Barcelona (Spain) from 24 to 27 April. The talk will take place on 27 April from 10:45 to 11:45. You can drop by at booth number 4G700, Hall 4, where the EUMOFA team will offer practical demonstrations on how to access data, analyses and key information on the European fisheries and aquaculture market. EUMOFA’s presence at Seafood Expo Global is not limited to its booth. The Conference Programme will host a EUMOFA Talk on. World aquaculture production is increasing every year, as it represents enormous potential to supplement the quantities from the catch while alleviating the pressure on natural stocks. However, aquaculture activities are still often perceived negatively by EU consumers or local stakeholders. The workshop will see policy makers, market experts and business professionals discuss the strategies to meet social expectations in terms of sustainability and animal welfare.

Will other dominoes fall?

Fourteen years after the global financial crisis, banks still have the power to cause a mighty fright. Anxious depositors, investors and regulators might all be asking: will other dominoes fall? Over the past fortnight they watched aghast as three midsized American banks failed and Credit Suisse, a 167-year-old Swiss bank, suffered a run that ended with its forced marriage to UBS. On March 24th the stock prices of European banks, especially Deutsche Bank, took a knock.In America, small and midsized banks are suffering from the consequences of higher interest rates, which has reduced the value of their investments and has made it likelier that depositors will flee—not just to big banks, but to money-market funds too.One question is whether the brutal crunch is nearing an end, or whether this is just the start of a drawn-out process, as in America in the 1980s, during the savings and loan crisis. Another is whether central banks can keep raising interest rates, as the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England did this week. To rein in inflation, central banks need to tighten policy. But until the banks are truly fixed, they have no choice but to take into account the dangers doing so poses to the economy. By Alice Fulwood Wall Street correspondent The Economist

“Global Sustainable Outcomes. Notizie e previsioni T2 2020”

A cura di Pauline Grange, Portfolio Manager e Jess Williams, Global Equities & Portfolio Analyst, Responsible Investment di Columbia Threadneedle Investments. Dopo il crollo dei mercati azionari globali causato dal Covid-19 nei primi tre mesi del 2020, nel secondo trimestre si è registrata una netta ripresa dai minimi. Questo rimbalzo è stato alimentato dai programmi di stimolo fiscale e monetario dei governi di tutto il mondo, la cui portata non si osservava dai tempi della crisi finanziaria globale. Alla luce del suo orientamento più difensivo nel primo trimestre (con una flessione del 14,7% a fronte del -21,3% dell’MSCI ACWI), la strategia Global Sustainable Outcomes ha evidenziato una ripresa più lenta, guadagnando il 17,4% a fronte del +19,4% del mercato. Sebbene i mercati azionari siano tornati in prossimità dei massimi, le economie e le società globali hanno subito un duro colpo, e nel corso del trimestre diversi paesi hanno pubblicato i dati economici e sulla disoccupazione più catastrofici mai registrati. Il Covid-19 è servito a mettere in evidenza le disuguaglianze sociali a livello globale, poiché le comunità a più basso reddito sono state colpite dalla crisi in misura sproporzionata. Tendenzialmente, queste persone hanno impieghi meno retribuiti nel settore dei servizi, che è stato il più penalizzato dalle interruzioni dell’attività, o non possono lavorare da casa e sono esposte a un maggior rischio di contagio. Ciò ha contribuito ad alimentare il malcontento sociale e politico in diverse parti del mondo. Nel corso del trimestre abbiamo assistito all’ascesa del movimento Black Lives Matter, che è nato come protesta contro il razzismo sistemico negli Stati Uniti e si è diffuso in tutto il mondo. Molte aziende, tra cui marchi sportivi come Adidas e Nike, hanno preso atto della necessità di introdurre politiche occupazionali più attive per affrontare il problema della scarsa diversità nel loro organico. Abbracciare la diversità sul posto di lavoro non è un bene solo per la società, ma anche per le aziende. Avere una forza lavoro che riflette meglio la propria base di consumatori aiuta a sviluppare in modo più efficace i prodotti e i servizi per soddisfare le loro esigenze. Ad esempio, nel settore delle vendite al dettaglio le donne rappresentano il segmento più ampio dei consumatori, ma sono per lo più assenti dal top management. In Gran Bretagna, nessuna azienda del settore delle vendite al dettaglio inclusa nel FTSE 350 è gestita da una donna, mentre in Europa solo il 3% delle 87 maggiori aziende di prodotti di consumo e di vendite al dettaglio ha dirigenti donne (secondo European Women on Boards, un’organizzazione sostenuta dall’UE). Ora la maggior parte delle grandi aziende afferma che migliorare la diversità razziale, etnica e di genere della forza lavoro è un obiettivo importante.Tra l’altro, durante la pandemia le aziende sono state oggetto di un più attento esame per quanto riguarda il trattamento dei lavoratori, dei fornitori e delle comunità locali. Le accuse di sfruttamento dei lavoratori presso il rivenditore britannico Boohoo lanciate dai media sono sfociate in un boicottaggio dei clienti e in una bufera su Twitter. Il successivo crollo del 49% delle azioni di Boohoo3 dimostra come fattori sociali come le pratiche scorrette dei datori di lavoro e lungo le catene di produzione possano avere un impatto reale sulle valutazioni finanziarie. Le azioni dell’impresa erano ancora in ribasso del 24% a metà agosto, a dimostrazione del fatto che gli effetti durano più a lungo delle bufere sui social media.In definitiva, nell’investimento ESG l’attenzione degli investitori non si concentra più solo sui fattori ambientali, ma anche su quelli sociali, e aspetti come la trasparenza delle catene di produzione, le politiche occupazionali e il sostegno alle comunità locali influenzano in misura crescente la reputazione e i valori delle aziende. Investendo in aziende che danno un apporto positivo ai nostri temi sociali nell’ambito della strategia Global Sustainable Outcomes, ci auguriamo di poter contribuire a rendere il mondo più inclusivo.

