CLEVELAND - NOVEMBER 16: Ray Lewis #52 of the Baltimore Ravens celebrates a defensive stop in the third quarter against the Cleveland Browns at Cleveland Browns Stadium on November 16, 2009 in Cleveland, Ohio. (Photo by Matt Sullivan/Getty Images)
Many observers were ready to bury the Baltimore Ravens after they lost Ray Lewis and Lardarius Webb during their Oct. 14 win over Dallas. But the Ravens have won two of three games since the defensive duo went down and, after putting up 55 points against Oakland on Sunday, the Ravens stand at 7-2 heading into next week's division matchup with Pittsburgh. Baltimore has remained competitive on defense, but has won by scoring points – 124 in the last four games, specifically. Derek Arnold, senior editor with the Russell Street Report, says that's no accident. "Despite their reputation, the Ravens are no longer a team that is carried by the defense," he says. "They have become one of the NFL's best red zone offenses and, as a result, are near the top of the league in points scored." Consistency is still an issue on offense and he's not banking on another division title just yet. But the offense is improving and seems to be understanding that it is going to need to score in the mid-20s ...

The Chilean economy has been recognized as the most competitive of
Latin America. In general, Chile has been characterized by political and
economic stability and relatively low levels of corruption and offers one of
the most advanced physical infrastructure systems in the region. The potential
and proven track record of this economy has led to Chile's recent
accession to the OECD as its 31st member and its first member in South
America. Not surprisingly, Chile is often a case study in economic development.
The question is whether its model will show the power of entrepreneurship as an
engine for prosperity?
Access to funding is often mentioned in meetings about how to enable high impact entrepreneurship. We are always reminded that bank lending to small businesses remains tight. Even loans subsidized by the Small Business Administration have dropped off in recent months. Venture capital was prominent historically for its role in financially catalyzing high-growth companies, but has over the years become less significant in spurring entrepreneurship. So what are angel investors up to this summer?
Like many developing countries, Bolivia has a nascent, but promising
entrepreneurial environment. The country has a good number of
institutions that offer financial and technical services that network
the country's millions of micro-entrepreneurs. However, as readers of
this blog are well aware, data has confirmed time and again that it is
young firms that grow that provide the most benefits to society in terms
of job and wealth creation and innovation. Thus, the challenge ahead
for Bolivia is to enable more growth entrepreneurs.
The China we knew as the enormous economy largely fueled by cheap labor and inexpensive manufacturing has changed. Though happening slowly compared to its potential, China is becoming one of the most innovative economies on the planet and the birthplace of entrepreneurs like Robin Li, CEO of Baidu, who are entrepreneurial rock stars at home and around the world. Entrepreneurial capitalism seems to be taking hold in China. How is entrepreneurship overcoming the roadblocks of a planned economy?
I have just returned today from a short visit to South Korea where I addressed an international conference and met with various universities both in Seoul and Daejeon Valley – described to me by locals as Korea's Silicon Valley.
Visitors arriving at Seoul's acclaimed airport can only be impressed by its sophisticated application of technology into everyday lives. The train I rode from Seoul to Daejoen cruised at 300 Kilometers per hour, every taxi in Seoul was clean and paid for with a back seat touchpad card reader and the urban planning seemed super smart with local government being placed in beautiful floating structures on the river and national government being moved altogether out of Seoul.
Last week I participated in an interesting gathering in Washington, DC of top medical and policy experts who issued a new health care manifesto that might be of interest to entrepreneurs in the space. Hosted by the Council for American Medical Innovation, FasterCures and the Kauffman Foundation, the 2010 Translational Medicine Alliance Forum (TMAF) brought together leaders from academia, government agencies, and pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and venture industries to discuss models to enable and accelerate the progress of translational medicine.
The past few months have brought a new series of reports dissecting the job creation phenomenon by new firms, timely at a time when so much of the economic discussion lately in the U.S. has focused on strategies to recover the roughly 8 million jobs lost during this past recession. We already knew that research has firmly established that new firms—those no more than five years old—over the past three decades have been responsible for virtually all of the net new jobs created in the U.S. economy (see 2009 reports "Jobs Created from Business Startups in the United States," and "Where Will The Jobs Come From?"). As the nation debates this leading up to the mid-term elections in the United States, let's further examine U.S. job growth and its relationship to startup companies.
While the global financial crisis impacted almost all new entrepreneurs, it began in developed countries and hit their entrepreneurs harder. As a result, in richer countries, new business creation dropped sharply amid the crisis. In contrast, new business registrations in many low-income countries didn't change much. These are the findings in The 2010 World Bank Group Entrepreneurship Snapshots, which presents data collected about newly registered companies in 112 countries and was released recently.
The following is a collaborative post by Jonathan Ortmans, president of the Public Forum Institute and a senior fellow at the Kauffman Foundation, and Anders Hoffman, Director of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Policy for Erhvervs- og Byggestyrelsen
Denmark is in many ways a paradoxical country. It has the world's highest taxes and yet Danes are among the happiest people in the world according to the U.S. National Science Foundation. Denmark has generous social benefits, a large public sector and yet is quite innovative and entrepreneurial. The Global Competitiveness Report and the Index of Economic Freedom both rank Denmark 9th on their world lists, and the Legatum Prosperity Index ranks the country 6th in entrepreneurship and innovation. Denmark did not end in the top ten of these world lists by chance. What steps and policy initiatives made this possible?
Since it was launched in 2008 by the Kauffman Foundation and Enterprise
UK, more than 18,000 partner organizations joined the global movement to
shape the next generation of entrepreneurs. In its still short life,
GEW has established a solid and ongoing presence in more than 100
countries -- and counting. During the same time period, over 10 million
people around the world have participated in GEW activities and 2010
promises to boost that total to tap even more human capital and breathe
life into new startups.
While the majority of nations this year
will start Global Entrepreneurship Week on November 15th, some countries
are conducting their celebrations a week or more in advance due to an
important Muslim holiday, Eid al-Adha, falling on November 16th.

