Introducing the Simplify Government Money Market ETF (SBIL)
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Simplify Asset Management ('Simplify'), a leading provider of Exchange Traded Funds ('ETFs'), today announced a further expansion of its lineup of income-focused ETFs with the launch of the Simplify Government Money Market ETF (SBIL). 'We're excited to expand our product lineup with a cash-equivalent solution that aligns with the marketplace's ongoing demand for income and stability of principal,' David Berns, Chief Investment Officer and Co-Founder of Simplify. Share SBIL seeks current income consistent with liquidity and stability of principal by investing at least 99.5% of its assets in cash, U.S. Government securities, and repurchase agreements fully collateralized by such obligations or cash. The fund maintains a portfolio dollar-weighted average maturity of 60 days or less and a dollar-weighted average life of 120 days or less. The fund is a true money market fund, in an ETF wrapper, and can be considered a 'cash' position of particular use for those investors seeking the stability of a money market fund. 'We're excited to expand our product lineup with a cash-equivalent solution that aligns with the marketplace's ongoing demand for income and stability of principal,' said David Berns, Chief Investment Officer and Co-Founder of Simplify. 'We're also excited about how we have constructed SBIL as a Rule 2a-7 compliant holding, making this ETF potentially appealing for institutional investors as well, who may find utility in holding a low-cost government money market fund in the convenient ETF format.' As alluded to above, SBIL operates as a government money market fund pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Although SBIL is a money market fund, it will have a floating net asset value and share price. For more information on the Simplify Government Money Market ETF (SBIL), visit ABOUT SIMPLIFY ASSET MANAGEMENT INC Simplify Asset Management Inc. is a Registered Investment Adviser founded in 2020 to help advisors tackle the most pressing portfolio challenges with an innovative set of options-based strategies. By accounting for real-world investor needs and market behavior, along with the non-linear power of options, our strategies allow for the tailored portfolio outcomes for which clients are looking. For more information, visit GLOSSARY: Rule 2a-7: The principal rule governing money market funds. Currently, the rule requires that immediately after the acquisition of an asset, a money market fund must hold at least 10% of its total assets in daily liquid assets and at least 30% of its total assets in weekly liquid assets. IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) before investing. To obtain an ETF's prospectus containing this and other important information, please call (855) 772-8488, or visit Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest. An investment in the fund involves risk, including possible loss of principal. The fund is actively managed and is subject to the risk that the strategy may not produce the intended results. The fund is new and has a limited operating history to evaluate. Although the Fund will seek to continue to qualify as a 'government money market fund,' it will not seek to maintain a stable net asset value ('NAV') per share using the amortized cost or penny rounding method of valuation. Instead, the Fund will calculate its NAV per share based on the market value of its investments. In addition, unlike a traditional money market fund, the Fund operates as an exchange-traded fund ('ETF'). As an ETF, the Fund's shares will be traded on NYSE Arca, Inc. ('NYSE Arca') and will generally fluctuate in accordance with changes in NAV per share as well as the relative supply of, and demand for, shares on NYSE Arca. You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Interest Rate Risk: Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a debt security may fall when interest rates rise. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will go down more in response to changes in interest rates than the market price of shorter-term securities. Due to fluctuations in interest rates, the market value of such securities may vary during the period shareholders own shares of the Fund. U.S. Treasury Market Risk: Direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury have historically involved little risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. However, due to fluctuations in interest rates, the market value of such securities may vary during the period shareholders own shares of the Fund. U.S. Government Obligations Risk. Securities issued by certain U.S. Government agencies and U.S. government-sponsored enterprises are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government or supported by the full faith and credit of the United States.

