MAY YOU LIVE IN INTERESTING TIMES y the time you read this, we will know who the 45th president of the United States will be – we hope.
This issue of The Commercial Record went to press before Nov. 8; at the time, Hillary Clinton was leading the polls nationwide and was likely to win Connecticut. Also at the time, Donald Trump had refused to confirm that he would concede the election should he fail to capture the requisite number of votes. Furthermore, as polls figures failed to show a clear victory by either candidate, the possibility of another Gore v. Bush loomed large. Whatever the result, one thing is for certain – the election has passed, and we can all move on from another bruising election cycle. Theoretically, anyway. The current political climate in America will likely linger long past Nov. 8, or indeed Jan. 1, no matter the election’s outcome.
Our next president will have a very long road to reconciliation. The New York Times reported Trump supporters calling for armed insurrection in the event their candidate did not take the White House. The disillusioned Sanders supporters, having already lost that fight, are in danger of disengaging from politics altogether – a crushing blow for the dominant parties that work so hard to win their votes. The third-party candidates’ supporters, rarely taken seriously, derided as foolish and naïve, have the capacity to do real damage to the establishment (if they can get their acts together). Less speculation exists on the postelection actions of Clinton supporters, likely because they’re the odds-on favorites to be jubilantly celebrating.
Regardless of how the country voted, a large portion of it is – and will remain – very unhappy. They will have every right to be; if this lengthy and depressing election cycle did anything, it exposed the grinding misery of the American public. That misery has deep roots in our nation’s recent history. It comes from Jim Crow, the Great Recession, climate change, income inequality, rampant opioid addiction, seismic socioeconomic changes, etc. etc. And it is not going to go away just because the polls have closed. This ugly election is concluded; will the disappointed voters accept the will of the people? Will they settle into grumbling and wait patiently for 2020? Will the two parties take a good, long look at how their actions and positions align with the rest of the country? Or will they carry on with business as usual? Rarely does progress result from inaction; pointing out the problem is only the start. From that must come conversations – like the ones the country has been having lately as our scars and grievances have been exposed. It’s too soon to say whether those conversations will result in any actual, sustainable and meaningful change in our political process – but we must keep having them. The president of the United States of America, with as much power as he or she wields, will not be able to save us from ourselves. We must do that, together. It’s a scary world out there, folks, and there’s a lot of work to be done to heal our great nation. Let’s start by talking to each other – and listening to the answers. n

BANKS EXPLORE MULTIPLE AVENUES FOR COMMUNITY INVESTMENT Charitable Foundations, Employee Volunteerism Remain Popular BY LAURA ALIX | COMMERCIAL RECORD STAFF
W
hen the holidays roll around, your bank will surely collect coats and canned goods, donate turkeys to the local food bank, and cut a sizable check to a nonprofit doing some good in the community, but behind the feel-good photos runs finely-tuned machinery. Consider charitable foundations, just one favorite vehicle by which businesses can put dollars back into their market areas. Setting up a charitable foundation isn’t a simple process, said Barbara Freedman Wand, a partner at Day Pitney LLP who advises individuals and businesses on trusts and estate and philanthropic planning. First one must set up an entity, a trust or corporation, as the basis for the foundation and then apply to the IRS for approval, which is necessary if contributions are to be deductible for income tax purposes. The IRS will likely to take several months to act on it, and after that point, the foundation must register with the attorney general of the state in which it’s headquartered and the foundation must file annual returns with the IRS. In spite of the hurdles, there are a number of benefits to establishing a charitable foundation as a vehicle for giving money back to the community. For instance, a company can funnel more money into the foundation during a particularly profitable year without having to necessarily award all of those funds that same year, Wand said.
6 | THE COMMERCIAL RECORD | NOVEMBER 2016
First County Bank in Stamford established its charitable foundation with an initial contribution of $1 million in 2001 as a way of celebrating its 150th anniversary, said Chief Marketing Officer Karen Kelly. “As a mutual, we don’t have dividends, we don’t issue stock, so the foundation gave us the ability to pay a dividend back to the community,” she said. The foundation focuses its giving in three areas: children and families; education; and housing and economic development. It gave away roughly $170,000 in
In some ways, Wand said, businesses have a greater ability to donate to charities than individuals do because they also have a marketing budget through which they can take deductible donations as a business expense. Webster Bank in Waterbury also utilizes a number of different channels for its giving. The bank has a small private foundation named for its founder, Harold Webster Smith, that makes grants only within the city of Waterbury, but it does most of its giving through its corporate philanthropy office, said Kathy Luria, se-
tion funds might be used for the benefit of private individuals,” Wand said. There are more options than ever for giving back to your community, though. Wand said that individuals and businesses can now also make charitable donations through a donor-advised fund, a public charity typically set up by a commercial institution or community foundation. A person or company can have a separate account within the donor-advised fund and can make recommendations for how their donations are spent, but it’s ultimately the fund that makes the
its first year and now gives out anywhere from $600,000 to $650,000 annually. Chelsea Groton Bank also has a foundation that it formed in 1998 with a $2 million contribution and has since given over $2 million in grants, said Lori Dufficy, the bank’s director of sales and service. Chelsea Groton’s foundation does not focus on specific areas. “When you think about charitable grants, that is where the contributions usually have a very clear and measurable support for programs,” she said. “When the bank does sponsorships, we usually get something in return. We might get some promotion or marketing or some entertainment value.” So when First County sponsors the Oyster Festival in Norwalk, as an example, the bank sets up a table or has employees on hand to hand out promotional materials and chat with festival attendees.