William Jack, died ca. 1849
Thank you very much for posting the grave marker for Nancy Jack, wife of William Jack. I believe that her husband William died between 1840 and 1850. He (I presume it was him anyway) shows up in the 1840 census in Sandy Lake Township but not in 1850. Do you have any idea where I could look for him? He's a bit of a mystery to me. Thanks again!

Editor, The Spotlight:
I was very pleased to read at least one Albany County Legislator speak up in support of a reduced-size legislature. In his letter published in The Spotlight of March 5, Legislator Lee Carman expressed his support of the recommendation by the Albany County Charter Reform Committee to reduce the 39-member legislature to 25 members subject to certain conditions which, to me, sound reasonable.
It's now up to the majority party to bring the issue before the public and the full legislature.

YIELD: Serves 8
For crust:
Mix flour, sugar and salt in medium bowl. Add butter and rub in until mixture resembles coarse meal. Whisk yolk and water in small bowl. Add to flour mixture and mix just until dough clumps together. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Cover with plastic wrap and chill 1 hour.
Soften dough slightly at room temperature. Press dough evenly over bottom and up sides 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Trim excess dough and reserve. Freeze crust until firm, about 25 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line crust with foil; fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until sides are set, about 15 minutes. Remove foil and beans. Bake crust until light golden, piercing bottom with fork if crust bubbles and patching with reserved dough if crust cracks, about 10 minutes longer. Cool crust completely on rack.
For filling:
Whisk egg yolks, 2 tablespoons sugar and cornstarch in medium bowl to blend. Bring whipping cream and apple juice concentrate to simmer in heavy medium saucepan. Whisk into yolk mixture. Return mixture to same saucepan and whisk over medium heat until mixture boils and thickens, about 2 minutes. Transfer to bowl and cool. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Store crust at room temperature; refrigerate filling.)
Preheat oven to 375°F. Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add apples and sauté until tender and light golden, about 10 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons sugar; toss until sugar dissolves and apples are glazed, about 3 minutes. Cool until just warm to touch, about 15 minutes.
Spread cream filling over bottom of crust. Arrange apples in concentric circles atop filling. Bake tart 15 minutes. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar; bake until filling is set and apples are glazed, about 10 minutes longer. Serve tart slightly warm or at room temperature.

