    WBI Investments’ Platform Named ‘Retirement Management Solution Provider of the Year’ – 2026 FinTech Breakthrough Awards

    Advisor technology platform combines behavioral planning, portfolio construction, and automation to serve as an outsourced CIO and COO for wealth advisors.

    RED BANK, NJ, UNITED STATES, March 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — WBI Investments (WBI) today announced that its Cy advisor platform has been named “Retirement Management Solution Provider of the Year” in the 2026 FinTech Breakthrough Awards, recognizing Cy’s innovation in transforming retirement planning into a fully integrated advisor platform that functions as an outsourced CIO and COO for wealth advisors.

    The award was presented as part of the 10th annual FinTech Breakthrough Awards program, conducted by FinTech Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies, and products in the global financial technology market.

    The 2026 program marks the 10th anniversary of the awards, which attracted more than 4,500 nominations from fintech innovators worldwide. After a rigorous evaluation and scoring process conducted by FinTech Breakthrough’s panel of independent industry experts, WBI was selected as the Retirement Management Solution Provider of the Year, joining a distinguished group of winners that includes Mastercard, Intuit, Betterment, Capital One, NerdWallet, Webull, Fiserv, Payoneer, Gusto, Citizens Bank, Moody’s, and Xero, among others.

    WBI’s Cy platform blends the efficiency of advanced technology with the insight of a human advisor to deliver a highly personalized retirement planning and investment experience. The platform translates client goals into actionable investment strategies using planning logic, behavioral finance insights, and institutional portfolio construction tools.

    Cy’s Required Rate of Return framework converts retirement goals into a clear investment target, incorporating time horizon, cash flow needs, taxes, and inflation. The platform also introduces a behavioral dimension through its loss “gut-check” simulator, which exposes clients to realistic historical market drawdowns and identifies the emotional point at which volatility becomes uncomfortable. This insight helps advisors construct portfolios that clients are more likely to maintain through full market cycles.

    Advisors and clients can also use Cy to model historical withdrawal scenarios on demand, demonstrating how proposed retirement income strategies would have performed across real market environments.

    Beyond retirement planning, Cy integrates portfolio construction, operational automation, and investment implementation into a unified platform that effectively functions as an outsourced CIO and COO for wealth advisors. By combining investment strategy, planning tools, and operational infrastructure into a single system, Cy enables advisors to spend more time guiding client decisions and less time managing operational complexity.

    “Cy doesn’t just automate retirement planning—it redefines it by operationalizing it and setting a new standard for how advice is delivered, implemented, and sustained,” said Steve Johansson, Managing Director, FinTech Breakthrough. “Cy combines human guidance with hyper-personalization and full-lifecycle automation so advisors can focus on client decisions rather than operational burden. The result is a solution that reflects both a client’s financial needs and emotional comfort. We’re proud to recognize WBI with ‘Retirement Management Solution Provider of the Year’ for Cy.”

    The FinTech Breakthrough Awards program was founded to recognize innovators, leaders, and visionaries across categories including Digital Banking, Personal Finance, Cryptocurrencies, Lending, Payments, Investments, RegTech, and InsurTech. The 2026 program represents the 10th anniversary of the awards, highlighting a decade of companies transforming financial services through technology.

    “Rather than forcing clients into static models, Cy creates purpose-built portfolios that evolve with life stages, market conditions, and changing goals,” said Don Schreiber, Jr., Founder and Co-CEO at WBI Investments. “We designed Cy to support true customization—blending low-risk and high-risk strategies, traditional and alternative investments, and income and growth sleeves within a single coordinated solution.”

    Schreiber added that the platform continues to expand across the full financial lifecycle.

    “In early Q2 2026, we will introduce new Tax Transition and Estate Planning modules, extending Cy’s ability to help advisors guide clients through tax-efficient portfolio transitions and multi-generational wealth planning. Our goal is to remove friction from the retirement planning process and automate the work behind the scenes so advisors can stay front and center—guiding life decisions instead of pushing paperwork.”