nior vice president of community affairs. “When we think about giving back at Webster, we really focus our giving around making sure people have their basic needs met and making sure they have food and shelter,” she said.
decision about where to send the money. Donor-advised funds can be an attractive option for charitable giving. For one thing, individual donors have none of the reporting requirements with respect to their donor-advised funds with the IRS and state attorney general that charitable foundations have. There’s also no requirement to pay out 5 percent of total assets every year, as foundations are required to do, and donations may be made anonymously, Wand said. And of course, banks also like to give back in the form of volunteerism, can drives and clothing drives. Every bank in this story mentioned employee volunteerism as a way that they like to give back. “We think about full stewardship,” Dufficy said. “It’s not just writing a check.” n
Read The Fine Print A bank or other business that’s interested in setting up a charitable foundation also needs to understand a few rules. “Many transactions are prohibited between a charitable private foundation and donors and other disqualified persons,” including people who serve on the board or as managers of the foundation, she said. A donor cannot lease property (other than rent-free) or lend money (unless it’s a no-interest loan) to the foundation, for instance. “All of these prohibited transactions are meant to get at abuses where founda-

Time To Take A Break
SUCCESSFUL REAL ESTATE PROS USE SLOW SEASON TO REFUEL AND RECONNECT Downtime Is Great For Continuing Ed, Marketing And Refueling For Spring
BY JIM MORRISON | COMMERCIAL RECORD STAFF
A
s the holidays descend upon us, most people in the residential real estate world welcome the relaxed pace. Savvy business people recommend more than relaxing during the slow part of the real estate cycle; they say it’s also a great time to re-tool. Julie Corrado is a busy Realtor by any measure. Working for Coldwell Banker, she closed more than 100 deals in the Greater Hartford area in 2015 and is on track to do it again this year. It’s a breakneck pace, but it’s very deliberate. Corrado plans her work, then works her plan. She’s always been careful about taking care of herself and not skipping vacations or exercise, but since the birth of her son this summer, how she allocates her
time has become even more deliberate. Corrado spends time each fall reviewing how the previous year has gone and writing down her personal, financial and business goals for the next year. “My goal is usually to try to sell more units than the previous year, but this year I kept it the same,” she said. “I have to write them down because otherwise they’re just floating around and not pushing me. I also know I do better with short-
10 | THE COMMERCIAL RECORD | NOVEMBER 2016
term goals, so if I have a goal for the year, I tend to break it down by month.” It’s a similar story for loan originators, said Jim Earl, regional manager at Guaranteed Rate, based in Southington. In addition to managing the agents in his area, he’s also a loan originator with a $30 million book of business. The refinance business is dictated largely by interest rates and can be busy at any time of year, but the purchase market slows down around Thanksgiving and ramps back up in March. “When everything slows down is when the real pros heat up,” Earl said. “That’s when you want to be sure you have all your ducks in a row. In the fall, I’m reviewing 2016 and strategizing with my team for 2017. We focus on setting goals and coaching. We’ll sit down with every one of our loan officers
and talk about things other people are doing that they might want to try.” Corrado said she also uses the slow period to work on her taxes – a laborious but necessary task.
Season Of Gratitude To brighten the shortening days, Corrado takes time to connect with her clients. “I’m much better at popping by than I am about emailing and calling clients,” she said. “I dropped off 50 chrysanthemums to my top clients this fall. It lets them know I’m there for them. I also have about 120 clients who come to my annual Thanksgiving party, where I thank those people that helped me throughout the year.” In December, Corrado makes a point to spend time with her friends and family, and get her continuing education requirements out of the way, but she allocates some time for clients as well. “I deliver a gorgeous, fresh wreath to the door of my top clients of the year and an ornament with the year, so they’ll always remember the year they bought their home,” she said. It helps them remember her, too. Jim
Earl does much the same. “We always do our eight hours of continuing education training in October,” he said. “I like to have it in our office, but this year we’re going to do it online. We also market to past customers to make sure we stay top of mind for them. I tell everybody that this time is time to give back and thank the people who’ve helped you have a successful year and ask for referrals. You want to create relationships. It’s a good time to reach them when things are slower because they have more time to listen.” Earl said it’s also a great time to thank his clients and employees. “We always have a holiday party,” Earl said. “The whole month of November we’re doing a food drive and the Connecticut office raised 1.5 tons of food that we donated to the Southington Food Pantry last year. It’s part of [our] teambuilding.”
