ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 3, 2024-- Angel Oak Financial Strategies Income Term Trust (the “Fund”), a closed-end fund traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol FINS, today declared a distribution of $0.109 per share for the month of December 2024. The record date for the distribution is December 17, 2024, and the payable date is December 31, 2024. The Fund will trade ex-distribution on December 17, 2024. The Fund seeks to pay a distribution at a rate that reflects net investment income actually earned. A portion of each distribution may be treated as paid from sources other than net investment income, including but not limited to short-term capital gain, long-term capital gain, or return of capital. As required by Section 19(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, a notice will be distributed to shareholders in the event that a portion of a monthly distribution is derived from sources other than undistributed net investment income. The final determination of the source and tax characteristics of these distributions will depend upon the Fund’s investment experience during its fiscal year and will be made after the Fund’s year end. The Fund will send to investors a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will define how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes. Angel Oak does not provide tax advice; shareholders should consult their tax advisor. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect a fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” ABOUT FINS Led by Angel Oak’s experienced financial services team, FINS invests predominantly in U.S. financial sector debt as well as selective opportunities across financial sector preferred and common equity. Under normal circumstances, at least 50% of FINS’ portfolio is publicly rated investment grade or, if unrated, judged to be of investment grade quality by Angel Oak.

China's economy braves the wind and the waves and sails steadily into the futurePersonalisation and humanisation have emerged as the two fundamental pillars that underpin a successful customer experience (CX) strategy. As retailers strive to create memorable and engaging experiences for their customers, understanding the core elements that contribute to effective personalisation has become increasingly crucial. This is especially critical as retailers now enter into peak shopping season globally, with the likes of Black Friday and the festive season approaching. Core elements of successful personalisation Personalisation within CX begins with a deep understanding of the customer. It's essential for retailers to identify who the customer is, their preferences, and their behaviours. This foundational knowledge allows them to tailor their services and offerings to meet individual needs effectively. However, personalisation is not just about knowing the customer; it's also about ensuring consistency across all channels. This omnichannel approach means that whether a customer interacts with a website, a social media page, or a mobile app, the experience remains seamless and uniform. The digital and physical CX should mirror each other, reinforcing the brand persona and values at every touchpoint. Another critical aspect is customer support.

One of the promises of the next era of generative AI is that the technology will be agentic, or have the ability to perform tasks autonomously on behalf of us chaotic humans. That means AI agents will theoretically be able to "reason" about the next steps they should take, allowing them to execute multiple actions from a single query. The possibilities are endless, if you believe the hype—think maximum efficiency and productivity, plus a host of other buzz word-laden phrases that one might hear during a tech giant's quarterly earnings call. All I want AI to do for me, however, is to shop. I understand that some people find shopping to be a pleasurable act, but the options overwhelm me, whether I'm in an actual store or stuck in an endless scroll. In the lead up to the December holidays, the pressure mounts even more: How do you convey to someone exactly how much you've appreciated them this year—all the years—and capture that appreciation in something more thoughtful than a soy wax candle? I was ready to let AI take the wheel. Over the last few weeks, I've... Lauren Goode