  • Green Fields School Expands Extracurricular Programming, Elevating Student Experience Across All Divisions

    Green Fields School Expands Extracurricular Programming, Elevating Student Experience Across All Divisions

    Green Fields expands extracurriculars with mentorship, events, and experiential learning, strengthening community, leadership, and student engagement.

    TUCSON, AZ, UNITED STATES, March 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Green Fields School is proud to announce a dynamic expansion of its extracurricular programming, further strengthening its commitment to providing a well-rounded, community-centered education. Building on its reputation for academic excellence and individualized learning, the school continues to invest in meaningful experiences that foster connection, creativity, and real-world engagement for students across all grade levels.

    At the heart of this expansion is the newly introduced Helping Buddies Program, a cross-divisional initiative that brings together international students and younger learners in Grades 1–3 for weekly shared reading sessions. This program exemplifies Green Fields’ commitment to both academic development and community building. International students refine their language skills and pronunciation, while elementary students gain valuable reading support in a collaborative, low-pressure environment. The response to the program has been overwhelmingly positive, with students from both groups expressing enthusiasm and requesting additional sessions. More than a literacy initiative, Helping Buddies has quickly become a cornerstone of the school’s culture, reinforcing empathy, mentorship, and meaningful peer-to-peer learning.

    Green Fields has also continued to enhance its tradition of vibrant community events, creating opportunities for students to connect beyond the classroom. This year’s Winter Formal, organized through a collaboration between the Student Council and Parent Association, set a celebratory tone for the semester. With music, games, and a lively dance floor, the event brought together students across divisions in a joyful and inclusive environment. It served not only as a social highlight of the year but also as a reflection of the strong partnerships between students, families, and school leadership.

    Similarly, the annual Fall Potluck once again demonstrated the strength of the Green Fields community. Families, students, and faculty gathered in the school gym to share food, culture, and conversation in a warm and welcoming setting. With contributions from across the school community, the event showcased both diversity and unity. Organized by the Student Council, the potluck continues to be a beloved tradition that highlights student leadership and family engagement while fostering a deep sense of belonging.

    Beyond social programming, Green Fields is expanding opportunities for academic enrichment and creative expression through experiential learning initiatives. Students are actively preparing for the National History Day (NHD) Regional Competition, where interdisciplinary collaboration takes center stage. Art and Design students are currently creating visual backdrops for a student-written play exploring the history of Chinese immigrants in the United States. This production, developed by a diverse group of students including international participants, reflects Green Fields’ emphasis on cultural awareness, historical inquiry, and creative storytelling. The project not only strengthens research and presentation skills but also empowers students to engage with complex social themes in meaningful ways.

    Green Fields students are also benefiting from enhanced access to world-class learning experiences beyond campus. Recently, secondary students attended the 2026 Tucson Gem and Mineral Show, the largest and oldest event of its kind globally. With this year’s theme celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States, students had the opportunity to engage directly with scientific, historical, and cultural exhibits. Experiences like these provide students with tangible connections to their coursework while broadening their global perspective and intellectual curiosity.

    These expanded offerings reflect Green Fields School’s holistic approach to education, where academic rigor is complemented by opportunities for leadership, creativity, and community engagement. By investing in programs that span mentorship, cultural exchange, experiential learning, and student-led initiatives, Green Fields continues to distinguish itself as a school that prioritizes the full development of every student.

    As the school looks ahead, it remains committed to building on this momentum, ensuring that every student has access to experiences that inspire growth, connection, and lifelong learning.

    Advanced Biofuels Canada Supports Expanded Canada-Japan Trade Relationship, Highlighting Low Carbon Marine Fuels

    ABFC’s Presidents Participates in Canada-Japan Roundtable to Support Canada’s Trade Diversification Strategy

    Canada and Japan have a clear opportunity to work together to tackle marine emissions, and low carbon fuels play a critical role.”
    — Fred Ghatala, ABFC President

    TOKYO, JAPAN, March 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Advanced Biofuels Canada Association (ABFC) president Fred Ghatala participated in the ‘Canada-Japan Roundtable on Marine Decarbonization: Aligning Energy Strategy, Ports, and Maritime Transition’ in Tokyo, Japan, March 15-18. ABFC’s participation supports Canada’s trade diversification strategy and highlights the role of low carbon fuels in marine decarbonization. The Roundtable was organized by Global Affairs Canada and Transport Canada.