Take Care Of Yourself And Your People December and January are great months for people in the mortgage industry to go away, relax and refuel, Earl said; he’s taking his family to Mexico for New Year’s Eve. He
encourages his loan officers to do the same, but also to study up on the many different nuances of different loan requirements. “I want our loan officers to learn everything about all the loan products, so when they’re qualifying that loan, they put clients in the exact right product so the loan goes through without too many road rashes,” Earl said. “One of the biggest problems is when loan officers connect people with the wrong product.” Earl, who is also a high school football coach, summed it up: “If you’re not getting better, you’re getting worse,” he said. “Improve yourself in whatever way you can. Think of creative ways to go after new business, improve your marketing materials.” Corrado said she also likes to go someplace warm in February, when Connecticut days are darkest and coldest. She wants to start the busy spring season relaxed and rejuvenated, so she is at her best to help sellers sell and buyers buy. “I work hard so that I can enjoy my life,” she said. “I work to live, I don’t live to work.” n Email: jmorrison@thewarrengroup.com

C-CHANGES IN CONNECTICUT’S EXECUTIVE SUITES Essex Savings Bank recently hired Jeffrey Stever as vice president and commercial loan officer. Stever brings a background in commercial lending, underwriting and overall banking knowledge to Essex Savings Bank. He most recently worked as credit risk manager at Ion Bank in Naugatuck, and worked as a commercial lender and relationship officer at several financial institutions in Connecticut throughout his career. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy has appointed Art House to serve as the state’s chief cybersecurity risk officer. In his new role, he will be responsible for working to enhance cybersecurity prevention and protection efforts in a comprehensive, cross-agency, cross-sector manner. Most recently, House served as chairman of the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority and he played an instrumental role in the development of the Cybersecurity Action Plan which helped identify solutions for enhanced cybersecurity across the state, specifically within the electric, natural gas and water sectors.
Stamford-based Waypoint Residential announced the appointment of two senior executives, Peter DiCorpo and Ed Ryder, to support the firm’s significant growth and geographic expansion. DiCorpo has been named COO and will oversee Waypoint’s finance activities. He has 22 years of experience in real estate, most recently as the president of the U.S. Core Investment Platform for CBRE Global Investors. In addition to his new position, DiCorpo is the incoming chairman of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Managers. Ryder, based in Waypoint’s Chicago office, has been named a senior managing director and is responsible for investment activity in the Midwestern and Western regions as well as national oversight for various portfolio management functions. Ryder brings over 24 years of experience in real estate, the last 18 of which he spent with Pearlmark Real Estate Partners where he invested in both multifamily and office properties nationwide.
Rodrigo Lopez recently made history as the first Latino elected to serve as chairman of the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA). Lopez was sworn in as the 2017 chairman during the MBA Annual Convention and Expo opening ceremony in Boston. He has been an active member of the MBA for 30 years.

AWARDS & ACCOLADES The American Bankers Association recently honored Berkshire Bank for its corporate volunteer efforts through the Community Commitment Awards program. Berkshire Bank received recognition for its Xtraordinary Day, during which the bank closed all retail locations and operations centers to give all employees an opportunity to volunteer in the communities they serve. The bank employees completed 56 group service projects, selected and planned by local employees. Approximately 95 percent of Berkshire’s employees participated in the day of service, which puts Berkshire Bank on track to achieve the highest volunteer participation rate of any company in the U.S., according to a statement from the bank. 12 | THE COMMERCIAL RECORD | NOVEMBER 2016

JIM GUARRERA BROKER/OWNER, CAREY & GUARRERA REAL ESTATE After 18 years of teaching school, Guarrera jumped into real estate full time, spending six years in sales, then four years as a general manager, before starting his own firm with a partner 27 years ago. How do you find competing against larger, national brands? Fortunately, because of our name recognition, we’ve been number one for sales and listings for the last 10 years. The second place office is also an independent. The bigger firms have all been behind us. A lot of it is reputation. We’ve been very fortunate with turnover. … We consider our office atmosphere more of a family atmosphere. … There is trust among our agents. I think it starts with my partner and I; we wouldn’t tolerate it. If someone calls looking for you, we’re going to track you down. If we can’t find you, we’ll service the client for you. We look out for each other. Do you have any predictions for the 2017 market? This year has been very good for us; it’ll be ahead of 2015, which was very good. In 2017, if mortgage interest rates go up, it won’t be dramatically. And because we have such a wide range of homes, and Shelton has such a good school system, people will still buy. I don’t see the foreclosures in our area impacting our market that much.
