About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Franklin Templeton Acquires Managed Options Capabilities for Advisors Serving Wealth Management and Institutional Clients

By: via Business Wire

Acquisition of volScout Reinforces Franklin Templeton’s Position as a Top SMA Provider and Enhances Its Custom Solutions Capabilities

Franklin Resources, Inc. [NYSE: BEN], a global investment management organization operating as Franklin Templeton, today announced that it has acquired volScout, an early-stage business delivering managed options strategies to advisors serving wealth management and institutional clients, and has hired its founding partners, Brad Berggren, Jon Orseck and Roger Weber. With this transaction, Franklin Templeton, a leading separately managed account (SMA) provider with approximately $110 billion in SMA assets under management, adds managed options strategies to its comprehensive suite of custom solutions capabilities.

“Managed options strategies are a highly complementary addition to Franklin Templeton’s expanding menu of custom solutions, which advisors increasingly require to address the sophisticated needs of their clients,” said Roger Paradiso, Head of Product Solutions for Franklin Templeton. “Brad, Jon and Roger have a long and successful history of delivering managed options solutions at scale to clients across channels and vehicle types, and bringing aboard such experienced and forward-thinking talent helps fuel our ongoing innovation to anticipate and address evolving client needs.”

The team will operate as the newly formed Franklin Managed Options Strategies, LLC (Franklin MOST), and is the most recent addition to Franklin Templeton’s Product Solutions division, led by Paradiso, which also includes Canvas®, Franklin Templeton’s custom indexing platform.

Franklin MOST strategies will offer rules-based option selection based on volatility and maturity, real-time risk management and systematic market-linked portfolio rebalancing. These features have the potential to enhance portfolio construction by helping advisors and clients manage both the risk and volatility of the overall portfolio, generally without altering its underlying asset allocation. These strategies can have wide-ranging applicability across channels and vehicle types and can be delivered in an SMA format as well as through commingled vehicles and other private fund structures.

“We were drawn to Franklin Templeton for its world-renowned brand and reputation as well as its tremendous global distribution reach across both wealth management and institutional relationships,” said Berggren. “Our team will also benefit from leveraging Franklin Templeton’s global infrastructure to enhance risk management, compliance, operations and technology capabilities. We are excited about the future together.”

Orseck added, “Like Franklin Templeton, we have a client-first focus, an appreciation for risk management and a strong drive for product innovation. We are very excited about the product collaboration opportunities, given the breadth of capabilities that Franklin Templeton offers across its many specialist investment managers, notably in the alternatives space.”

volScout founding partners Berggren, Orseck and Weber have decades of industry experience developing market-leading technology platforms used to manage derivative-based SMAs and funds and have held a number of senior roles in derivatives throughout their long careers.

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. volScout was advised on the transaction by Convergency Partners, a unique advisory and consulting business.

All investments are subject to risk, including possible loss of principal.

Options are not suitable for all investors. Investors must ensure that they have read and understood the current options risk disclosure document before entering any options transactions. In addition, investors should consult with a tax, legal and/or financial advisor prior to contemplating any derivative transactions.
