Gov. Holcomb Announces Members Of Next Level Indiana Trust Fund Investment Board

0

Governor Eric J. Holcomb today announced members of the investment board for the newly created Next Level Indiana Trust Fund. The fund was a key component of Gov. Holcomb’s 2017 Next Level legislative agenda. Members of the board will adopt an investment policy to guide how the funds are deployed to best diversify and grow the state’s economy.

The Next Level Fund replaces the Next Generation Trust Fund, which was created as a part of the lease of the Indiana Toll Road in 2006. The fund includes approximately $500 million; up to $250 million of the total fund can be used for Next Level investments.

“The Next Level Trust Fund will build upon Indiana’s developing venture community and support increased entrepreneurship and innovation in our state,” Gov. Holcomb said. “Those selected to serve on the investment board for this fund will provide valuable insight and expertise to ensure we leverage and get the greatest possible benefit from these funds.”

Legislation approved by the Indiana General Assembly earlier this year established five members of the Next Level Indiana Trust Fund Investment Board: the state’s secretary of commerce or designee, who will serve as the board’s chair; the director of the office of management and budget; the state treasurer; and two governor appointees with experience and knowledge in investments.

The governor has appointed Cynthia Lucchese, chief administrative and financial officer for Hulman & Company in Indianapolis, and Bill Godfrey, former co-founder, chair and chief executive officer of the software marketing company Aprimo, which was sold in 2010, and current managing director of 4G Ventures in Carmel, to the board. They will join Elaine Bedel, president of Indiana Economic Development Corporation, who will serve as the Secretary of Commerce’s designee and chair the board. Micah Vincent, director of the Office of Management and Budget, and Kelly Mitchell, Indiana’s treasurer, are the other voting members.

Additionally, the governor signed Executive Order 17-18 that creates two nonvoting advisory positions on the board, and he announced his appointments:

  • State Sen. Luke Kenley (R-Noblesville) will serve as the governor’s at-large advisory member.
  • State Rep. Tim Brown (R-Crawfordsville) will serve as the governor’s advisory appointment from the Indiana General Assembly.

The Next Level Indiana Trust Fund was established by the Indiana Finance Authority as a charitable trust that operates separately from the state of Indiana. The board acts as the trustee for the fund and will adopt an investment policy to guide Next Level Fund investments.

The board will meet for the first time tomorrow in Indianapolis. Details of the meeting are available at www.in.gov/ifa/2347.htm.

Adopt A Pet

Mimi is a female American Bulldog. She’s approximately 5 years old. She, Gigi, and Gilly were recently rescued from a sad situation in Illinois where they were living outdoors with no shelter around the clock. A family member from a different household went to care for them when she could, but she needed help and called VHS. Mimi is heartworm-positive, but that’s okay – her $300+ treatment is included in her $100 adoption fee, along with her spay, microchip, and vaccines.

Ellis Park Live-Money Tourney Aug. 20: ‘Value Is Obvious’ 

0
With 4 seats awarded to National Horseplayers Championship, no track cut,  
Tournament has ‘one of most player-friendly prize structures of any contest’
  One of the fundamental principles for serious horseplayers is finding value. And you won’t find many tournaments that offer competitors the value of the Aug. 20 live-money Bluegrass Tournament at Ellis Park, whose top four finishers earn trips to handicapping’s most prestigious competition.
“Yay! Ellis is back in the fold. With (track owner) Ron Geary, they’ve always been a great host,” said Judy Wagner, the First Lady of handicapping tournaments and winner of the 2001 National Handicapping Championship, now known as the National Horseplayers Championship. “This contest is very player-friendly, with absolutely no takeout from the players’ live bankroll. Nothing is coming on the backs of the players.”
Entry fee to participate is $500, of which $200 goes toward prize money, with Ellis Park and contest administrator AmWager taking no money out. The remaining $300 is the player’s live bankroll, with participants keeping any money they make or have left at the end of the tournament. In addition, the top four finishers will earn a berth in the 2018 National Horseplayers Championship in February in Las Vegas, along with hotel room at tournament site Treasure Island Hotel & Casino and airfare up to $500. The NHC winner also is honored with the Eclipse Award as North America’s champion handicapper.
“With a generous 100-percent payback of the prize pool and four NHC seats offered on top of that, The Bluegrass Tournament at Ellis Park carries one of the most player-friendly prize structures of any contest in North America,” said Eric Wing, communications director at HorseTourneys and longtime emcee of the National Horseplayers Championship. “It’s a great opportunity to win significant cash and qualify for the NHC — and to do so for a very modest outlay.”
Joe Kristufek is the paddock analyst at Ellis Park, Churchill Downs and Kentucky Downs and a leading voice in educating the public about betting horses. He has been involved in past NHC competitions and says players often make decisions on where they play based on the tournament structure.
“For tournament regulars targeting a spot in the NHC, the value is obvious, but local horseplayers with limited contest experience should not be intimidated,” Kristufek said. “If you’re going to play the races at Ellis anyway, you might as well jump into the tournament. If bankroll is an issue, team up with some friends to offset the cost. It’s so much fun, and four trips to Vegas to play in the biggest contest of all are on the line.”
The tournament, to be held in Ellis’ Gardenia Room on the second floor of the clubhouse, will involve betting a minimum of $20 (win, place, exacta or daily double) on each of 10 races that players select from Ellis’ card and optional races. The $75,000 Ellis Park Juvenile and Debutante Stakes will be mandatory races. The tournament is capped at 150 entries, with players allowed to have up to two entries.
Registration, rules and more information are available at www.amwager.com/bluegrasstournament. Advance registration is highly encouraged, though participants can sign up at the track the morning of the tournament.
Feeder tournaments providing their winners with the $500 entry fee are being staged at horsetourneys.com.
The National Horseplayers Championship and the NHC Tour are owned and operated by the National Thoroughbred Racing Association. Participants in the Bluegrass Tournament must be members of the NHC Tour in order to earn a qualifying spot for the NHC in Vegas. NHC Tour membership costs $50 per year and can be obtained through ntra.com/nhc.
The Bluegrass Tournament will be run by AmWager and its parent company AmWest Entertainment, a diversified account-wagering and international simulcast services company based in Prospect, Ky.
