Major Genesis Financial Shareholder Wayne Blazejczyk Discusses FDCTech’s Acquisition of Genesis

Recently, Genesis Financial made the exciting announcement that FDCTech had acquired the financial services company in a stock-for-stock transaction. As a long-time leader of wealth management and advisory services, FDCTech’s acquisition of Genesis Financial is expected to prove beneficial to FDCTech’s growth as well as thousands of Australian customers. Wayne Blazejczyk, a major shareholder of Genesis, sees the potential of the acquisition and believes it will provide valuable exposure for Genesis and allow them to reach new untapped markets. However, the question remains for many Genesis Financial shareholders, how will the transition change the day-to-day operations of FDCTech and Genesis Financial?

FDCTech Pre-Acquisition

Based in Irvine, California, FDCTech, otherwise known as “FDC,” is a fintech company that offers a full suite of FX and Crypto technology, products, and business solutions. As a fully integrated financial technology company, FDC is known for prime brokerage solutions that enable brokers to boost sales more effectively, access opportunities, and limit unnecessary costs.

Genesis Financial Pre Acquisition

A seasoned wealth management and accounting advisory company, Genesis Financial is well-known throughout Australia for its wealth and investment management solutions, retirement planning, corporate employee benefits solutions, and estate planning. Genesis Financial provides exceptional online and in-person financial programs to consumers of all financial backgrounds. Genesis’s success stems from its ability to connect with its customers, develop a greater understanding of their financial aspirations, and build a tailored program to meet their individual needs.

FDCTech and Genesis Financial Post-Acquisition

According to the terms of LOI, once the acquisition is complete, FDCTech will acquire 100% of the securities of Genesis for a stock-for-stock transaction. At this time, Genesis shareholders will receive restricted shares from FDCTech. In the upcoming weeks, FDC will publicly disclose a variety of necessary information via press releases and/or SEC filings. One of the many reasons FDCTech chose to pursue acquiring Genesis Financial is because of its unique position within the American and Australian financial industry. According to Aite’s (2020) report, it is estimated that 10 million Austrian adults are underserved by the Australian Financial Advisors. In the months following the acquisition, FDCTech software development resources will be added to Genesis’s advisory services. This will not only help Genesis expand into Australia’s Independent Dealer Group business sector, but provide key financial services to under serviced Australian citizens.

Wayne Blazejczyk Discusses Nutrition and After Practice Tips for Australian Field Hockey

An avid fan and coach of the sport, Wayne Blazejczyk has spent many years within the world of field hockey. During his years working as a coach for Letchworth Women’s Hockey Club team, Mr. Blazejczyk has developed several guidelines for his players to keep them at peak performance during the field hockey season. While many games have been put on hold for the 2020 season due to COVID-19, players are still encouraged to stay ‘game ready’ by practicing drills and eating right at home.

Field hockey is a sport that requires not only incredible endurance but also bursts of speed from its players. This amount of cardio and stress on players’ muscles can be taxing. As a result, players must learn to take care of their bodies both on and off the field. One of the first lessons Wayne Blazejczyk gives to new players on his team is the importance of nutrition. Due to the physically demanding and rough nature of the sport, it is recommended that players eat a nutrient-rich diet to help with recovery between practices. This diet should consist primarily of lean proteins to help repair muscle and maintain weight, and carbohydrates to restore a player’s energy. Players are often encouraged after a game to drink milk, an incredible food for recovery due to its high amount of protein and carbohydrates. Another excellent recovery food for after a practice or a game is salmon, a lean protein packed with omega-3 fatty acids that help reduce inflammation.

Whether or not your team is still practicing during COVID, it is much more difficult to get your body back in shape than to keep it ‘game ready’. When applicable, coach Wayne Blazejczyk encourages his players to incorporate a variety of practice workouts into their daily at-home routines. At-home workouts can consist of running 3-5 miles every other day, sprinting every 2 minutes during these runs for 15 seconds, and keeping up on their sets of lunges and squats. These exercises should keep up players’ endurance and grow leg muscle. It is vital for field hockey players to not only possess endurance, but to be quick on their feet; this requires excellent footwork, balance, and agility. Daily at-home practices of grapevine and ladder, using either cones or socks, will hone these skills and keep players at peak performance. Although there is no way of knowing when the pandemic will end or when sports activities can resume as normal, players should take this time to learn responsibility in their solo-practices and to push themselves as individuals.