    The Marine Decarbonization Roundtable brought together representatives from Canadian and Japanese government agencies alongside industry leaders to discuss collaborative strategies to deploy solutions for reducing marine emissions. This engagement reinforces the importance of low carbon fuels as a readily available opportunity for addressing maritime emissions amid expanding trade engagement with Asian markets.

    “Maritime transport underpins global trade, carrying more than 80% of all goods traded worldwide by volume. Canada and Japan have a clear opportunity to work together to tackle marine emissions, and low carbon fuels play a critical role. Low carbon fuels are available today, work with existing engines and infrastructure, and can deliver immediate emissions reductions while other technologies continue to scale,” said Fred Ghatala, President of Advanced Biofuels Canada.

    ABFC strongly supports Prime Minister Mark Carney’s ambitious agenda to diversify and expand Canada’s international trade. ABFC’s participation in the Japan roundtable follows its role in the Team Canada Trade Mission to Mexico, led by Minister Dominic Leblanc alongside Ministers Heath MacDonald and Marc Miller, where the delegation worked to strengthen the Canada–Mexico trade relationship.

    About the Advanced Biofuels Canada Association
    Advanced Biofuels Canada (ABFC) is the national industry voice for producers, distributors, and technology providers for low carbon alternatives to gasoline, diesel, marine, and jet fuels. ABFC members operate over 45 billion litres of low carbon fuel production capacity globally and are significant suppliers to renewable and low carbon fuel programs in Canada and worldwide.

  • JUARA Launches New Hand and Body Washes, Expanding International Spa and Hospitality Presence

    JUARA Launches New Hand and Body Washes, Expanding International Spa and Hospitality Presence

    UARA Skincare, a skincare and wellness company, has introduced two new products designed for both home and hospitality environments.

    NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, March 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — JUARA Skincare, a skincare and wellness company inspired by the traditional Indonesian practice of Jamu, has introduced two new products designed for both home and hospitality environments: the Candlenut Hand and Body Wash and the Tiare Jasmine Hand and Body Wash. This launch reflects the company’s continued expansion into the global wellness and spa space, where thoughtfully formulated bath and body products, such as those from JUARA, are increasingly seen as part of holistic self-care.

    Inspired by centuries-old Indonesian beauty traditions, JUARA blends botanical ingredients and aromatic elements commonly associated with restorative rituals in Southeast Asian wellness culture. In spa environments, these traditions often extend beyond spa treatments themselves to include everyday moments such as handwashing and bathing, which are increasingly designed to feel intentional, calming, and immersive.

    Designed for gentle cleansing and daily hydration, the new hand and body washes are expertly crafted to deliver a refreshing sensory experience that aligns with professional luxury spa environments. The Candlenut Hand and Body Wash features the brand’s signature Candlenut scent, a warm, tropical aroma, while the Tiare Jasmine Hand and Body Wash offers an uplifting, fresh fragrance.

    The introduction of these specific products builds upon JUARA’s already established presence in highly regarded international wellness destinations. The brand’s products are currently featured at exclusive locations, including the renowned Polynesian Day Spa in Rotorua, New Zealand. Furthermore, JUARA maintains a strong and growing footprint across numerous luxury hotels and destination spas in Indonesia, such as the Tugu Resort in Bali and the Inaria Spa at InterContinental Hotel in Jakarta, the very region where the brand’s roots and wellness philosophies originate.

    Beyond spa environments, JUARA continues to expand its sensory offerings through lifestyle products that bring elements of the spa experience into the home. JUARA recently introduced a Candle & Diffuser Set featuring their Joy Candle and Candlenut Reed Diffuser, the latter of which features the same signature scent found in the Candlenut Hand and Body Wash.

    Beyond its product offerings and hospitality presence, JUARA seeks to help individuals cultivate joy and improved well-being through immersive wellness retreats. JUARA’s wellness retreats are hosted in Bali, Indonesia, and are designed to invite self-reflection and mindful connection, offering participants a chance to slow down, engage with traditional practices, and explore the holistic principles that inspire the brand. By combining the restorative power of the island’s environment with thoughtfully guided experiences, JUARA’s retreats encourage a deeper understanding of personal well-being and the rituals that support it.