Il Threadneedle (Lux) Global Multi Asset Income Fund festeggia il suo quinto anniversario

Lussemburgo. Il Threadneedle (Lux) – Global Multi Asset Income Fund è una strategia a gestione attiva che mira a ottenere un rendimento del 5%. Il fondo, in particolare, ha l’obiettivo di generare flussi reddituali e accrescere il capitale investito nel medio-lungo termine. Almeno due terzi del patrimonio sono investiti in posizioni in società e obbligazioni emesse da società e governi di tutto il mondo. Secondo l’approccio di investimento del gestore Maya Bhandari, dal 2015, il Fondo investe in tre fonti diversificate: azioni, reddito fisso e vendita di opzioni call su indici. Il perseguimento di questo obiettivo è stato sempre accompagnato dal controllo della volatilità, in modo da preservare il capitale nel medio-lungo termine.Un rapido sguardo alle diverse classi di attivi rivela le sfide attuali con cui molti investitori si devono oggi confrontare. L’azionario è volatile per sua natura, come ha ricordato la correzione di fine 2018. Al contempo, i rendimenti obbligazionari sono prossimi ai minimi storici, per cui le prospettive di rendimento corretto per il rischio dei titoli di Stato core sono quanto mai deboli e il loro potenziale è marginale. In un contesto di tassi bassi e di volatilità sui mercati azionari, gli investitori devono trovare quindi nuovi modi per ottenere un livello di rendimento interessante senza sopportare la volatilità associata all’azionario. Il fondo Threadneedle (Lux) Global Multi Asset Income mira a offrire un rendimento sostenibile nel tempo persino nell’odierno contesto di bassi rendimenti.
A livello di view sui mercati, il team di gestione in questo momento individua alcuni aspetti che possono far nutrire un cauto ottimismo. Le minacce legate al commercio globale e a una hard Brexit sono diminuite notevolmente, persino rispetto a metà dicembre. Stando sia al consensus sia alle previsioni interne di Columbia Threadneedle, la crescita economica dovrebbe attestarsi ad un ritmo pressoché ideale, né tanto rapida da rendere necessario un aumento dei tassi d’interesse, né tanto debole da riaccendere i timori di una recessione. Le azioni e il credito societario potrebbero evidenziare un andamento relativamente favorevole in questo contesto, con una crescita discreta degli utili e dei dividendi.Felicity Long, portfolio client manager del team multi-asset di Columbia Threadneedle, ha commentato: “Che si tratti di finanziare l’istruzione dei propri figli o di disporre di un reddito aggiuntivo per gli anni della pensione, gli investitori hanno bisogno oggi di investimenti che puntino a generare un alto rendimento. Tuttavia, in un mondo di tassi d’interesse estremamente bassi, per trovare una fonte di reddito solida e sostenibile è necessario sempre più pensare fuori dagli schemi tradizionali”. Maya Bhandari, gestore del Threadneedle (Lux) Global Multi Asset Income Fund, ha continuato: “Nei cinque anni di vita del Fondo abbiamo dovuto affrontare momenti a volte impegnativi per la generazione di rendimento ed è incoraggiante che il nostro approccio così accurato all’asset allocation e alla ricerca di opportunità abbia dato i suoi frutti in questo momento storico di mercato. Il nostro primario obiettivo è identificare investimenti in grado di fornire buoni ritorni tenendo, però, sempre conto del contesto macroeconomico. Vogliamo dare soluzioni con il giusto rapporto rischio-rendimento offrendo ai nostri investitori un ritorno con una volatilità controllata. In aggiunta a una puntuale strategia in termini di asset allocation sono sempre fondamentali le competenze dei nostri team specializzati nel reddito azionario globale e nel credito societario che forniscono ai nostri investitori una selezione di titoli di prim’ordine”.
Columbia Threadneedle Investments è un gruppo specializzato nell’attività di asset management leader a livello globale che si contraddistingue per un’ampia offerta di strategie a gestione attiva e molteplici soluzioni d’investimento per clienti individuali, istituzionali e corporate in tutto il mondo.
Con l’ausilio di oltre 2.000 collaboratori tra cui più di 450 professionisti dell’investimento operanti nel Nord America, in Europa e Asia, il Gruppo gestisce un patrimonio pari a EUR 440 miliardi che copre azioni dei mercati sviluppati ed emergenti, reddito fisso, soluzioni multi-asset e strumenti alternativi.
Columbia Threadneedle Investments è la società specializzata in asset management che opera a livello globale e che fa parte di Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (NYSE: AMP), uno dei principali Gruppi statunitensi per offerta di servizi finanziari. In quanto parte di Ameriprise, Columbia Threadneedle beneficia quindi del sostegno di una grande società leader nei servizi finanziari, diversificata e adeguatamente patrimonializzata.www.columbiathreadneedle.com