CAROLYN WELCH VICE PRESIDENT, COMMERCIAL LOAN OFFICER, CHELSEA GROTON BANK Carolyn Welch hit the ground running when she joined Chelsea Groton Bank’s commercial team this summer. Tell The Commercial Record’s readers about what you’re aiming to bring to Chelsea Groton. I’m actually trying to bring a couple different things to Chelsea Groton. … Certainly we hope to increase our SBA exposure and our SBA lending. … The other thing that I’m planning on accomplishing: we have the loan production office in Glastonbury, so we’re hoping to be able to expand beyond our traditional footprint. Through my centers of influence and the network that I have, we’re going to be focusing quite a bit in New Haven, Middlesex and Hartford [counties], so hopefully getting the brand out, the brand recognition and expanding into the markets beyond our traditional footprint. What’s on the horizon for Chelsea Groton Bank? We all need to look at alternative ways of doing business. Brick and mortar, we all know, is the most expensive way to do business. While we need the brick and mortar, it’s really important to certainly look at alternatives and additional ways to generate revenue. … The things that [President and CEO Michael Rauh] has done for the bank since he’s taken over as president, he’s hired great people to surround him in all the different areas so that the bank can continue to grow.
EDWARD JORDAN VFOUNDER AND MANAGING DIRECTOR, NORTHEAST PRIVATE CLIENT GROUP With the real estate market starting to recover in 2010, Edward Jordan took the initiative to found his own brokerage specializing in mid-market sales of investment properties in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Westchester County. What trends are you seeing in demand for multifamily properties in Connecticut? We’ve seen New Haven boom over the cycle. ... That’s become the hip city in Connecticut. So there are lots of rehab of older apartments and conversion of obsolete office buildings to new apartments, and a fair amount of new construction in downtown. It’s a very dynamic marketplace for investors looking to add values or develop. That said, there’s always the risk of overdevelopment. And New Haven is approaching overdevelopment on class A properties, so there will be a little softening of rents. We love the B and C level product, going in and repositioning the assets for a solid tenancy. That’s where this market still has legs for a while longer. What types of retail properties are investors looking for? There’s two baskets of products we see trading quickly. One is for the income investor to have a steady return: the anchored strip center. Those are the opportunities where you’ve got a net-leased pharmacy or grocery store that’s providing traffic flow and long-term national credit tenancy. And then you’ve got the in-line spaces that are more mom-and-pop, but that give the owner the chance to move rents more quickly and reposition assets. NOVEMBER 2016 | THE COMMERCIAL RECORD | 13

HISTORIC REHABILITATION PROGRAM HITS A WALL Tax Credits Program A Victim Of Its Own Success
State historic rehabilitation tax credits have been approved for developers of 54 historic properties statewide over the last 27 months.
BY STEVE ADAMS | COMMERCIAL RECORD STAFF
R
edevelopment of vacant mill buildings into apartments and condominiums has been one of the bright spots in Connecticut’s post-recession real estate market.