  • Three Generations, One Mission: Massad Movers Celebrates Over 60 Years Serving Worcester

    Three Generations, One Mission: Massad Movers Celebrates Over 60 Years Serving Worcester

    Massad Movers, Worcester’s longest-running family-owned moving company, reflects on six decades of service.

    We have moved some families three times over the years. Parents, then their kids, now their grandkids. That kind of trust is not something you take lightly.”
    — Philip Massad

    WORCESTER, MA, UNITED STATES, March 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — When Philip Massad founded Massad Movers in Worcester, the city looked very different. The streets were quieter, the moving industry was simpler, and a handshake still meant something. Decades later, the company he built from the ground up has grown into one of Central Massachusetts’s most recognized and trusted names in residential and commercial moving, now proudly led by the third generation of the Massad family.

    Massad Movers has spent over 60 years helping Worcester families, businesses, and individuals navigate one of life’s most stressful transitions. What started as a single truck and a commitment to honest, careful service has grown into a full-service moving operation serving Worcester and the surrounding Central Massachusetts region. Through economic ups and downs, through changes in the city’s neighborhoods and demographics, through shifts in the moving industry itself, Massad Movers has remained a constant presence in the community it calls home.

    “We have moved some families three times over the years,” said Philip Massad. “Parents, then their kids, now their grandkids. That kind of trust is not something you take lightly. It pushes you to keep getting better every single year.”

    The company attributes its longevity to a straightforward philosophy that has never changed across three generations of ownership: treat every customer’s belongings as if they were your own, show up on time, communicate honestly, and never cut corners regardless of the size of the job. A studio apartment move gets the same care and attention as a five-bedroom house. A small business relocation gets the same professionalism as a large commercial project. That consistency is what turns first-time customers into repeat customers, and repeat customers into people who refer their children and grandchildren.

    In an industry where fly-by-night operators and moving scams have become increasingly common across the country, Massad Movers’ six decades of consistent service stand as a meaningful differentiator for Worcester residents looking for a mover they can genuinely trust. The company’s reputation has been built not through advertising alone but through word of mouth, through neighbors telling neighbors, through families recommending them to friends going through a move of their own. In Worcester, the Massad name carries weight that no newcomer to the industry can replicate overnight.

    Over the years, Massad Movers has expanded its services significantly to meet the evolving needs of the community. The company now offers local residential moving, long-distance moving, commercial and office relocation, full-service packing and unpacking, furniture assembly, and specialty item handling for antiques, artwork, and other items requiring extra care. The company has invested continuously in its fleet, equipment, and team training to ensure the same quality of service that built its reputation decades ago is delivered consistently on every job today.

    The third generation now at the helm brings fresh energy and a modern approach to operations while maintaining the core values that Philip Massad established when he first started the business. Technology has been integrated into scheduling, customer communication, and logistics without losing the personal touch that has always set Massad Movers apart from larger, impersonal national chains. Customers still get a real person on the phone. They still get a team that knows Worcester’s streets, its buildings, its neighborhoods, and the quirks of moving in a New England city where winters are real and parking is always an adventure.

    “Worcester is our home,” Massad added. “We are not a national chain that happens to operate here. We were born here, we grew up here, and we have invested in this community for over 60 years. Every move we do is personal to us because this city is personal to us. We are not just moving boxes. We are helping Worcester families start new chapters, and that responsibility means everything to the people on our team.”

    Looking ahead, Massad Movers remains committed to the same mission that has guided the company since its founding. The goal is not simply to survive as a family business in a competitive industry but to continue raising the standard for what Worcester residents should expect when they hire a moving company. With the third generation now leading the way, the company is focused on expanding its reach across Central Massachusetts while deepening its roots in the community that has supported it for more than six decades.

    About Massad Movers
    Massad Movers is a family-owned and operated moving company based in Worcester, Massachusetts.