Global risks report

Di Donato Speroni. Ogni anno, alla vigilia dell’incontro di Davos, il World economic forum (Wef) diffonde il Global risks report, ricavato da un’indagine tra top manager ed esperti sui maggiori rischi che corre l’umanità, in termini sia di gravità che di probabilità. Rispetto all’anno scorso, si accentuano le preoccupazioni (e il pessimismo) per il fallimento degli accordi sul clima, per l’impatto dei fenomeni meteorologici estremi, per la perdita di biodiversità. Se poi si analizzano le risposte dei “global shapers” cioè del network del Wef che riunisce giovani impegnati in dialogue, action and change, si vede che per ciascuna di queste catastrofi le preoccupazioni dei giovani sono ancora maggiori.
La domanda che sorge spontanea, se si guardano i grafici del Rapporto, è come mai i potenti del mondo, consapevoli dei rischi che stiamo correndo, non si impegnino maggiormente per cambiare rotta. Sembra quasi che a Davos si assista a un teatrino (nel primo giorno, da una parte l’attivista Greta Thunberg, dall’altra il negazionista Donald Trump) senza davvero rendersi conto dell’entità della posta in gioco.Una parziale risposta può venirci da un rapporto appena diffuso dalla Banca dei regolamenti internazionali sul “cigno verde”, cioè sui rischi alla stabilità finanziaria che derivano dal cambiamento climatico. Nell’abstract si legge cheIl cambiamento climatico pone nuove sfide alle banche centrali, ai regolatori e dai supervisori (…) La valutazione dei rischi correlati al clima nel monitoraggio della stabilità finanziaria è particolarmente difficile per la totale incertezza associata con un fenomeno fisico, sociale ed economico in continuo cambiamento e tale da coinvolgere complesse dinamiche e reazioni a catena. Le analisi tradizionali dei rischi, costruite guardando al passato, e anche i modelli esistenti clima – economia non possono anticipare con adeguata accuratezza le caratteristiche che avranno i rischi legati al clima. Tra questi, quello che definiamo “cigno verde”: eventi finanziari con un potenziale estremamente distruttivo che potrebbero portare alla prossima crisi finanziaria sistemica.
Le verità è che siamo in un territorio inesplorato, nel quale le esperienze precedenti valgono ben poco; non ci sono modelli econometrici o scenari sociopolitici che possano dirci con un ragionevole grado di approssimazione quello che può accadere. Da questa analisi si può intuire il problema che angoscia anche i grandi del mondo che sono convinti di dover intervenire: l’entità della trasformazione è troppo grande per poter essere gestita con successo; meglio occuparsi di problemi “risolvibili”, che possano fornire anche un ritorno elettorale.

