Capital Guard AU Pty Ltd shares five principles to help Australians focus on capital protection, steady income, and smarter fixed-income investing amid shifting interest rates.

SYDNEY, AU / ACCESS Newswire / August 27, 2025 / With interest rates falling, many Australians are shifting from growth strategies to income and capital protection. Capital Guard AU Pty Ltd, an ASIC-authorised financial services provider, has outlined five principles to guide long-term fixed income investment strategies.

Fixed-income investments such as term deposits, investment bonds, and secure fixed-income bonds are gaining interest for their stability and predictable returns. As bank term deposit rates fluctuate, more investors are reconsidering how to invest in fixed-income with confidence.

1. Capital preservation comes first

Investment bonds and fixed-term deposits help protect capital while generating income. This is especially important in retirement, when recovery from losses is limited. A balanced portfolio can support both access and stability.

2. Plan for long-term income

Short-term rate changes can lead to poor decisions. Strategies like laddered term deposits or staggered bonds help manage reinvestment risk and support income over 10 to 20 years. Long-term fixed income investment strategies tend to hold up better through rate cycles.

3. Understand more than the headline rate

An attractive 6% offer might not tell the full story. Investors need to consider factors like credit quality, lock-in terms, compounding, and early withdrawal penalties. Comparing fixed-term deposit rates and bond yields without these details can lead to poor outcomes.

4. Diversify terms and providers

Relying on one bank, product, or maturity date increases risk. Diversifying across institutions and timeframes helps reduce exposure to rate changes. Combining short-term deposits with medium-term bonds adds flexibility and access.

5. Consider bonds as a strategic alternative

Compared to traditional term deposit account options, bonds can offer stronger yields and flexible access. Capital Guard AU Pty Ltd offers tailored portfolios that include some of the best Australian bond rates and secure fixed-income bonds available today. Term deposits offer better capital protection, but bonds offer yields and flexible access.

Growing interest in fixed-income

More Australians are turning to fixed-income investments for a stable income and capital protection. With term deposit specials and shifting rates, many are seeking to lock in value.

Comparing bank term deposit rates and planning a secure fixed income strategy is key to long-term investing success.

MCLEAN, VA / ACCESS Newswire / August 27, 2025 / Gladstone Land Corporation (NASDAQ:LAND) (“Gladstone Land” or the “Company”) announced that it has completed the sale of a property in Florida (consisting of two farms) for $21.5 million. The sale price represents a 36% premium over the original purchase price 10 years ago, and the investment generated a 13% internal rate of return for the Company.

“This property was acquired as a turn-key investment in 2015 through a purchase from a large landholder in Southwest Florida,” said Brett Smith, Director of the Southeastern U.S. at Gladstone Land. “In June, we received an offer to purchase the property at a compelling valuation and elected to proceed with the sale. Florida remains an important market for us, as we still own over 10,000 acres dedicated to the production of fruit, vegetables, and sod.”

“Our strategy is generally to buy and hold properties for the long term; however, we are willing to listen to offers for our farms if the price is right and we believe it to be in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders,” said David Gladstone, President and CEO of Gladstone Land. “With interest rates remaining high, we continue to explore alternative options with certain of our farms, including some strategic sales.”

About Gladstone Land Corporation:
Founded in 1997, Gladstone Land is a publicly traded real estate investment trust that acquires and owns farmland and farm-related properties located in major agricultural markets in the U.S. The Company, currently owns 148 farms, comprised of over 100,000 acres in 15 different states and over 55,000 acre-feet of water assets in California. Gladstone Land’s farms are predominantly located in regions where its tenants are able to grow fresh produce annual row crops, such as berries and vegetables, which are generally planted and harvested annually. The Company also owns farms growing permanent crops, such as almonds, blueberries, figs, olives, pistachios, and wine grapes, which are generally planted every 20-plus years and harvested annually. Over 30% of the Company’s fresh produce acreage is either organic or in transition to become organic, and nearly 20% of its permanent crop acreage falls into this category. Gladstone Land pays monthly distributions to its stockholders and has paid 150 consecutive monthly cash distributions on its common stock since its initial public offering in January 2013. The current per-share distribution on its common stock is $0.0467 per month, or $0.5604 per year.