The Long Life and turbulent times of Sixty Minutes
An insider's view of the most successful show in the history of TV, 60 Minutes.
The most popular TV show in America isn't American Idol, and it's not Survivor. Month in, month out, the most–watched program in America is 60 Minutes, drawing a staggering 25 million viewers in an average week.
For its entire 34–year history, 60 Minutes was the brainchild (and personal fiefdom) of Don Hewitt, the take–no–prisoners visionary who hustled the show into being and kept it afloat with a mixture of chutzpah, tough talk, scheming, and journalistic savvy. But now that Hewitt is 80 and grudgingly considering retirement, the show's direction is increasingly up for grabs, and the transition will surely be marked by some serious fireworks.
As author David Blum provides a fly–on–the–wall perspective on the show's upheavals, he'll also trace its past; although the show has aired some 5,000 pieces and has made household names of Mike Wallace, Ed Bradley, Leslie Stahl, and Morley Safer, much of the backstage story––the passionate pursuit of stories, the behind–the–scenes wrangling, and the stars' prima donnish behavior––has gone untold. With full access to the producers, stars, and executives, Blum will give readers an unprecedented view of the personalities and events that have shaped 60 Minutes – and a new perspective on how current events become news.less

Important 1798 Knob 9 Dollar, NGC Graded Mint State 63, The Eliasberg Specimen1798 $1 Large Eagle MS63 NGC. Ex: Eliasberg. B-6, BB-96. R.3. Die State IV. The 1798 "Knob 9" Dollar is exceedingly difficult to locate in Mint State grades. Here is an opportunity to acquire an MS63 NGC example of this variety, the highest grade given to a "Knob 9" Dollar per the NGC Census Report as of July 2001. This lustrous specimen has a nice medium gray and gold tone with some blue intermixed at the rims. Some adjustment marks are present on the obverse. The reverse is struck slightly off-center, as frequently seen for some unknown reason on this die marriage.
The obverse on this die marriage was first used to strike the rare 1798 B-7, BB-95 variety. After striking 1798 B-6, BB-96, the reverse die was once again used, this time to produce the rare 1798 B-17, BB-101 (a "Pointed 9" variety). The crack that is beginning on the reverse of this specimen at the I of AMERICA will continue to be present on the 1798 B-17, BB-101.
Condition Census: When this piece was cataloged in the April 1997 Eliasberg Sale, the Condition Census was listed as: 63-60-60-55-50-50. One of the MS60 coins was probably the Robison Specimen, called MS60 in Bowers' Silver Dollar book under "Notable Specimens." That piece was offered in a Superior public auction sale in September 1996 as lot 952, where it was graded AU50. Doubtless there are other examples of the 1798 B-6, BB-96 die marriage "out there," but for now this has to be considered as being in the upper portion of the Condition Census for this variety.
Ex: Michael Hering Collection; unknown intermediary or intermediaries; Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. Collection (Bowers and Merena, 4/97), lot 2182. (NGC ID# 24X6, PCGS# 6873)

The French embassy could not verify the claim, which Algerian government sources also said was impossible to confirm in the current circumstances.
Earlier, the APS news agency said 30 Algerian workers had managed to escape from the In Amenas gas field in southeastern Algeria, where the Islamist gunmen, who say they were holding 41 foreigners hostage, are locked in a tense standoff with the Algerian army.
The militants said they seized the hostages, who are known to include US, British, Irish, Norwegian and Japanese citizens, after a deadly dawn attack on Wednesday, in retaliation for French military intervention in northern Mali.
The head of a French catering company said 150 of its Algerian employees were being held at the gas plant but while not being allowed to leave, were free to travel throughout the site.
The gunmen are demanding the release of Islamist extremists in exchange for the hostages and have called for the withdrawal of the Algerian army to allow negotiations to begin.
A Briton, a Japanese and an Irishman, identified as being among the hostages, took turns speaking on Al-Jazeera satellite channel on Thursday to demand the withdrawal of Algerian troops.
Algerian interior minister Dahou Ould Kablia has insisted that Algiers would not negotiate with the "terrorists."

Pigeon Organics (from Organics for Kids) was established by Jane Shepherd in 2004. The aim was to create a high-quality, well-designed childrenswear brand, based on an ethical and transparent supply chain. We remain a small company, passionate about what we do and we love working with a whole network of like-minded people - our partners. We work with local people whenever we can, from the local pattern cutters and textile designers who work on our textile prints, to the local printers who work on our catalogue - most of them a stone's throw away from us. All of these partnerships make our business what it is and result in what we think is a stunning, locally conceived and ethically made collection. Our cotton comes from two Turkish suppliers with whom we work closely, and our entire supply chain - from field to finished product - is carefully monitored as part of our Soil Association organic certification. In an increasingly global economy, we still believe that small can be great.

