Citizens Bank parent recruits former State Street exec to be its next CFO
The back-and-forth is, to some extent, a reflection of the fact that Boston-based State Street and Providence-based Citizens are by far New England's largest remaining publicly traded banks. State Street is the bigger of the two, though it focuses on services for institutional customers, while Citizens is a general-purpose commercial and consumer bank. Advertisement Citizens chief executive Bruce Van Saun said in a statement that Banerjee is a perfect fit for Citizens because of his leadership experience in financial services and his work overseeing 'transformation optimization programs' in the industry. His arrival comes as Citizens embarks on what Van Saun calls its 'Reimagining the Bank' initiative, aimed at using artificial intelligence to redesign key banking services. Advertisement The announcement comes a few weeks after Barclays posted a brief video interview with Banerjee on LinkedIn. 'My passion really came from a quote which says, 'It's not the fastest or the strongest or the most talented team which wins all the time but the team which always wins is the team that believes it can,' ' Banerjee said in that spot. 'So my passion is to ensure that ... we build that winning spirit in a team.' At the time, he was talking about Barclays. But pretty soon, he'll be putting his team-building skills to work at Citizens. This is an installment of our weekly Bold Types column about the movers and shakers on Boston's business scene.

Eli Lilly and health-care stocks are week's big winners, 3 sectors in the red
Every weekday, the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer releases the Homestretch — an actionable afternoon update, just in time for the last hour of trading on Wall Street. Market update: Stocks are headed lower on Friday, but the S & P 500 is still on pace for a weekly gain of about 1%. This week had some counter-trend components, with value stocks outperforming while more momentum-based companies lagged. Top grade this week : Health care was the best-performing sector this week, and the group was near the top of the leaderboard even before a 13F filing from Berkshire Hathaway revealed that the company had purchased a stake in the beleaguered UnitedHealth Group in the second quarter. Eli Lilly was another large-cap health-care stock that bounced back. The pharma giant had an ugly sell-off last week on disappointing data from its oral GLP-1 trial, but sentiment improved after SEC filings showed a rush of insider buying activity. Also, the company said on Thursday it will increase the list price of its GLP-1 drug Mounjaro for out-of-pocket patients in the United Kingdom. Worst performers : Three sectors posted negative returns this week: Consumer staples, utilities, and technology. The industrials were about flat as of the time of writing. Tech fell as the momentum trade stalled, and the market sold year-to-date winners and rotated into laggards. Utilities declined, but remember, the sector is interest-rate sensitive. When interest rates climb, the group typically underperforms. The weakness in staples was easy to define, as grocery-related stocks like Kroger , Walmart , and Target dropped after Amazon announced a significant expansion to its same-day delivery grocery service. Next week: We're in the part of earnings season when we hear from retail and enterprise software. The retail reports should start to get interesting because they are some of the more tariff-exposed companies in the market, and could struggle to pass on prices to consumers. In total, 14 companies in the S & P 500 are scheduled to report. Within the portfolio, we'll hear from Palo Alto Networks on Monday, Home Depot on Tuesday, and TJX Companies on Wednesday. A few other notable companies reporting are Walmart, Toll Brothers , Target , Lowe's , Intuit , and Workday . On the data side, it's a lighter week with housing starts, weekly jobless claims, and existing home sales. But Fed commentary will be in focus. Next week is the annual Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium and Chair Jerome Powell will give his outlook on Friday at 10 a.m. ET. It's a toss-up if Powell will hint at rate cuts as soon as the Sept. 17 meeting or reiterate his wait-and-see stance. As of mid-day Friday, the probability of a 25-basis-point cut at the September meeting was about 91%. (See here for a full list of the stocks in Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust.)

1 Reason to Buy the Vanguard 500 Index (VFIAX) Index Fund Admiral Shares
Key Points This mutual fund encompasses 500 of America's biggest companies. Investing in it plugs you into most of the U.S. economy. Another way to invest in it is via an exchange-traded fund (ETF). 10 stocks we like better than Vanguard Index Funds - Vanguard S&P 500 ETF › If you're looking for a promising investment, give some consideration to the Vanguard 500 Index (NASDAQMUTFUND: VFIAX) fund. It's an index fund that tracks the S&P 500 index of 500 of America's biggest companies, and that index has averaged annual gains of close to 10% over many decades. A key reason to invest in it is for its diversification, which can reduce your portfolio's risk. Those 500 holdings together represent around 80% of the entire U.S. stock market's value. And they include all of the "Magnificent Seven" stocks, which are Apple, (Google parent) Alphabet, (Facebook parent) Meta Platforms, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla. Investing in this fund is like betting on the future of the American economy. As superinvestor Warren Buffett noted back in his 2015 letter to shareholders, " For 240 years it's been a terrible mistake to bet against America, and now is no time to start. America's golden goose of commerce and innovation will continue to lay more and larger eggs." Here are the fund's recent top holdings: Stock Percent of Fund Nvidia 7.33% Microsoft 7.04% Apple 5.83% 3.94% Meta Platforms 3.05% Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) 2.47% Alphabet Class A 1.95% Berkshire Hathaway Class B (NYSE: BRK.B) 1.70% Tesla 1.69% Alphabet Class C 1.58% Source: as of June 30, 2025. The top 10 holdings together made up about 37% of the whole fund -- because the S&P 500 index is market-cap weighted. That means larger companies will move the needle more than smaller companies. You can buy into the S&P 500 in another way through Vanguard, too -- via its Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT: VOO). It's an exchange-traded fund (ETF) -- a fund that trades like a stock, which can make it easier for many people to invest in it. If you invest in the mutual fund through Vanguard, you may be facing a $3,000 minimum investment requirement, but you can buy into the ETF with just a few dollars -- or hundreds of thousands.