Sustained acoustic medicine technology from ZetrOZ Systems will help Patrick Murphy manage soreness and accelerate muscle recovery during his 2,900-mile journey.

TRUMBULL, CT / ACCESS Newswire / August 27, 2025 / A lifelong bicyclist, Patrick Murphy has always wanted to bike across the United States. Now, at age 55, he has decided to chase that dream while also raising money for charity. When Murphy begins his 2,900-mile quest on September 10, he will rely on ZetrOZ Systems‘ sam® wearable ultrasound device to help avoid injury during the 28-day trek.

“Biking across America has been a lifelong dream, and now the time is right to make it happen,” said Murphy. He is raising money for Marion Medical Mission, which provides clean water in rural Africa, and for Kids’ Chance of Michigan, which supports children who have lost a parent in a workplace accident.

Murphy plans to depart from San Diego on September 10, and finish at Tybee Island, Georgia on October 7 – an average of more than 100 miles a day for 28 straight days.

He’s no stranger to long rides, averaging 5,000 miles a year for the last 15 years and completing many races and distance events in his home state of Michigan. To prepare for the cross-country ride, he has been bicycling more than 300 miles per week for months, with the sam® device from ZetrOZ Systems providing invaluable support.

“I’ve been using sam® during training, specifically for my knees, hands, IT bands, and rhomboids,” he said. “It’s been a game-changer, helping me manage soreness, and has given me confidence I’ll be ready for this cross-country ride.”

“It’s inspiring to see Patrick to take on this incredible challenge and support these worthy causes,” said George K. Lewis, president and CEO of ZetrOZ Systems and he inventor of sustained acoustic medicine. “It is immensely gratifying to see know that our sam® device will be supporting him and keeping him strong as he makes his way across America.”

To complete the ride, Murphy not only has to cover an average of 105 miles a day, but also climb an average of 3,700 feet a day – including five days of about 7,000 feet or more. Cyclists know that climbing is the most punishing part of long-distance rides, and Murphy sees sam® as his ally on the journey.

“I hope to use sam® to stay strong, recover efficiently, and prevent injuries during the ride. With the high mileage and daily physical demands, it will help me manage soreness, monitor key areas, and ensure I finish safely and healthy,” he said.

The sam® unit provides continuous, long-duration ultrasound directly to the site of pain or injury in soft tissue, which decreases inflammation while increasing blood vessel diameters to improve blood flow. That augments oxygenated hemoglobin at the site and removes cytokine enzymes and cellular waste, accelerating healing and reducing pain.

The effectiveness of sustained acoustic medicine and the sam® device is validated by more than 30 clinical studies and more than 3.7 million treatments of patients to date.

Murphy looks forward to completing the ride safely and in good health, and offers this guidance to anyone dealing with pain or injury: “Listen to your body, be patient with your recovery, and don’t be afraid to ask for help or use tools that support healing. Pain and injury are part of the journey, but with persistence, proper care, and smart training, you can keep moving toward your goals.”

Murphy will post daily updates on his progress at patrickpedals.com. For more information about ZetrOZ Systems and the sam® wearable ultrasound device, please visit www.zetroz.com or samrecover.com.

About ZetrOZ Systems
ZetrOZ Systems is leading healing innovations in sports medicine, developing wearable bioelectronic devices to deliver sustained acoustic medicine (sam®). Researched and funded by the federal government, ZetrOZ is built on the proprietary medical technology of 48 patents and is the exclusive manufacturer and developer of the sam® product line, designed to treat acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.

By rapidly surfacing overlooked connections and previously unknown evidence, Matey empowers attorneys to build stronger cases – leading to fairer outcomes for defendants and a more just system.

AUSTIN, TEXAS / ACCESS Newswire / August 27, 2025 / Matey, the company bringing precision AI to criminal defense, announced today it has raised $7.5M in seed funding to accelerate its mission of delivering real-world legal AI, built for case strategy, not flashy demos.

Its CrimD platform is already in active use by public defenders, law firms, and government agencies across the country, helping legal teams cut through terabytes of discovery, transcribe and analyze digital evidence, and prepare for trial with confidence.