Aquaculture: Good local water, tasty clams
Quote: "I have wholesalers tell me they will take all of the clams we can get out of that area (the Indian River.) The taste, the appearance, is so much better. I am trying to get more clam farmers there." -- Tom McCrudden, president of Research Aquaculture Inc, a Stuart clam hatchery and nursery that sells clam "seed" statewide.
By Shelley Owens
For Treasure Guide 2013
We associate quahogs with the northeast but Florida clams have been a food staple since before North America was settled. And most people don't realize that some of the best clams come from the Indian River in Sebastian.
"We have very good water quality here," explained Bruno Cristofori, clam farmer and owner of Indian River Clams in Sebastian. The City of Sebastian allows smart development without sacrificing water quality, he said. And that helps a number of local industries, including his.
"I have wholesalers tell me they will buy everything we can get out of that area," said Tom McCrudden, a clam farmer, wholesaler and researcher who grows the infant clam "seed" which is distributed throughout Florida.
"We have such a demand for a better-quality product," McCrudden said. "The taste, the appearance is so much better."
"The Indian River clam farmers go more for quality than for quantity," McCrudden said. And, sometimes, that means a shortage of Indian River clams.
The clam farming industry in Sebastian thrived until 2004, when hurricane Frances wiped out the clam farms, boats, docks and the Sebastian fishing industry in general.
"I'm trying to expand and get more (clam) farmers there (Indian River,)" said McCrudden, who promotes the area and the industry.
Most Florida clams begin their lives in McCrudden's hatchery at the Florida Oceanographic Coastal Center in Stuart. When about the size of a pin head, 30 to 40 million of them go into nursery trays in Port Salerno. When they reach 10 to 15 millimeters, workers at McCrudden's company Research Aquaculture Inc. ship the tiny clams, called "seeds," to clam farmers statewide.
The farmers lease portions of state-owned submerged lands to grow their aquatic crops.
"It takes 12 months to two years to grow a clam," said Cristofori, who harvests little neck and middle neck clams for market when they reach 12 millimeters and up.
Once he pulls them from the river, they are ready to go to restaurants, farmers' markets and seafood markets, he said. Unfortunately, none are available at this writing.
To get top-quality clams, McCrudden is bringing west coast clams over to Sebastian leases for two weeks of Indian River resort living before they go to restaurants. Next year, he and Cristofori hope there will be plenty of clam farmers and Indian River clams to meet the high demand.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 11/18/12
Carmelo Anthony had 26 points and nine rebounds, and the New York Knicks bounced back from their first loss of the season, beating the Indiana Pacers 88-76 on Sunday. JR Smith added 13 points and Raymond Felton had 11 for the Knicks in their only home game in a span of seven games. After falling 105-95 at Memphis on Friday, the Knicks (7-1) go right back on the road to start another three-game trip Tuesday in New Orleans. In a game that was ugly even without Jason Kidd's bad headband style, neither team shot 40 percent, but the Knicks built a big early lead, went up by as much as 20 and were never challenged. Paul George scored 20 points for the Pacers, who remained inept offensively as they played without leading scorer Danny Granger. They hoped they had broken out with an impressive 103-point performance against Dallas on Friday, but managed only 30 first-half points. David West added 14 points in Indiana's sixth straight road loss. The Pacers came in allowing an NBA-low 90.3...

LVM snapshots is one powerful way of taking a consistent backup of your MySQL databases – but did you know that you can now restore directly from a snapshot (and binary logs for point in time recovery) in case of that 'Oops' moment? Let me show you quickly how. This howto assumes that you already […]

