State Street and UC Investments Forge Strategic Alliance to Expand Access to Wealth Building Tools for Individuals
The initiative will combine the latest investment technologies and artificial intelligence to give individuals direct access to a broader spectrum of investment opportunities, including private markets. It also seeks to enhance financial literacy and deliver highly personalized, digitally enabled investment experiences through a new 'superapp' – a single platform with multiple investment management services – that will be offered to the 353,000 participants in UC's defined contribution plan. Over time, the program may extend to UC's broader community, including nearly 300,000 students and more than two million living alumni.
'This alliance strengthens our enduring relationship with UC Investments,' said Ron O'Hanley, chairman and chief executive officer of State Street. 'It reflects our mutual commitment to harnessing technology and innovation to enhance financial outcomes for individual investors and their families, leveraging State Street's investment and wealth services capabilities.'
State Street is the world's fourth-largest asset manager, with nearly $5 trillion in assets under management, of which over $1.1 trillion are investment products for individuals and their wealth advisors. In addition, State Street provides investment software platforms and services to wealth managers serving individual investors around the world. State Street has partnered with UC Investments for more than two decades. Today, State Street manages $110 billion of UC Investments' $193 billion portfolio across pension, endowment, and other assets and provides custody and other investment services for most of its portfolio.
For UC Investments, the initiative reflects a deepening commitment to financial inclusion. It builds on a 2024 milestone that opened the Blue & Gold Endowment Pool – the same fund in which the institution invests – to individual retirement savers. In 2017, UC and State Street collaborated to introduce Deferred Lifetime Income, an optional annuity solution for UC Retirement Savings Plan participants.
'We're proud to expand our partnership with State Street to deliver the kinds of insights, tools, and investment access that have historically been reserved for large institutions or ultra-wealthy investors,' said Jagdeep Singh Bachher, chief investment officer for the University of California. 'Our goal is to help every UC community member take control of their financial future – using AI, data, and design to build a long-term plan for wealth and security.'
The initiative will reimagine the investor experience with a digitally enabled, AI-powered platform that simplifies access to private markets, enhances financial literacy, and supports personalized financial planning. By putting powerful wealth-building tools into the hands of individuals, UC Investments and State Street aim to fundamentally reshape how people engage with their financial futures.

Oracle Corporation (ORCL): People Are Buying For Something They Shouldn't Be, Says Jim Cramer
We recently published . Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed. Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) is a hardware and software computing resources provider. The firm enables businesses to conduct their daily operations through its software, and it also provides hardware computing resources to the AI industry. Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL)'s shares jumped by 3.9% on Monday after the firm announced a major cloud contract through an SEC filing. Cramer commented on the development: 'So Safra Catz this morning, the CEO of Oracle, comes out this morning and says things are even better than you think. So here's a stock that is up 14, that's not trading with the Fed, that's trading with Oracle having a new business model from 110 to 223. That's of great interest to many of our viewers because they made a lot of money. A team of IT professionals meticulously crafting a large-scale enterprise performance management system. Cramer also discussed the stock later in the day. Here's what he said on Mad Money: 'Right now, for example, we're seeing billions of dollars worth of orders for data centers to be built by Oracle. We already knew that Oracle was doing well, but it just put out a press release today, saying it's doing even better. So what happens? The stock goes from $118 to $218… in a couple of months' time, then it keeps going higher. What matters is that the fundamentals are terrific, and as long as they stay terrific, well, the younger people would keep buying the stock.' While we acknowledge the potential of ORCL as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

What's open & what's closed on the 4th of July 2025
Fast Facts: In 2025, July 4th falls on a major businesses, including nationwide and regional grocery and retail stores (e.g., Best Buy, Home Depot, Target, Walmart, etc.), will be will be state and city governments, post offices, banks, and libraries will be closed. Financial markets like the NYSE and Nasdaq will be closed.A record number of Americans are forecast to travel during the holiday period. This year marks the 249th year of America's independence, and this time around, the Fourth of July falls on a Friday, giving many a true, three-day weekend to celebrate. Many businesses, government offices, and financial markets will be closed as Americans take the day off and mark the summer season with barbecues and outdoor activities. As with every federal holiday, there is always some confusion about what will be closed and what will remain open. People who work in an office generally have the Fourth of July off to spend with their families. But consumer-facing businesses often choose how and when to operate-smaller shops may close entirely, while large chains often shoulder the costs of employee holiday pay to remain open, either for their typical hours or for reduced holiday hours. Here's everything you need to know about what's open and what's closed this Independence Day. Related: The best gas grills under $250, ranked by Consumer Reports data As a federal holiday, public and private institutions-including schools, post offices, libraries, and federal offices-are typically closed. Financial markets will also be closed, and there will be no trading on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq stock market. Cryptocurrency will still be tradable. USPS mail will not be delivered to homes and businesses. But shipping companies such as UPS and FedEx will keep at least some hours-check with your local office before heading over, and keep in mind that anything you may need to send is likely to take longer. The Federal Reserve observes the holiday, and as almost all banks will be shuttered, any last-minute cash needs will likely require an ATM (most will be functioning, but if there is a problem, reaching a staff member may not be possible).

In most cities, trash collection will move to the following workday. In terms of retail, big-box warehouse club Costco will be closed, although most other large retailers will remain open.

Other food retailers, such as Walmart and Target, will remain open, but some locations may have shorter operating hours. As the schedule is set by each store, it's best to look up your local branch's hours online or call ahead to ask a representative. Be sure to get there early to get what you need for your picnic or barbecue, as there might be a run on popular items like hot dog buns. As Americans take to the streets in towns and cities that have parades, small businesses such as restaurants and bars are likely to be open. Other retailers & restaurants that are open on Independence Day Those with special projects at home will be glad to know that home improvement retailers Home Depot and Lowe's will be open during normal business hours. Other large retailers such as Best Buy will also be open and amping up the holiday marketing with decorations and Fourth-of-July sales and promotions. To reach those hungry and thirsty crowds, most national food chains, including Starbucks, McDonald's, Wendy's, and Taco Bell, will be open in major cities but may be short-staffed in smaller towns. The larger the chain, the more likely it is to remain open as well as to keep normal hours. Public transportation will be available in most major cities and suburbs but may be running on a special holiday schedule (often the same as a typical Sunday schedule). Wherever the holiday takes you, it's a good idea to check for closures or abbreviated hours (and leave more time for travel) to be safe.

That being said, it's also a big travel holiday. Authorities are expecting a record-breaking period of travel as the holiday falls on a Friday, giving many Americans the opportunity to plan their trips around the extended weekend holiday. Altogether, a record 72.2 million Americans are forecast to travel at least 50 miles from their home from June 28 to July 6, and the overwhelming majority-61.6 million people-would travel by car, according to the Automobile Association of America (AAA). The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has its own forecast, and it estimates screening more than 18.5 million travelers across the nation's airport security checkpoints from July 1 through July 7. About 2.9 million people are expected to be screened on Sunday, July 6, alone. Travel advisory Americans are cautioned about potential terrorist threats within the country due to tensions with Iran. The Department of Homeland Security on June 22 issued an advisory, saying that "the ongoing Iran conflict is causing a heightened threat environment in the United States," and it is in effect until September 22, 2025.