14 | THE COMMERCIAL RECORD | NOVEMBER 2016
Developers have converted dozens of abandoned industrial properties into multifamily housing, addressing a need championed by housing advocates who say the state needs to build more inventory besides single-family homes to resolve mismatches
in demand for housing types. There’s one problem: the state historic tax credit program, a crucial element of many projects’ financing packages, has run out of money, a victim of its own success. The state doles out $31.7 million annually for the program, founded in 2007 and revamped in 2014. All of fiscal 2017’s credits have been claimed just three months into the budget year, threatening to delay future projects. It’s the earliest in the fiscal year that all of the tax credits have been claimed in the current program’s 27-month history, said Julie Carmelich, who administers the program for the Department of Economic Development. Over that period, 54 properties have been approved for tax credits. Preservationists, housing activists and economic development officials are lobbying Gov. Dannel Malloy to nearly double next year’s tax credits allocation to keep up the program’s momentum. “We’re dealing with a mismatch between cost of construction and completed value,” said Michael Freimuth, executive director of the Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA). “And the credits are a great gap tool.” CRDA is backing nine multifamily housing projects totaling 460 units in Hartford, six of which are seeking to tap into historic tax credits. The credits offset 25 percent of the cost of rehabilitation to qualifying properties – which must be listed on either the national or state Register of Historic Places – with a cap of $4.5 million per project. Multifamily projects are the most popular reuse type under the program, because many developers also take advantage of low-income tax credits by setting aside 20 percent of units for income-eligible households, said Renee Tribert, project manager at the Connecticut Trust for Historic Preservation (CTHP). “We see there’s tremendous interest in it, where it’s already oversubscribed,” Tribert said. As a short-term measure, the state Department of Economic Development is allowing developers to begin reserving tax credits for fiscal 2018. That stopgap measure ensures that there’s no immediate interruption of the
A recent study by the CTHP estimates that there are 1,400 historic properties in the state that could potentially take advantage of historic tax credits to be redeveloped. program. But advocates say it’s likely that next year’s allocation will be exhausted early as well. “It’s next spring that we likely will begin to see investors and developers wondering about their tax-credit reservations,” said Daniel Mackay, executive director of CTHP. “The only way to get over that hurdle, rather than falling further behind, we need to raise the cap.” Housing advocates are asking Malloy to include an additional $30 million in next year’s budget proposal for historic tax credits. Bill Crosskey, principal at Hartfordbased Crosskey Architects, said the additional allocation could be a tough sell given the state’s budget constraints. But he pointed to studies that indicate that the program more than pays for itself in economic activity generated by new projects. “Some of the legislators who don’t fully know the details of the program might think they’re giving up $30 million in tax revenue,” said Crosskey, whose firm has designed a half-dozen recent projects in the Hartford area that participated in the program. “But once they understand how the program works, it actually generates over five times the tax credits’ value in economic development.” The potential for growth of the program is substantial. A recent study by the CTHP estimates that there are 1,400 historic properties in the state that could potentially take advantage of historic tax credits to be redeveloped. “The Connecticut economy is beginning to grow and there’s an extraordinary stock of historic buildings in downtown areas and mills that are ripe for redevelopment,” Mackay said.
More Specifics Sought On Funding Sources At the same time, developers could be
given a heavier workload putting together documentation to qualify for state historic tax credits. State officials are considering new rules that would require developers to provide more specifics on additional sources of financing, to ensure that credits go to projects that have a significant chance of breaking ground. “That is something we’ve always asked for, but it’s been fairly light on information,” Carmelich said. “So we’re looking for more in an effort to demonstrate project readiness.” Developers will be asked to provide timelines for obtaining funding from other sources, letters of intent from lenders and evidence that projects have been approved by local permitting authorities. “They’re talking about converting it into a competitive process,” said Kent Schwendy, president of the Hartford-based Corporation for Independent Living. “I think it’s the wrong approach. What they need to do is raise the allocations and make more tax credits available, because they pay for themselves.” CIC is redeveloping the former Capewell Horse Nail Co. factory in Hartford into 72 apartments, its fifth project to receive historic tax credits. Units are expected to be completed Dec. 1. The new application requirements could complicate the financing picture, CRDA’s Freimuth said, given that other sources of financing can be contingent upon approval of the tax credits. “It’s a bit of a catch-22,” he said. “These things are iterative. You build one source to lead to the next source, and the credits are often used to trigger other equity or get to a loan-to-value (ratio). These projects aren’t always that clean and simple. It’s really building blocks, and you try to put together as many of them as you can.” n Email: sadams@thewarrengroup.com

NEWS ROUNDUP TENANTS SUE DEVELOPER FOR NEGLECT AT NEW HAVEN HOUSING COMPLEX
MALLOY: CRUMBLING FOUNDATIONS MAY RESULT FROM NATURAL DISASTER
By Laura Alix New Haven housing project residents filed a class action lawsuit charging the property owner with “demolition by neglect,” alleging the developer bought the complex with the intent of eventually tearing it down and building upscale housing in its place. So far, 271 residents, including 95 adults and 176 children, of the Church Street South housing complex have joined the suit against Newton, Massachusetts-based Northland Investment Corp. Its CEO Lawrence (Larry) Gottesdiener was also named as a separate defendant. The suit filed in U.S. District Court for the state of Connecticut charges the company, its executive and a variety of its shell companies with negligence, recklessness, emotional distress and violations of the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act (CUTPA). The 32-page complaint detailed a laundry list of problems with the property that residents said Northland allowed to fester, including leaking roofs and plumbing, broken doors and window, faulty plumbing and electrical systems, water leakage, broken bathroom and kitchen fixtures, toxic mold infestation and carbon monoxide leaks. “Allowing conditions to deteriorate to that point furthered Northland’s plan to redevelop the complex for more profitable use,” the complaint said.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy recently announced he has submitted a request to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) asking the agency to establish an office in northeastern Connecticut to assess the damage of homes with crumbing concrete foundations that are at risk of collapsing. Malloy requested that that FEMA determine the extent and impact of the approximately 34,130 affected homes in the area, in what the state believes is the result of a natural disaster, according to its investigation. The state believes the issue to be the result of the reaction of naturally occurring mineral pyrrhotite with oxygen and water. The iron sulfide mineral leads to a chemical reaction when exposed to oxygen and water, resulting in deterioration, Malloy wrote in the request. There are no state or national building standards that regulate the percentage of pyrrhotite allowed in aggregate used for residential or commercial foundations. Malloy argues that this mineral, when exposed to water, is so damaging that it should have not ever been considered for use in residential foundations. Because these building standards do not exist, this problem could easily cost anywhere between $100 million and $1 billion to fully remediate, according to a statement from Malloy.
