GUELPH, Ontario & SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Co-operators, a leading Canadian multi-line insurance and financial services organization, and Guidewire (NYSE: GWRE) announced that Co-operators successfully implemented Guidewire ClaimCenter on Guidewire Cloud Platform to power its claims management functions, adapt to changing market demands, and deliver more value to policyholders.
A Guidewire customer since 2007, Co-operators migrated ClaimCenter to Guidewire Cloud Platform simultaneously for most of its property and casualty (P&C) lines of business in the provinces where it operates. The company also extended its ClaimCenter instance on Guidewire Cloud Platform to its subsidiary Sovereign Insurance. Co-operators previously migrated Guidewire PolicyCenter and Guidewire BillingCenter to Guidewire Cloud Platform in 2023. With the conclusion of this project, the majority of the company's P&C Operations are now a full Guidewire InsuranceSuite customer on Guidewire Cloud Platform.
'This was a multi-year transformation for Co-operators, a successful result of collaboration across our P&C Business and Technology teams and Guidewire,' said Harry Pickett, Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer at Co-operators. 'We leveraged our learnings from our previous PolicyCenter and BillingCenter migration to accomplish this modernization on time and with little disruption to our claims process. The full suite on the Guidewire Cloud Platform provides us with more stability and security, and establishes a solid foundation for future enhancements, enabling us to be faster in implementing new features and capabilities that will deliver value to our stakeholders.'
'We congratulate Co-operators on its successful ClaimCenter implementation project on Guidewire Cloud Platform and concluding its full InsuranceSuite migration,' commented Guidewire Head of Professional Services Michael Mahoney. 'We look forward to working with the company to grow its business and continue providing financial security for Canadians and their communities as it's done for the past 80 years.'

EBC Financial Group Launches Over a 100 U.S. ETF CFDs, Strengthening Diversification for Global Clients

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EBC Financial Group (EBC) has announced the launch of over 100 new U.S.-listed Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) CFDs, expanding its multi-asset product suite and offering global client's deeper access to diversified, thematic trading opportunities. The rollout highlights EBC's ongoing commitment to delivering institutional-grade tools across asset classes, underpinned by flexibility, transparency, and efficiency. The new offering includes ETFs listed on the NYSE and NASDAQ, issued by leading asset managers such as Vanguard, iShares (BlackRock), and State Street Global Advisors. Thematic coverage spans a wide range of global macro and sectoral narratives. 'This expansion reflects our vision to bridge intelligent product design with market relevance,' said David Barrett, CEO of EBC Financial Group (UK) Ltd. 'The new products are a natural evolution for traders seeking targeted exposure with greater strategic flexibility. At EBC, we're building an ecosystem that empowers both precision and performance.' Thematic Access Meets Tactical Flexibility The additional ETF-linked instruments cover a variety of market exposures, including geographic allocations like the iShares MSCI Brazil ETF; fixed income-focused strategies such as the iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond Fund; and sector- or commodity-based indices including the United States Oil Fund LP and the Vanguard Health Care ETF. Other themes include dividend-related baskets, mid-cap equities, and style-based index tracking. These developments reflect wider industry interest in instruments that mirror trends in asset allocation without direct ownership of the underlying securities. Across many markets, sector-tilted and style-based index products are gaining relevance as participants seek flexible ways to align with global narratives. Historically, ETFs tracking specific economic cycles—such as commodity recoveries or emerging market rebounds—have demonstrated performance differentiation. The iShares MSCI Brazil ETF, for example, notably outperformed the S&P 500 during the post-pandemic recovery period in 2021, highlighting how thematic instruments can diverge from broad indices depending on market cycles. These additions serve as both stand-alone trade ideas and complementary instruments alongside EBC's existing product lineup, enabling advanced portfolio structuring and thematic trading. Smarter Exposure: Leverage, Shorting, and Cost Efficiency in One Product Compared to direct ETF investments, it presents several key advantages as traders benefit from a simplified cost structure, with no traditional fund management fees or broker commissions. The flexibility to take both long and short positions allows for strategic trading regardless of market direction, while the use of leverage enhances capital efficiency and return potential. These trades are executed in real time via EBC's recognised platforms, providing seamless access to market opportunities. During key market cycles, for example the post-pandemic V-shaped recovery of 2021—certain thematic ETFs, like the iShares MSCI Brazil ETF, significantly outperformed broader indices such as the S&P 500. Our portfolio enables traders to participate in similar trends, adapting quickly to shifting market dynamics with precision and speed.

Could Roblox Stock Help You Become a Millionaire?

Roblox has built a compelling ecosystem and revenue model around user-created games. The stock has risen more than 160% over the last year. Roblox's millionaire-maker status may come down to its valuation and market cap. 10 stocks we like better than Roblox › Roblox (NYSE: RBLX) has revolutionized video gaming in many respects. Its ecosystem supports user-created games and fosters social interaction to provide an enjoyable user experience. Taking that approach, it built an environment that draws an average of 98 million daily active users (DAUs) as of the first quarter of 2025. Such a value proposition drew investors to the stock during the pandemic's height. Even though the stock price dropped significantly in the 2022 bear market, its recovery has gained momentum over the last year. Amid its returns, investors may begin to wonder whether the stock price growth is such that it can turn small investors into millionaires. Let's take a closer look. Roblox offers a unique twist on video gaming. Namely, it is a gaming company that does not create games. The key to the company's success is its game creation platform, Roblox Studio. Through this, the product's users design the games and share them with the greater Roblox community. Thanks to its growing popularity, its 98 million DAUs increased by 26% over the last year alone. Historically, its following was particularly strong among users younger than the age of 13. That growth has accelerated with the over-13 crowd, and that user base now makes up 62% of total DAUs. Amid its growth, Roblox's business model gives it numerous revenue sources. Specifically, the company earns revenue when users purchase Robux, which is money within the Roblox ecosystem that gamers use to buy special abilities and avatar upgrades, along with clothing, accessories, or other virtual items within games. Outside of the games themselves, other revenue sources include premium subscriptions, digital ads, and fees from royalties that game developers earn from their games. Unfortunately, while the Roblox ecosystem and revenue model sound compelling, the state of Roblox's financials and stock may dash hopes of the stock making investors millionaires. For one, Roblox remains a money loser despite its business model. Indeed, in Q1, its revenue of more than $1 billion rose 29% year over year. However, because of non-cash charges, operating losses have persisted. Its $215 million net loss attributable to common shareholders in Q1 was a relatively modest improvement from the $271 million loss in the year-ago quarter. The company estimates revenue of $4.29 billion to $4.365 billion during 2025. That's a 20% annual increase, indicating that growth is likely to slow down. Additionally, the state of the stock may make it appear less like a millionaire-maker. It surged higher by more than 160% over the last year. Consequently, the market cap now stands at more than $64 billion, placing it firmly in large-cap territory. Despite those gains, the lack of profitability leaves it without a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, and the 16 price-to-sales (P/S) ratio is also its highest sales multiple since early 2022. That means investors are less likely to benefit from a rising valuation, diminishing the stock's potential as a multi-bagger. Ultimately, the state of Roblox's stock and its underlying financials make it unlikely to turn small investors into millionaires. Indeed, Roblox has built a compelling and fast-growing ecosystem. The number of users is likely to continue growing, which should lead to significant revenue growth for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, profitability is likely years away. Additionally, the stock's past increases, valuation, and higher market cap indicate that Roblox has already achieved much of its potential growth. Although the entertainment stock should move higher over time, it will likely take a considerable investment to turn a shareholder into a millionaire at this stage of its development.