  • UW Mississauga Unveils a New Brand Partnership Featuring Dreame Silk Pillows

    UW Mississauga Unveils a New Brand Partnership Featuring Dreame Silk Pillows

    UW Mississauga announces a new partnership with Dreame Silk Pillows and explains how the collaboration aims to bring better sleep solutions to more people.

    MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO, CANADA, March 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Ontario, CA — UW Mississauga is pleased to announce a partnership with Dreame Silk Pillows, a company known for its thoughtful approach to sleep comfort and high-quality silk products. The collaboration began in September 2025 and focuses on expanding awareness of Dreame Silk Pillows while helping more people discover the benefits of better sleep.

    Sleep plays a vital role in everyday life. It affects how people think, feel, and perform throughout the day. Because of this, Dreame Silk Pillows focuses on creating carefully designed products that support rest and comfort. By partnering with UW Mississauga, the brand aims to connect with more customers and introduce its silk pillow products to a wider audience across Canada.

    This partnership reflects a shared goal: helping customers experience simple, high-quality products that improve everyday comfort.

    A Shared Focus on Quality and Simplicity

    Dreame Silk Pillows is built on a clear philosophy: better sleep starts with thoughtful design and carefully selected materials. Rather than producing a wide range of products, the company focuses on a curated collection of essentials and ensures each item meets high standards of quality and comfort.

    All Dreame products are made with OEKO-TEX®-certified materials. This certification means the materials meet strict safety standards and are designed to be skin-friendly and reliable. The brand prioritizes comfort and durability, allowing customers to enjoy products that support restful sleep night after night.

    UW Mississauga recognized the value of this approach. The organization focuses on building meaningful connections between brands and communities, making this brand partnership a natural fit.

    By working together, both organizations aim to make Dreame Silk Pillows more accessible while maintaining the brand’s commitment to quality.

    Helping Customers Experience the Difference

    One of the main goals of the partnership is to increase visibility for Dreame Silk Pillows and help customers learn more about the benefits of silk sleep products.

    UW Mississauga plans to introduce the product to new audiences through a range of real‑world experiences that allow customers to see and feel the quality firsthand.

    These initiatives include:

    • Participating in exhibitions and industry trade shows
    • Hosting pop‑up events where customers can explore the products
    • Creating opportunities for customers to experience the materials in person
    • Building partnerships with boutiques, beauty shops, and wellness stores

    In‑person interactions also allow customers to ask questions, compare materials, and understand what makes silk pillow products unique. This hands-on approach helps people make more informed purchasing decisions.

    How UW Mississauga Supports Brand Growth

    UW Mississauga plays an important role in helping growing brands strengthen their connection with customers. Through strategic outreach and trained teams, the organization focuses on building meaningful interactions between brands and communities.

    Within this partnership, UW Mississauga will focus on several areas that support product awareness and long‑term growth:

    • Strengthening retail partnerships across local markets
    • Creating engaging event experiences where customers can interact with products
    • Expanding visibility through face‑to‑face customer engagement
    • Supporting teams with training and product education

    Training and Customer Education

    Education is another important part of the collaboration. UW Mississauga places strong emphasis on training its team to communicate product features and benefits clearly. When customers understand how materials and design contribute to comfort, they are better able to choose products that match their personal needs.

    Team members are trained to explain important aspects of the product, including:
    • The benefits of silk materials for sleep comfort
    • The quality standards behind OEKO‑TEX® certified fabrics
    • How thoughtful product design supports long‑term durability
    • How customers can incorporate silk products into their sleep routine

    This focus on product knowledge helps create more meaningful conversations with customers and ensures visitors receive helpful, accurate information.

    Expanding Opportunities Across Canada

    While the partnership currently focuses on strengthening the brand’s presence in Ontario, both organizations see opportunities for long-term growth across Canada.

    Future plans include expanding into additional markets, including Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, and Winnipeg. Entering these regions would allow Dreame Silk Pillows to reach new communities and introduce more people to the benefits of silk pillow products.

    Growth will also involve continuing to participate in events, strengthening retail partnerships, and expanding the team responsible for representing the brand.