MariaDB: Selective binary logs events
In the first post in a series on MariaDB features we find interesting, we begin with selectively skipping replication of binlog events. This feature is available on MariaDB 5.5 and 10. By default when using MySQL's standard replication, all events are logged in the binary log and those binary log events are replicated to all slaves […]
Incremental backups with log archiving for XtraDB
Percona Server 5.6.11-60.3 has introduced a new feature called Log Archiving for XtraDB. This feature makes copies of the old log files before they are overwritten, thus saving all the redo log for a write workload. When log archiving is enabled, it duplicates all redo log writes in a separate set of files in addition […]
Recovery after DROP & CREATE
In a very popular data loss scenario a table is dropped and empty one is created with the same name. This is because mysqldump in many cases generates the "DROP TABLE" instruction before the "CREATE TABLE":
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `actor`;
/*!40101 SET @saved_cs_client = @@character_set_client */;
/*!40101 SET character_set_client = utf8 */;
CREATE TABLE `actor` (
`actor_id` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`first_name` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`last_name` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`last_update` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
PRIMARY KEY (`actor_id`),
KEY `idx_actor_last_name` (`last_name`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=201 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
/*!40101 SET character_set_client = @saved_cs_client */;
If there were no subsequent CREATE TABLE the recovery would be trivial. Index_id of the PRIMARY index of […]
Backing up binary log files with mysqlbinlog
Backing up binary logs are essential part of creating good backup infrastructure as it gives you the possibility for point in time recovery. After restoring a database from backup you have the option to recover changes that happend after taking a backup. The problem with this approach was that you had to do periodic filesystem […]
MySQL Limitations Part 2: The Binary Log
This is the second in a series on what's seriously limiting MySQL in certain circumstances (links: part 1). In the first part, I wrote about single-threaded replication.

Storing MySQL Binary logs on NFS Volume

Why MySQL's binlog-do-db option is dangerous
I see a lot of people filtering replication with binlog-do-db, binlog-ignore-db, replicate-do-db, and replicate-ignore-db. Although there are uses for these, they are dangerous and in my opinion, they are overused. For many cases, there's a safer alternative.
Recovery beyond data restore
Quite frequently I see customers looking at MySQL recovery as on ability to restore data from backup which can be far from being enough to restore the whole system to operating state, especially for complex systems. Instead of looking just at data restore process you better look at the whole process which is required to […]

What You Need to Know about Bank Loans
Answers to four key investor questions about bank loans and the floating-rate funds that invest in them
In Brief
With the prospect of higher interest rates in 2014, including the possibility of an increase in the fed funds rate, investors may have questions about bank loans and the floating rate funds that invest in them, such as:
Why do bank loans offer such a high yield? The relatively high yield of floating-rate funds reflects the below investment-grade credit quality of their bank loan investments.
Why have bank loans historically displayed such low volatility? This reflects the regular three-month resetting of interest rates on underlying bank loans.
How do bank loan rates adjust? The interest rate on bank loans typically is the sum of a credit spread and a reference rate. As these rates move up or down, the rate on bank loans adjusts accordingly.
Why shouldn't investors just wait for short-term interest rates to rise? Investors may have to wait a significant amount of time for the three-month LIBOR rate to rise above 1.0%, the most common floor rate for bank loans today. They may miss out on an attractive income opportunity in the meantime.
The key takeaway—Bank loans and floating-rate funds have retained their attractive qualities in the current market, and they present investors with a potentially attractive income opportunity regardless of when key interest rate benchmarks change.
The appeal of bank loans and, by extension, the floating-rate funds that invest in them, seems simple enough. They appear to combine two highly desirable historical traits: relatively high income and low volatility. The expectation that bank loans will adjust higher in income as interest rates rise, without falling in price like most bonds, would seemingly qualify the asset class as fixed-income's "Holy Grail."
But as the legend of King Arthur shows, the quest for the Grail is never as easy as it seems. Likewise, bank loans are not without their risks, and the adjustment to higher rates may not be exactly what many investors expect. Recognizing those risks and understanding the rate-adjustment process likely can improve investors' comfort with their allocation to bank loans—and their expectations of the performance of the asset class over the next several years.
Here, we'll try to answer some of the key questions investors may have about the asset class, and how it is affected by rising interest rates.
1) Why do bank loans currently offer such a high yield?
According to Morningstar data, at the beginning of March 2014, the average current yield at net asset value (NAV) of the funds in the Morningstar bank loan fund category was 3.69%. The relatively high yield of floating-rate funds reflects the credit quality of their bank loan investments. The loans generally represent senior liens on companies rated below investment grade. Accordingly, an economic slowdown or recession could increase bank loan investors' concern that some companies would be adversely affected.
However, the Federal Reserve, the International Monetary Fund, and most private-sector economists project the U.S. economy to grow, albeit slowly, for the next several years. Consistent with such forecasts are expectations for corporate bankruptcies to remain well below historical averages for 2014 and 2015, according to JP Morgan. That could spell good news for bank loan investors.
2) Why have bank loans historically displayed such low volatility?
The relatively low level of volatility among floating-rate funds reflects the regular three-month resetting of interest rates on underlying bank loans. Because the rate is adjusted regularly every three months, it is almost as if investors regard the maturity of the loan as the reset date, rather than the actual term of the loan; through this lens, the loans offer a maximum maturity of three months.
The upshot is that a floating-rate bank loan generally allows interest-rate volatility to be absorbed by a new coupon or interest rate, not by an adjustment to principal or market value as with longer-dated fixed coupon bonds. That's not a bad design for investors comfortable with the credit risk inherent in the asset class. So instead of the traditional bond mantra "as rates rise, prices fall," it seems that with bank loans, "as rates rise, income rises."
While this view of bank loans is essentially accurate, understanding which rate needs to rise and when the income will adjust will lead to more accurate investor expectations and more appropriate application of bank loans as part of a total portfolio strategy. [Floating-rate loans are lower-rated, higher-yielding instruments, which are subject to increased risk of default and can potentially result in loss of principal. Moreover, the specific collateral used to secure a loan may decline in value or become illiquid, which would adversely affect the loan's value.]
3) How do bank loan rates adjust?
The interest rate on bank loans is typically the sum of a credit spread, which varies with the borrower's credit quality, and a reference rate. The reference rate is generally a short-term interest rate such as the rate on three-month Treasury bills or, most frequently, three-month LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate). As these rates move up or down, the rate on bank loans adjusts accordingly. Because there is nearly 100% correlation between LIBOR and the benchmark fed funds rate, an increase in the fed funds rate is likely to be reflected in LIBOR. (See Chart 1.)
Chart 1. Data Show a Tight Correlation Between LIBOR and the Fed Funds Rate

