The history and future of Ireland in Europe

January 19, 2021 by Cormac Lucey

Before 1916, nationalists in Ireland had sought to craft a better future for themselves within the United Kingdom (of Great Britain and Ireland, as it was then). After 1916, independence was the goal. And, after independence was secured a century ago, Ireland consistently availed of every opportunity to further loosen its bonds with Britain.

Mind the gap: impact investing through public markets

January 19, 2021 by Tim Crockford

With a deadline of 2030, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a comprehensive list of challenges, both environmental and socioeconomic, that we face as a planet.

The Limitations of a Financial Advisor

January 19, 2021 by David Lunn

There are too many vested interests in maintaining the status quo. If the system worked perfectly for the consumer there would be no need to regulate and hence a much smaller role for regulators.

Europe’s “Man on the Moon” moments

January 19, 2021 by Katrina Dudley

The European equity market was one of the worst-performing in 2020 amid the ravages of COVID-19, with many stocks also subject to dividend limitations. However, as we move through 2021, we believe Europe should see the benefits of a V-shaped economic recovery as the dissemination of a vaccine will benefit all economies.

Why listed private equity is worth a look

December 17, 2020 by Eoin McBennett

Much has been written about alternative asset classes over the past decade, and it’s easy to see why.

Your Pension – Your Priority

December 17, 2020 by John Harkin

Pension reform or hot air?

December 17, 2020 by Paul Murray

The government published its Interdepartmental Pensions Reform and Taxation Group (IDPRTG – that rolls off the tongue so easily) report on the 13th of last month. 

Why was the Ant Financial IPO suspended?

December 17, 2020 by Samir Mehta

My remit is not politics. Yet everything is politics nowadays. Look no further than the suspension of the highly anticipated IPO of Ant Financial (AF). That it happened after attracting US$3 trillion in demand, and a couple of days prior to its listing, is unprecedented. None of us is privy to the actual reasons, but we could try connecting the dots.

The green tsunami to come…

December 17, 2020 by Robert-Jan van der Mark

In recent years, a wave of sustainability projects and goals have mostly been led by Europe. Last year, the EU announced its Green Deal which will be a core pillar of the political agenda for the future. And recently it agreed a €750 billion recovery package to revive the European economy from the coronavirus. How are these two announcements connected?

Income with growth in 2021: Commercial Property?

December 17, 2020 by Tim Wang

As such, “income with growth” should be an important part of a portfolio allocation strategy given accelerating economic growth and a potential reflation environment. Real estate can be an effective vehicle to help achieve this investment objective.