    By building strong relationships with retailers and customers, the partnership aims to drive steady, sustainable growth for Dreame Silk Pillows.

    Why Silk Sleep Products Are Gaining Attention

    In recent years, more consumers have become interested in sleep products that combine comfort with thoughtful material choices. Silk products have gained attention because of their smooth texture, durability, and reputation for providing a gentle surface for skin and hair.

    Many people are beginning to view sleep products as part of a broader wellness routine. Comfortable pillows, breathable materials, and carefully designed sleep environments can all contribute to a more restful night.

    By introducing Dreame Silk Pillows to more customers, the partnership aims to support this growing interest in sleep quality and everyday comfort.

    A Promising Path Forward

    The collaboration between UW Mississauga and Dreame Silk Pillows goes beyond a simple business arrangement. It reflects a long-term vision for expanding access to well-designed sleep products while maintaining a strong focus on quality and customer experience.

    As the brand partnership develops, both organizations plan to introduce additional products designed to meet seasonal needs and evolving customer preferences. These additions will help keep the product line fresh while maintaining the brand’s commitment to comfort and reliability.

    Ongoing training will continue to play a key role in the partnership. By strengthening product knowledge among both office and field teams, UW Mississauga aims to ensure customers receive clear, helpful information when learning about Dreame Silk Pillows. This focus on knowledge, service, and thoughtful growth will guide the next phase of the partnership.

  • Diligence Capital Management Urges Swift Governance and Strategic Changes to Eagle Bancorp’s Board of Directors

    Diligence Capital Management Urges Swift Governance and Strategic Changes to Eagle Bancorp’s Board of Directors

    Diligence Capital attempted to engage with Eagle Bancorp (Nasdaq: EGBN, Bethesda, MD) to enhance its board and adopt four shareholder proposals

    SALT LAKE CITY, UT, UNITED STATES, March 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Today Diligence Capital Management (“Diligence”) submitted an open letter to the Board of Directors of Eagle Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: EGBN; the “Bank” or the “Company”). Beginning in early October 2025, Diligence has engaged with various members of Eagle’s board and management team in an effort to take meaningful and decisive steps to restore the Company to a strong financial institution in a timely fashion.

    James R. Abbott, Chief Investment Officer of Diligence, stated, “We are enthusiastic about the prospects of helping to restore Eagle Bancorp to a strong financial institution; we continue to offer three board candidates that each bring expertise in turning around banks that are experiencing significant commercial real estate challenges.” Abbott continued, “In mid-October, we met with certain members of Eagle Bancorp’s board including then-Chair and CEO Susan Riel. At that time, we proposed to the board that Eagle split its Chair and CEO roles – which is considered best corporate governance practices by many shareholders, and that CEO Riel step down from the CEO seat and replace that position with someone who had extensive experience in rehabilitating banking organizations. In early November 2025, the Board began to pursue such a path by separating the Chair and CEO roles and announcing that Ms. Riel would be retiring in 2026 and that the Company has initiated a professional search for a new CEO. We were encouraged with the quick progress.” Abbott concluded, “However, we are disappointed at a lack of timely adoption of our other proposals such as adding bank turnaround expertise to the Board, expeditiously selecting a new CEO who has bank turnaround experience, and establishing a multi-year performance improvement plan that is clearly articulated to investors and to which a very substantial percentage of compensation for senior executives is tied.”

    In December 2025 Diligence submitted its formal notification to Eagle for an alternative slate of board members to include the aforementioned three new members that have experience in bank turnaround situations. As part of its submission, Diligence recommended a replacement of the newly-elected Chairman, Mr. James A. Soltesz.

Users can quickly locate critical communications, generate accurate reports, and respond to audits, investigations, or legal requests with confidence, all from a single screen.

    The new search function simplifies and streamlines how organizations locate and manage communication data across content sources like email, social, collaboration platforms, and file systems. Users can search across all supported data types simultaneously and view results with clear indication of the source type. Sorting, bulk actions, tagging, and a full range of predicates are fully functional.

    Jatheon’s AI assistant, Liya, is enabled within Unified Search, allowing users to interact with items conversationally and make informed decisions with greater efficiency.
