Marc Lane provides his insight and expertise regarding L3C opportunties in this researched whitepaper written and published by interSector Partners, L3C. Click here to view the whitepaper. Whitepaper Excerpt:
These are merely a fraction of
the wide spectrum of ideas, fields and structures being created as L3Cs.
According to Marc Lane, a Chicago attorney who has provided legal

provides a space for innovation and new approaches that existing
business and nonprofit models do not: “I think that’s a reflection of the opportunity; it’s there to be shaped. It invites creativity and innovation in deal design and entity design. When you talk to clients about the various ways businesses can be structured, that very conversation sparks reactions in clients. The L3C empowers the client to re-imagine the venture beyond the constraints of the typical corporation, partnership or LLC.” |

While Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn and Comptroller Dan Hynes argued for higher income taxes, every Republican contender vowed to plug the state's massive budget deficit, somewhere north of $12 billion, by relying only on spending cuts and revenue enhancers that would keep the income tax just as it is. |

Is an Ultra-conservative Asset Mix Really the
Answer to a "Fat-Tailed" World?
In response to recent market volatility culminating with 2008's stock market debacle, many of Wall Street's top financial services firms are re-thinking the foundational mathematics upon which their risk models are based. This shift comes from the recognition that some of our most basic assumptions regarding market behavior and risk may somehow be flawed.
