Energy ministers meeting in Brussels voted unanimously today (May 30) for the EU to officially withdraw the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) while leaving open the possibility for member states to remain in their own capacity. Deciding on the bloc's future in the ECT was one of the commitments of the EU Belgian Presidency, the country’s energy minister Tinne Van Der Straeten told reporters today shortly before joining her counterparts at the Energy Council. Today’s decision followed a European Parliament vote last month signalling an overwhelming intention to quit the treaty. The ECT is a post-Cold...

The European Commission needs to invest more in artificial intelligence if it wants to achieve its ambitions and be on a par with the US and China, the European Court of Auditors (ECA) said in a report published today (29 May). The auditors, responsible for vetting EU finances, said that despite developing AI regulation – which will formally enter into force next month – the Commission failed to coordinate with the individual member states on AI policy and to systematically monitor investment. “Going forward, stronger governance and more – and better targeted – public and private investment wi...

Auf den einen günstigen Einstiegszeitpunkt an der Börse warten, um die Rendite zu verbessern? Damit sind Laien wie Profis nicht gut beraten, zeigen Studien. Denn den passenden Einstiegszeitpunkt gibt es eigentlich gar nicht. Viel wichtiger bei Börseninvestments ist der langfristige Anlagehorizont, teilt auch der Bundesverband Investment und Asset Management (BVI) mit. Denn über die Jahre wären in der Vergangenheit selbst größere Kursverluste nach einem rückblickend schlechten Einstiegszeitpunkt mehr als wett gemacht worden. Beispiel gefällig? Der BVI hat ausgerechnet, dass Investoren, die kurz...

Hargreaves Lansdown has rebuffed a takeover proposal worth £4.67 billion (€5.48 billion) made by a private equity consortium on 26 April. On Wednesday, the board of directors said they were unanimously opposed to the offer which values individual shares at 985p, claiming it "substantially undervalues" the business. The consortium includes buyers CVC Capital Partners, Nordic Capital, and Platinum Ivy, a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund. The consortium's offer represents a 30% premium on Hargreaves Lansdown's share price of 755p at the end of April, although the stock's value has ...

When it comes to real estate investments, rental yield - defined as the annual return from renting out a property - is a critical metric. Higher rental yields indicate better returns on investment, crucial for any savvy investor. To illustrate, let's break down the numbers: purchasing a property for €500,000 and earning a monthly rent of €2,000 (or €24,000 annually) results in a gross annual rental yield of 4.8%. After accounting for taxes and other administrative expenses, the net yield will be lower. Consider Maria, an astute investor aiming to maximise her rental income in the European prop...

There are hopes of improvement for Europe's commercial property market, as a long-standing trend of decline showed a slowdown for the first three months of 2024. Although values were down, they fell by just 0.5% in the first quarter. That was an improvement on the previous quarter, which saw a drop of 3.4%, according to data from the Altus Group. "As we start off 2024, we're seeing encouraging signs in the European commercial property market, with commercial property value declines moderating significantly across all sectors," Altus Group's senior vice president Phil Tily wrote in the group's ...

New York (AFP) - The trial of Archegos founder Bill Hwang for alleged securities fraud and market manipulation opened in New York on Monday, focused on the fund's spectacular 2021 implosion that cost large banks billions of dollars. The family-owned hedge fund run by Hwang had taken huge bets on a few stocks with money borrowed from banks, and when several of those bets turned sour, the fund was unable to meet "margin calls" to cover the losses. The 2021 collapse of the fund sent shock waves through financial markets and caused $10 billion in losses for Credit Suisse, Nomura, Morgan Stanley an...

With the European elections approaching, scientists from across the European Union are uniting for the first time to call for increased science funding from their candidates. "It is essential to preserve the collaborative, open and international nature of scientific work," said the 27 EU science academies in a statement presented last week in Brussels, Belgium. "At least 3% of gross domestic product (GDP) in research and education is the way of saying that we cannot limit ourselves to following emergencies, but that we work together to build a solid Europe, necessary for a truly uncertain worl...

Italian energy giant Eni is considering giving investors a chance to invest in separate stakes in its fossil fuel projects, in a move that is known as a satellite strategy. The projects are likely to be some of the company's very lucrative developments based in the Ivory Coast and Indonesia. This will allow investors who may not be particularly interested in renewable energy projects to make sure their money is funding only the fossil fuel projects they support. Similarly, it will also allow investors who prioritise green projects to ensure that their money is not being used to support fossil ...