EX-HARTFORD MAYOR’S CONVICTIONS EXPECTED TO BE THROWN OUT Former Hartford Mayor Eddie Perez is expected to have his corruption convictions formally thrown out, but he’s far from being in the clear. Perez was convicted in 2010 on extortion and bribery charges. He was sentenced to three years in prison but remained free pending appeal. The state’s highest court in July upheld a lower court ruling that state prosecutors improperly combined two cases against Perez into a single trial. Prosecutors say they intend to push forward with a new trial. Perez, a Democrat who was mayor from 2001 to 2010, was found guilty of accepting a contractor’s bribe of home improvements and trying to extort $100,000 from a developer.

WELLS FARGO FACES COSTLY OVERHAUL OF BANKRUPT SALES CULTURE
A Wallingford man was recently charged with stealing Bitcoins in a dark web phishing scheme. Bitcoins are a form of electronic currency and online marketplaces on the dark web typically accept them as a payment method. Michael Richo was arrested on a criminal complaint charging him with access device fraud, computer fraud, wire fraud, identity theft and money laundering. The complaint alleges that Richo posted fake links to online marketplaces on dark web forums. The links directed users to a fake login page, and when the individuals tried to log in, Richo stole their usernames and passwords. He monitored the individual’s bitcoin balance at the real marketplace, and if the individual later deposited bitcoins with the real marketplace, Richo withdrew the bitcoins before the individual could spend them and deposited the stolen bitcoins into his own bitcoin wallet. Richo then sold the stolen bitcoins to others in exchange for U.S. currency, which was deposited into a bank account that Richo controlled. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison for money laundering, up to 20 years in prison for wire fraud, up to 10 years in prison for access device fraud, up to five years in prison for computer fraud and up to two years in prison for aggravated identity theft.
Embroiled in a scandal over unauthorized customer accounts, Wells Fargo & Co. faces a steep challenge in overhauling its hard-charging sales culture without gutting profits. Until recently, Wells staffers labored under ambitious quotas while executives boasted to Wall Street about “cross-selling” each customer multiple accounts. That system collapsed with revelations that thousands of employees opened as many as 2 million accounts without customer permission, leading to a $185 million fine in September. But the problems ahead extend far beyond regulatory penalties, investigations and lawsuits. Executives will have to dismantle and rebuild systems of sales incentives and performance management that date back two decades, said retail banking experts, including two consultants who have worked for Wells Fargo. That will require heavy spending on hiring, training and installing safeguards against abuses. Most stock analysts covering Wells Fargo have cut profit forecasts, citing fallout from the scandal. Fitch Ratings also cut the bank’s credit rating outlook to “negative,” citing potential profit erosion. Some industry experts agree that the bank’s failures stem more from poor management than from the mere idea of selling customers multiple accounts, which isn’t unique to Wells.
DAVID BEATS GOLIATH: MORTGAGE LENDER TAKES DOWN CFPB Mortgage lender PHH landed a knock-down blow against the CFPB last month when three justices from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. circuit unanimously declared the bureau’s leadership structure unconstitutional and vacated a $103 million fine against the lender. All eyes in the industry have been on the case since June 2015, when PHH challenged the CFPB’s $103 million increase to a $6.4 million fine for PHH illegally accepting kickbacks for referring customers to specific mortgage insurers. PHH challenged the fine and the constitutionality of the structure of the CFPB, specifically the fact that director Richard Cordray is not subject to presidential supervision. The decision, which discusses the separation of powers in the three branches of government, went all the way back to the framers of the Constitution and said, “To carry out the executive power and be accountable for the exercise of that power, the president must be able to control subordinate officers in executive agencies.”