For illustrative purposes only and does not reflect the performance of any Lord Abbett mutual fund or any particular investment.
However, if other interest rates move, there is not necessarily an adjustment in the bank loan interest rate. A jump in Brazilian interest rates, for example, likely will not affect the short-term benchmark rates upon which U.S. bank loan rates are based. Similarly, a move in yields on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note may not affect the short-term interest rates upon which bank loans are based. This last comparison may be especially relevant later in 2014 if the Fed's tapering of monthly bond purchases results in higher yields on 10-year Treasuries while Fed guidance on short-term interest rates keeps fed funds and LIBOR rates unchanged from their current levels.
Indeed, according to Bloomberg data, if Fed tapering results in a rise in 10-year Treasury yields, from 2.7% in mid- March to 3.7% by year-end, and short-term interest rates remain unchanged, bank loan rates would not adjust higher. Keep in mind that since May 2013, the 10-year Treasury yield has already moved higher by 110 basis points (bps) through mid-March, based on Bloomberg data, without a corresponding increase in short-term interest rates or in bank loan rates.
So the rise in interest rates that would produce a rise in bank loan rates generally means an increase in the most commonly used reference rate, three-month LIBOR, which historically has been highly correlated to Fed funds. But should LIBOR rise, the initial increase may not immediately produce the higher bank loan rates that investors expect. This is because the construction of most bank loans includes a floor benchmark rate that is higher than three-month LIBOR, called a LIBOR floor. The most common LIBOR floor today is about 100 bps, or 1%. This LIBOR floor ensures that investors receive a minimum level of 1% plus the credit spread of the bank loan.
Without the LIBOR floor of 100 bps, over the past year investors would have received an average three-month LIBOR rate of about 0.23% (based on data from Mortgage-x.com) plus the bank loan credit spread, instead of the LIBOR floor of 100 bps, or 1.00%, plus the bank loan spread.
The construction of a LIBOR floor in bank loans allows higher income during periods of low short-term interest rates as well as less interest-rate volatility, especially as short-term rates decline. The corollary, however, is a delay in bank loan rates adjusting to rising short-term interest rates. For example, if the LIBOR floor is 100 bps and LIBOR is 0.25%, or 25 bps, three-month LIBOR will have to adjust at least 75 bps, to more than 1.00%, before the rate on bank loans will increase. Beyond that point, however, every adjustment higher in LIBOR will generally be reflected, point for point, in the bank loan rate. (See Table 1.)

