Joint Tax Research Paper Released by Orion Mobility and Global HR News; Offers Cost Saving and Compliance Details for Corporations Relocating Employees

Wilton, CT (PRWEB) January 29, 2008 — What image of comes to mind when you hear the term “stealth relocation”? The witness protection program? Or how the CIA relocates people these days? In reality, however, the term applies to corporate employees that are classified as being on a “temporary assignment” when, in the eyes of the IRS, they have actually fully relocated to the new area. And, with this ambiguous determination comes a raft of tax implications and exposure to unbudgeted costs.

David Oltman, Orion Mobility’s president, recalls that this was THE “hot topic” of the company’s annual relocation seminar for corporate tax and payroll professionals last September. “Just about every Q&A session had an inquiry from the attendees on this topic,” said Oltman. “We thought it was advisable, then, to do some in depth industry research and come up with the White Paper.”

Shortly thereafter, while presenting at the GlobalHR News London Conference last November, Heithaus met with Cohen to discuss areas of mutual interest. The topic of the White Paper came up and they pair realized that GlobalHR News also had a wealth of information on this very subject. The two companies then created an alliance to research draft and finalize the document. In addition to Cohen and Oltman, the article features two other Orion Mobility executives, Peter Fonseca and Quentin Hormel.

“This initiative represents a new method of educating our readers located globally,” said Ed Cohen. In addition to writing about the White Paper in GlobalHR News, globalhrnews.com will also feature it. “I learned from working with Orion Mobility on this project, I enjoyed it and look forward to other topics on which we can collaborate.”

Adds Oltman, “Our goal is to provide up-to-date tax compliance information to corporate managers involved with HR, Payroll, Tax and Relocation because they are charged with accountability for risk and cost management. This White Paper serves to educate and inform on this critical issue and we urge relocation professionals to get updated on this topic immediately.”

Chartwell Launches Global Innovation 30 Folio

Boulder and Colorado Springs, CO (PRWEB) January 20, 2008 - Chartwell Partners Asset Management has launched another folio, called the Global Innovation 30 Folio.

The folio is based on Business Week’s annual feature, The Most Innovative Companies Rankings, which is a collaborative effort with the Boston Consulting Group. The Chartwell Global 30 Innovation folio is managed by Chartwell on FOLIOfn’s online brokerage platform.

The rankings of the top fifty companies are determined through a survey that is sent to the top ten executives at 1,500 largest companies in the world asking them to name the most innovative company outside their own industry group.

There are some surprises on the 2007 list, including four new companies in the top 25 - Disney, Boeing, Genentech, and Cisco Systems. On the other hand, Dell fell from #14 to #22 and 3M fell from # 3 to # 7.

In building and managing the Global Innovation 30 Folio, Chartwell uses a value approach to select 30 publicly-traded companies from the 50 companies in the rankings and then weights them equally in the folio. Currently, nine of the thirty companies in the Global Innovation 30 Folio are headquartered outside of the United States.

“Innovation drives sustained growth and should lead over time to superior returns for the global companies in the Chartwell Global Innovation 30 Folio”, said Carl Delfeld, Managing Director of Chartwell Partners. In addition, Delfeld explained that FOLIOfn was the ideal platform for the folio since it “offers the ability to buy and sell in fractional shares and allows for the rebalancing of the folio in a single, low-cost transaction.”

Greg Vigrass, President of FOLIOfn Institutional, commented, “The Chartwell Global Innovation 30 Folio makes excellent use of the versatility and power of the FOLIOfn platform. We are pleased that Chartwell has launched this innovative new investment product and look forward to the continued success of their offering.”

The Global Innovation 30 Folio will join the other folios that are available to investors through Chartwell Partners on the FOLIOfn platform.
These are the:

Core Conservative ETFfolio
Fixed Income ETFfolio
Global Dividend/Income ETFfolio
World Economic Freedom ETFfolio
Country Rotation ETFfolio
Momentum Country Rotation ETFfolio
Value Country Rotation ETFfolio
Global Sector Rotation ETFfolio
Global Growth ETFfolio
Emerging Markets ETFfolio
Asia-Pacific ETFfolio
China Strategy ETFfolio
Global Long/Short Strategy ETFfolio

Chartwell uses these folios as building blocks to develop custom global portfolios for investors using a core/satellite strategy. The ETFfolios are also available to investment advisors on a sub-advisory basis. Delfeld is a columnist for Forbes Asia, editor of ChartwellETF.com and author of “Think Global, Grow Rich”, “The New Global Investor” and “ETF Investing Around the World”.