This 2-in-1 Laptop Is a Dream for Creatives and Prime Day Has It Slashed by Up to $450
For creative professionals, a versatile laptop that supports the right software and technology is essential. But not all laptops are created equal, nor do they rise to the occasion. The great news is that with Prime Day dropping prices left and right, tons of laptops are on sale. Among them is one that Cesar Cadenas, a writer for our sibling site ZDNET, called "ultraportable" and " a dream for creative professionals" in his review. The 16-inch LG Gram Pro 2-in-1 16GB/1TB is currently just $1,697 on Amazon right now. With an original list price of $2,100, that's $403 off. And if you want the 32GB/2TB version, it's currently $2,100, which is $450 off. 16-inch LG Gram Pro 2-in-1 laptop 16GB: $1,697 (Original price: $2,100) See at Amazon Designed to be used as either a tablet or laptop, it weighs in at just over 3 pounds and, when closed, is only about half an inch thick. That makes this an excellent laptop for travel, commute, remote work and in-person meetings and presentations. It also has a flexible hinge that allows you to configure it depending on how you want to use it. Essentially, the hinge takes the generous 16-inch display back so it can be used like a tablet, or it can be propped up. The laptop has an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and hybrid AI solutions. Though both models come with quite a bit of storage, you also get an excellent experience with cloud-based software, including advanced AI performance. The battery boasts up to 19 hours on a single charge, giving iPads and MacBook Airs a run for their money. A stylus is also included with your purchase. Cardenas writes, "It doesn't require Bluetooth. All you have to do is attach it to the hidden magnet on the right side, give it a few seconds, and the pen will connect to the LG Gram." That's also how you charge the stylus. Unless you're dead set on an M4 MacBook Pro, the LG Gram Pro makes a great, lightweight and incredibly versatile laptop solution. It has big storage capability and a generously sized screen, and it's pretty much brand new this year. Finding a laptop like this discounted is rare, and whether you opt to save $400 or $450, you're getting a great deal.

3 Big Numbers: How is 7-Eleven's turnaround going?
This story was originally published on C-Store Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily C-Store Dive newsletter. 3 Big Numbers is a weekly column that looks at a few key details from around the c-store industry. Seven & i Holdings, the Japanese company that owns 7-Eleven, has been having a rough time lately. Concerns about the company's overall performance have led to disgruntled shareholders putting pressure on leaders to either make big changes or consider Alimentation Couche-Tard's bid to buy it out. Seven & i has taken some drastic steps this year, including naming its first non-Japanese CEO in Stephen Dacus and planning to take its North American arm, 7-Eleven Inc., public in 2026. Amid all this, the company has outlined a number of goals, including cutting costs and boosting foodservice, delivery and private label sales. In this week's '3 Big Numbers,' we look at three areas where 7-Eleven has made progress on its long-term plans in North America. 7-Eleven's Q1 operating income. Operating income for 7-Eleven grew from $201 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 to $245 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2025, according to Seven & i's earnings presentation. That's more than a 20% increase. Challenges persisted, however, as same-store sales were down 1%. But the growth came largely from increased merchandise gross product margins and a small decrease in non-production costs, such as administrative salaries or rents. Let's set aside the margin increase for a moment and focus on the cost savings. 7-Eleven targeted $500 million in cost savings last year and managed to surpass that by cutting spending by $562 million during fiscal 2024. The focus on fiscal discipline is continuing into this year, with the company looking to make further cuts ahead of the proposed 2026 IPO. The number of 7-Eleven stores where food and beverage programs were modernized in Q1. 7-Eleven's foot traffic was down 6% in Q1 year over year, according to the earnings presentation. While that's never great, 7-Eleven was able to offset this drop in a couple ways. First, its average basket size in the first quarter was up 5.3%. Second, the company boosted its gross product margins by 1.1% in the quarter. While these margin gains came from multiple areas, they were mainly a result of the company's focus on growing proprietary products. It saw better margins from fresh food and private label goods. The company has rolled out modernized food and beverage programs to 435 sites so far in fiscal 2025. While the rollout is expected to slow for the rest of the year, 7-Eleven is expected to modernize the offering in another 1,000 stores. This modernization includes adding hot grab-and-go cases as well as racks of bakery items. Private label plus updated coffee programs and an expansion in the number of stores that include restaurants show that whether or not it works, 7-Eleven is remaining focused on improving its reputation among food-seeking patrons. The year-over-year increase in same-store delivery sales for 7-Eleven in Q1. 7-Eleven only added delivery to 74 stores during the quarter, but that's understandable when delivery is already available in over half of the company's locations. What's more interesting is the increasing use of delivery at stores that have already had it for a while. Same-store delivery sales — that is, sales growth among stores that already had delivery during fiscal Q1 in 2024 — were up over 18% year over year. The average basket size for these orders was more than $15. If 7-Eleven can keep growing these sales, or even just maintaining these basket sizes white the number of stores offering delivery grows, the incremental sales will have an even bigger impact on the bottom line.