4) Why shouldn't investors just wait for short-term interest rates to rise?
If a key attraction of bank loans is their adjustment feature when short-term interest rates rise, why not wait until LIBOR is at or above the LIBOR floor before investing? While waiting until LIBOR exceeds the bank loan floor will assure investors their income will increase as short-term interest rates or LIBOR move higher, the wait time may be significant—and investors may miss out on an attractive income opportunity in the meantime.
Using the latest projections (December 2013) of the Fed's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), most committee members do not expect the first move to a higher fed funds rate until sometime in 2015. By year-end 2015, the target fed funds rate projected by the 17 FOMC members at that December meeting was slightly more than 1.0% on a weighted-average basis. At that level, three-month LIBOR is likely to be slightly above the 1.0% floor common to many bank loans.
For some investors, this may seem an appropriate entry point to the bank loan asset class in order to capture any further increases in short-term interest rates. But investors who are keeping their powder dry until LIBOR exceeds the 1.0% floor may be missing an opportunity, as the current LIBOR floor structure plus the credit spread still provides a relatively attractive yield.
As we mentioned earlier, the current yield at NAV of the average bank loan fund was 3.69% at the beginning of March 2014, according to Morningstar. Such an income stream, if maintained throughout 2014 and 2015, compares favorably with other fixed-income investments, many that involve substantial interest-rate risk. It is true, however, that the rates on bank loans and floating rate funds, like other fixed-income investments, have declined over the past several years. Yet, the current yield on this asset class remains relatively attractive, helped in part by the floor construct of most bank loans.
So while it may take time for Fed policy to push short-term interest rates and, in turn, bank loan rates higher, investors would still be "paid to wait" for a fixed-income investment that can potentially respond to higher interest rates with a higher coupon payment while at the same time not suffer price erosion as other fixed-income vehicles likely would.
Risks to Consider: Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The value of an investment in fixed-income securities will change as interest rates fluctuate and in response to market movements. As interest rates fall, the prices of debt securities tend to rise. As rates rise, prices tend to fall. Bonds may also be subject to call, credit, liquidity, and general market risks. Longer-term debt securities are usually more sensitive to interest-rate changes; the longer the maturity of a security, the greater the effect a change in interest rates is likely to have on its price. Lower-rated bonds may carry greater risks than higher-rated bonds. Floating-rate loans are lower-rated, higher-yielding instruments, which are subject to increased risk of default and can potentially result in loss of principal. Moreover, the specific collateral used to secure a loan may decline in value or become illiquid, which would adversely affect the loan's value. No investing strategy can overcome all market volatility or guarantee future results.
Treasuries are debt securities issued by the U.S. government and secured by its full faith and credit. Income from Treasury securities is exempt from state and local taxes.
The bank loan market may not perform in a similar manner under similar conditions in the future.
Forecasts and projections are based on current market conditions and are subject to change without notice. Projections should not be considered a guarantee.
Correlation is a statistic that measures the degree of association between two variables.
Coupon is the contractual interest obligation a bond or debenture issuer covenants to pay to its debt holders.
The quoted spread above the reference rate for a bank loan tends to vary based on factors such as issuer credit quality and time to maturity. The spread is an indication of risk, as investors earn a higher rate than the reference rate to compensate them for the risk of holding a security. Loans of lower credit quality tend to have higher spreads above the reference rate.
Yield is the annual interest received from a bond and is typically expressed as a percentage of the bond's market price.
A senior lien is the first lien placed upon property at a time before other liens. A senior lien is higher in priority compared to other liens. It will be paid before other liens are paid.
A basis point is one one-hundredth of a percentage point.
The default rate measures the percentage of issuers in a given asset class that failed to make scheduled interest or principal payments in the prior 12 months. The default rate can also be par-weighted, meaning that it measures the dollar value of defaults (based on par value of issued securities) as a percentage of the overall market.
The London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, is a short-term interest rate that banks charge one another and that is generally representative of the most competitive and current cash rates available. A LIBOR floor is the minimum interest rate on a debt instrument. The floor and the credit spread may comprise the yield on an instrument.
A fund's net asset value (NAV) represents its per-share price. NAV is calculated by dividing a fund's total net assets by its number of shares outstanding.