A Taxing Debate
GOOD ESTATE PLANNING CALLS FOR FLEXIBILITY
Estate Taxes Are An Ever-Changing And Popular Legislative Lever
BY KATHLEEN CASSIDY AND RON A. PAC | SPECIAL TO THE COMMERCIAL RECORD
E
state planning is an ongoing process, simply because it touches upon some of life’s most emotional financial questions, such as what your children and grandchildren’s future will look like and what kind of legacy you want to leave behind. It’s always a good idea to update your estate plan periodically, especially after significant changes in your life. But there are also outside forces, such as changes in the tax law, that can make an estate plan obsolete overnight. Estate taxes, which are often a key motivation behind estate planning, always seem to wind up on the negotiating table when legislatures
are hammering out budgets, and they’ve been very unpredictable over the last 10 to 15 years. Even “permanent” legislation usually doesn’t last forever. It simply isn’t practical, or cost effective, to revise your documents every time there’s new tax law. The flexibility to adapt to changing circumstances has become increasingly important in designing estate plans.

RON A. PAC
The federal government, 18 states and the District of Columbia impose some kind of tax on the transfer of assets upon the owner’s death. The federal estate tax exemption has ranged from $2 million to $5.45 million since 2002. The tax was repealed in 2010 and then reinstated in 2011. The exemption was scheduled to
Estate taxes, which are often a key motivation behind estate planning, always seem to wind up on the negotiating table when legislatures are hammering out budgets. drop to $1 million at the end of 2012, but Congress acted at the last minute to prevent that. New developments over the last few years include portability, meaning that a surviving spouse can take over the unused exemption of a deceased spouse, and inflation indexing on the amount of the exemption. While the current estate tax law is not scheduled to sunset, there’s always the chance that Congress will make changes. The 2016 political season underscored how widely positions can vary when it comes to the appropriate exemption and rate of taxation. Hillary Clinton proposed raising the top federal estate tax rate from 40 percent to 65 percent, while Donald Trump pledged to repeal the tax altogether. This article was written prior to the election, but regardless of the winner, there very likely will be debate among lawmakers about the future of the tax in 2017. State estate taxes have been directly affected by the tumultuous path of the federal estate tax. Currently, the majority of states do not have an estate tax. For many of the states that do, it’s still a work in progress. For example, New York revamped its tax drastically in 2014. New Jersey’s legislature recently voted to repeal its estate tax, beginning on Jan. 1, 2018 (although New Jersey will still have an inheritance tax).
Adapting To Future Changes While we can’t predict where, or even if, the estate tax law will settle, we can focus on building estate plans that are able to adapt to future legislative changes, as well as changes in the lives of the people involved. A flexible plan can eliminate the need to revise documents every time there’s a change in the law, but it can also make it more palatable for people to execute strategies that require them to give up some measure of access and control. For people who know they want to leave a
legacy to their heirs, but who don’t know yet what that legacy should look like, it can also take some of the pressure off decision making. Clearly, estate planning can be a complex business. A few flexible strategies are outlined below, but please be aware that space does not permit a detailed description of these, or indeed of all the issues that can arise with an individual’s estate plan. Consulting a professional is highly advisable. A Credit Shelter Trust (also known as a Bypass Trust) is a traditional estate tax strategy to preserve the estate tax exemptions of both spouses by moving assets outside the taxable estate when the first spouse passes away. Many estate plans making this funding happen automatically, but with portability now in effect on a federal level, a surviving spouse does not necessarily need a Credit Shelter Trust to keep the deceased spouse’s exemption. There are still valid reasons why funding the trust may be beneficial, not the least of which is that most states’ exemptions are not portable, but it may be a good idea give the surviving spouse a choice about whether to fund the trust or not, and in what amount. By making gifts to an irrevocable trust during life, a donor can take advantage of the annual gift tax exclusion (in 2016, $14,000 per year, per beneficiary) and move appreciating assets outside the taxable estate. However, this requires the donor to give up access to, and control over, the gifted assets. The uncertain future of the estate tax presents another hurdle, since it’s hard to predict whether today’s planning will be beneficial under tomorrow’s law. But this type of trust can be drafted for maximum flexibility by some of the methods noted below: • The donor can make his or her spouse a beneficiary of the trust, creating something like a backdoor to the trust assets. The trustee has
discretion to distribute assets to the beneficiary-spouse if necessary. • When an estate plan involves giving up access and control over assets, the choice of who should be trustee is a common road block. Many people are reluctant to look beyond the family circle, and rather than considering a professional trustee such as an accountant, attorney, or trust company, they end up doing nothing at all. When a trust agreement contains provisions making it simple to change trustees in the future, it can be much easier to make a decision and execute on a plan. • The donor can retain the right to substitute assets of equal value for the trust assets at any time. • The trust agreement can include provisions allowing the assets to be “decanted,” i.e., poured from the current trust to another with more favorable terms. • The trust agreement can contain provisions allowing parents to delay the ultimate decision about if and when children will have unrestricted ownership of the assets. Life insurance, held outside the taxable estate in trust, is a common tool to fund estate tax liability. For individuals who may or may not have taxable estate in the future, a simple way to adapt is to establish an irrevocable trust and fund it with convertible term insurance. That allows them to lock in their insurability today for a relatively low cost, and if estate taxes remain a concern, the policy can be converted to permanent insurance in the future. n Kathleen Cassidy, J.D., is an advanced markets director who works in the Wealth Strategies Division of the Barnum Financial Group and can be reached at kcassidy@barnumfg.com; Ron Pac, RICP, is a financial planner with Barnum and can be reached at rpac@barnumfg.com.

