Launch of personalized advisor group for in-demand specialized and custom protection for affluent Canadians

TORONTO, July 21, 2021 /CNW/ – The new TD Insurance Private Client Advice is Canada’s first comprehensive direct-to-consumer insurance service designed to better protect affluent Canadians and their families with a sophisticated insurance advisor experience.

“Preserving wealth is as critically important as creating it for many of our clients and often is one of their most neglected financial goals,” says James Russell, President and CEO, TD Insurance. “Many Canadians who require customized insurance protection have been underserved and, as a result, underinsured. TD Insurance Private Client Advice is a highly specialized direct-to-consumer service designed to remove the complexity of understanding and purchasing multiple insurance products from different insurers that can unintentionally create gaps between needs and coverage, leaving people at risk.”

Private Client Advice customers get greater peace of mind knowing they are working with highly experienced and dedicated insurance advisors who specialize in providing guidance to assess and manage sophisticated protection issues that are as unique as each client. Our claims service offers a seamless experience that includes a dedicated Claims Specialist and an exclusive network of TD Insurance Auto Centres to start repairs quickly.

“TD Insurance Private Client Advice will further help provide clients with goals-based financial plan discussions,” says Paul Clark, Executive Vice President, TD Bank Group & Head of Private Wealth Management and Financial Planning. “Together, TD will provide comprehensive wealth management advice that includes building net worth, implementing tax-efficient strategies and leaving a legacy, combined with tailored insurance services through an exceptional Private Client Advice experience that will help protect what matters most to clients.”

Coverage is also about safeguarding the comfort and enjoyment our clients get from what’s insured. High-net-worth clients often face greater risks to their lifestyle, wealth and most-valued possessions in the event of a significant personal or professional loss. From home and auto to artwork and jewellery coverage, our Private Client Advice team has the expertise to handle all aspects of our client’s portfolios in areas that are often not sufficiently covered by conventional insurance policies.

TD Insurance Private Client Advice services include:

• Homeowner’s insurance, as well as coverage for cottages and chalets
• Personal excess liability
• Coverage of valuable articles such as wine collections, art collections, and jewellery
• Automobile and recreational vehicle insurance
• Yacht and watercraft insurance

LONDON, July 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — S&P Global Platts (“Platts”), the leading independent provider of information, analytics, and benchmark prices for the commodities and energy markets, and Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE:ICE), a leading global provider of data, technology, and market infrastructure, today published a joint white paper and launched simultaneous consultations on the evolution of the Brent complex, which includes Dated Brent, Cash Brent, and ICE Brent Crude Oil futures.

The paper, co-authored by Platts and ICE which oversee, respectively, the Dated Brent physical benchmark price assessment and the ICE Brent Crude Oil futures contract, provides an overview of options for adding additional deliverable crude oil to the Brent complex and outlines a number of key issues and questions as it seeks market feedback.

Ongoing discussions conducted separately by ICE and Platts have demonstrated that industry opinion has focused specifically on two possible streams of crude to become part of Dated Brent. The first is Johan Sverdrup as a deliverable option under the Forward Brent contract, which would remain on a Free on Board (“FOB”) basis. The second is West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Midland, which would be a deliverable grade on an FOB USGC basis.

“In publishing this paper, Platts and ICE ensure the market gets to hear the key themes regarding the evolution of the entire Brent complex, from the physical elements of Dated Brent itself and related assessments to financial futures,” said Joel Hanley, Global Director, Crude & Fuel Oil Markets, S&P Global Platts. “We look forward to engaging with market participants and ensuring the smooth transition to the next phase of Brent’s journey at Platts.”

“Key to Brent’s multi-decade success as the global crude oil benchmark, has been its ability to evolve, and we look forward to ongoing discussions with customers as we navigate this next phase of its evolution with Platts,” said Jeff Barbuto, Global Head of Oil Markets at ICE. “Our goal for this consultation is to facilitate a discussion with market participants covering all of the key issues which need to be addressed so that we can strengthen the Brent complex for decades to come.”

The white paper discusses a common set of identified issues and questions around the possible inclusion of the Johan Sverdrup and WTI Midland streams. Platts and ICE have today announced market consultations through Platts’ Subscriber Notes and ICE’s Circular to solicit feedback. All interested parties are encouraged to provide feedback and to put forward any further relevant items through the respective consultation feedback channels. The deadline for comments is September 30, 2021.

SALT LAKE CITY, July 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Health Catalyst, Inc. (“Health Catalyst,”) (Nasdaq: HCAT), a leading provider of data and analytics technology and services to healthcare organizations, today announced the launch of Value Optimizer™, a new population health solution that quickly identifies highly valuable opportunities for value-based care (VBC) performance improvement. 

VBC payment models have become increasingly common as healthcare organizations seek a better approach to managing risk and achieving profitability in population health. But, while many healthcare organizations have relied on population health tools to support their VBC payment models and better understand their populations, many existing products lack the full-service data and insight capabilities to empower population health leaders optimize their VBC strategy.

Traditional population health offerings provide only black-box logic and groupers, while EHRs lack the ability to deliver granular-level revenue and utilization information about specific populations—critical information leaders need to compare the total cost of care with performance benchmarks across the care continuum. Further, the lack of data integration capabilities from these traditional tools results in partial data sets and an incomplete view of populations. It’s time for leaders to reject substandard population health results.

“Health systems are desperate to curb the rising cost of healthcare, but not at the expense of patient care and quality. It is an issue that has only been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Darian Allen, SVP and General Manager, Population Health at Health Catalyst. “Value Optimizer is a full-service technology solution capable of meeting the challenge by increasing visibility into health system performance and understanding of value base care agreements. Healthcare organizations are empowered with the insight and confidence needed to deliver the best care to every patient.”

“Value Optimizer allows us to uncover opportunities quickly and easily without building a data set to see the likely impact. We can quickly drill down into the data and recommend potential interventions,” said Rich Balbach, Director, Clinical and Business Intelligence, Health Alliance Medical Plans. Health Alliance is part of the Carle Health system.

With Value Optimizer healthcare leaders can maximize every opportunity in their value-based agreements. Features include the following:

• One comprehensive, quantified view of potential financial opportunities, enabling leaders to see and understand all financial options—up to 10,000 possible opportunities across the care continuum—benchmarked and compared with dollar impact.
• Continually
  refreshed data and benchmarking; Value Optimizer, leverages the Health Catalyst Data Operating System (DOS™) platform to deliver timely, meaningful data to help guide the most effective VBC strategy.
• A
  transparent view of legible groupers, metric calculations, and risk and benchmarking methodologies for a covered population. Increased visibility allows open-book analytics across 10+ population-health domains.
• Expert guidance to maximize efficient use of the robust technology and take VBC performance to the next level. Financial leaders can collaborate with Health Catalyst experts to identify opportunities within the clinical, operational, and financial context for any population.

About Health Catalyst 
Health Catalyst is a leading provider of data and analytics technology and services to healthcare organizations committed to being the catalyst for massive, measurable, data-informed healthcare improvement. Its customers leverage the cloud-based data platform—powered by data from more than 100 million patient records and encompassing trillions of facts—as well as its analytics software and professional services expertise to make data-informed decisions and realize measurable clinical, financial, and operational improvements.