Global Hematology Diagnostic Devices and Equipment Market Report 2020

The “Hematology Diagnostic Devices And Equipment Global Market Report 2020” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.The global hematology diagnostic devices and equipment market was valued at about $1.9 billion in 2018 and is expected to grow to $2.35 billion at a CAGR of 5.5% through 2022.The hematology diagnostics devices and equipment market consists of sales of hematology diagnostics devices and related services. Hematology diagnostics instruments are used to diagnose diseases related to blood, vascular systems, bone marrow, auto immune disorders and hemostasis.These devices include automated cell counters, red cell indices devices, micro sedimentation centrifuges, or blood volume measuring devices, occult blood tests, platelet aggregometers, erythrocyte sedimentation rate tests, red blood cell enzyme assay kits, glutathione reductase assays and hematology reagents.Hematology diagnostic devices are driven by the increase in the prevalence of blood disorders. Hematology diagnostic devices are widely used in order to identify the type of blood disorder. A blood disorder is a condition which impacts the count of blood cells like red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, etc. Blood disorders affect millions of people each year across the world irrespective of age, race, and sex. E.g.. As per the World Health Organization, Hemoglobin disorder affects 75% of the total births globally and the prevalence of Anemia in men is 12.7%.Product recall is one of the major problems that the companies are facing. Product recall is the process of returning faulty devices due to the errors in the manufacturing of the devices. Because of the faulty devices, tests conducted in diagnostic centers may get affected. For example, In 2018, Becton Dickinson (BD) and Company recalled Vacutainer EDTA Blood Collection Tubes because they are affecting the test due to the chemical interference of test tubes with the blood samples. This recall was classified as Class I recall, the most serious type of recall, by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Such product recalls can negatively affect market growth.Companies in the hematology diagnostic devices are increasingly investing on the automation technology. Automation technology advancements are driving the demand for hematology analyzers and this automation will reduce the errors caused by manual practices in diagnostic centers. For example, Sysmex acquired a CLIA waiver for a newly automated hematology analyzer; by selling this product, Sysmex makes it possible for clinical facilities to perform hematology testing without manual errors.The hematology diagnostic devices market has a potential to grow rapidly, but stringent regulation policies are restricting its growth. The FDA currently regulates class I, class II, and class III hematology devices. Class I hemostasis devices are exempt from the premarket notification requirements and only used for general control. Regulations for class II devices are exempt from the premarket notification requirements and they can be used for special controls. Class III is the most stringent category as it requires premarket approval (PMA).

The founder and chairman of “Play for Dreams” Corporation, Mr. Huang Feng, also believes that the Internet Café has been embedded into the eSport industry chains deeply, including the theme activities, game event sponsor, team spokesperson, game relevant products development or cooperation with movie and TV episodes series. Internet café has been merged into eSport game joint development and is uptrending as the mainstream of the industry, in the meantime, the globalization of eSports is expediting as well. Given eSports becoming a hot topic in the world, the development of Internet Café, which is closely related to eSports industry, is also gradually improving in overseas markets.
Wanyoo began to explore the overseas market in 2014, opening its first overseas store in Sydney, Australia.

Although the first Internet café was founded in the UK in 1994, the Chinese Internet café business model is actually leading the evolution of the global Internet Cafe industry. In comparison, Internet café model abroad seems to be simple and plain, both hardware and software fell behind, and lack of branding and standardization in management and operation, which cannot meet the complex needs of game players, social networking and eSport game.