Making A Good Impression
BUT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE WORTH MORE!
10 Ways To Greatly Enhance The Value Of Your Business BY DAVID A. HUMPHREY | SPECIAL TO THE COMMERCIAL RECORD
20 | THE COMMERCIAL RECORD | NOVEMBER 2016
T
he sale of a business is likely the most emotional decision an owner will make since first deciding to become an entrepreneur. Often when approached with an offer, an owner simply isn’t ready to capitalize on the opportunity and maximize the deal – however, a little presentation work can change this, and increase the value dramatically. Proactive entrepreneurs prepare for such an opportunity by identifying aspects of the business that would both be attractive, and of concern, to a potential buyer. By underDAVID A. HUMPHREY standing the buyer’s perspective, changes can be implemented to alleviate potential risk factors, and thus increase value: 1. First impressions matter. How buyers perceive your business is critical and how your company presents in general will tell them a lot about what needs to be updated, changed or improved. Potential buyers will be concerned with whether they will have to invest in new manufacturing equipment, computer networks and other systems. Poor lighting, clutter and dusty inventory will make the business look tired and second-rate. Having a business that is bright, energetic and vibrant will enhance value. Your digital presence, website and social media are all part of presenting a business as ready for tomorrow, rather than resting on accolades of yesterday. 2. Diversify your customer base. Customer concentration (too much revenue from one or a small handful of customers) can be an issue. Buyers may walk away completely, reduce the cash value of their offer, or replace cash at closing with a payout over time structured deal. Improve value by ensuring you have a diversified customer base, which will reduce the risk of a significant customer leaving or gaining too much control over pricing. 3. Improve customer retention. Buyers look for businesses that serve a niche and retain customers. Determine why custom-
ers choose to return to your business time and again. Perhaps it’s because of specialty manufacturing equipment, knowledge or expertise, quicker delivery times or even an enhanced customer experience. Creating lasting, sticky customer relationships increases the business’ value. 4. Ensure the future looks bright. Safeguarding against potential irrelevance in a quickly evolving world through diversification and innovation is critical. No buyer is going to pay a premium to invest in a busi-
7. Know how to answer the buyer’s toughest question: “Why are you selling?” How you answer the question will have a direct effect on perceived value. Business owners must offer a clear and convincing reasoning that the business is strong and growing but they are selling because it is time for a change. 8. Once a deal is agreed to, time is of the essence. The longer it takes, the greater the chance of a buyer postponing, renegotiating or walking away. Be sure to promptly provide necessary documentation, remove any hurdles and work with your attorney to expedite the transaction. Time kills deals, and deals never get better during the delay between an offer letter and the closing. 9. It’s not your success; it’s the company’s success. As the owner of the business, if you are the most essential employee, key to sales, operations, efficiency and growth
No buyer is going to pay a premium to invest in a business that seems as if it’s already fading away. ness that seems as if it’s already fading away. You must know, and be able to explain to a buyer, why the business will remain relevant in the marketplace going forward. 5. Positive trends. All businesses go through cycles that are influenced by a number of factors such as the weather, the economy or specific events within the company. Buyers are looking for a business with positive revenue and profit trends and are typically willing to pay more to get it. Time the sale for when the trends are positive and value is peaking, not when the owner is coasting and the business is stagnant. 6. Having and/or renewing patents may add value. Patents that impact operations or sales or patents that protect and insulate the business from competitors tend to be valuable. If there is any question as to whether intellectual property should be patented, consult attorneys specializing in patent law to evaluate the right course of action.
then value decreases, sometimes even to zero. It is imperative that action is taken to make your role less critical. The focus should always be on the success of the business’ entire team. 10. Increase revenues. A business with growing revenues conveys the opportunity for even greater future increased profits, growth, and market share. In the years leading up to the sale, one of the greatest value enhancement objectives is increasing revenues. Greater revenues can offset many other issues which may cause a buyer to hesitate in offering exciting and interesting price and terms. n David A.