“We’re not chasing hype. We’re building tools that work under pressure, in court, during investigations, and when lives are on the line.“
– Jared White, Founder & CEO of Matey

Built for the Trenches, Not the Headlines

While much of the legal tech market is cluttered with ChatGPT wrappers and AI vaporware, Matey is delivering results in high-stakes environments where transparency and accuracy are non-negotiable.

“Matey let us process nearly 1 million documents, generate a full timeline, and uncover new witnesses – all in under a day. No other tool could do that.”
– Senior Investigator, Corporate Legal Team

“This has saved us $40,000+ on just one case. It’s letting us increase our case volume without sacrificing quality. That’s a win for our clients and our mission.”
– Deputy Director, Public Defender Office

What the Funding Supports

The seed round will support the expansion of Matey’s product suite, hiring across engineering and go-to-market teams, and deepening relationships with criminal defense organizations, public defenders, and law firms nationwide. Matey also plans to scale partnerships with universities and bar associations to ensure equitable access to its platform for under-resourced defenders.

About Matey

Matey, based in Austin, TX, builds secure, AI-powered legal tools designed for criminal defense. Its flagship product, CrimD, ingests and organizes case discovery, transcribes digital media, analyzes facts, and generates trial-ready outputs, all while meeting the legal industry’s highest standards for confidentiality, traceability, and accuracy.

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK / ACCESS Newswire / August 27, 2025 / doola, the AI Business-in-a-Box™ for global e-commerce entrepreneurs, today announced the launch of its AI Co-Founder, the first intelligent business partner that cuts founders’ back-office work from hours per week to minutes. With this launch, e-commerce entrepreneurs can now get from idea to first sale faster and automate the complex operations of scaling a U.S. business.

Solving the $6 Trillion E-Commerce Paradox

Global e-commerce sales are projected to surpass $6 trillion in 2025. While starting a Shopify or Amazon store takes minutes, running one remains a major hurdle. Founders juggle compliance deadlines, tax filings, banking setup, and bookkeeping, often without local expertise. doola’s AI Co-Founder removes that burden by integrating these functions into one intelligent platform that proactively guides each founder’s next step.

What AI Co-Founder Delivers Today

Unlike generic chatbots, AI Co-Founder is built for e-commerce entrepreneurs and automates tasks that usually drain founders’ time:

• Banking & Payments: Helps founders globally set up U.S. accounts and Shopify Payments quickly.

• Compliance & Filings: Tracks state deadlines and fees, sending reminders before obligations are due.

• Bookkeeping & Accounting: Advises on accounting methods and expense categorization to keep your books clean.

• U.S. Tax Guidance: Explains filing requirements based on a founder’s home country and U.S. business structure.

Arjun Mahadevan, CEO and Founder of doola, said: “E-Commerce entrepreneurs don’t want 10 browser tabs and five service providers. They want one trusted partner who gets it done. AI Co-Founder is that partner; never sleeps and is available 24/7, fluent in 175+ countries’ unique challenges, and getting smarter with every interaction. doola is not a formation service; we’re an AI Business-in-a-Box™ for E-Commerce. Our AI Co-Founder is our first step toward an intelligent, agentic, automated back-office that works for you, so you can focus on what you do best while doola handles the rest.”

Tommy Castellano, CEO and Founder of Kyvo, said: “Running an e-commerce brand is a 24/7 job. doola already saves me hours on bookkeeping, but the new AI Co-Founder is a game-changer. Automating compliance, tax prep and having knowledge at my fingertips means I can get back to focusing on my product and customers.”

Jishnu Bhattacharjee, Managing Director at Nexus Venture Partners, said: “doola’s AI Co-Founder redefines what it means to support global entrepreneurs. It’s not just about offering services – it’s about delivering intelligence, personalization, and peace of mind. doola has built the infrastructure layer for global entrepreneurship. Now they’re adding intelligence and agentic automation.”

Arjun Gandhi, Vice President at Nexus Venture Partners, said: “Founders don’t fail for lack of ambition. They fail because no one shows them the path. AI Co-Founder is the missing guidance layer. By embedding context-aware intelligence directly into the founder journey, doola is building a seamless and personalized experience for starting a company.”

About doola

doola (Y Combinator S20) is the AI Business-in-a-Box™ for global e-commerce entrepreneurs.
