The REM is one of the largest automated transportation system projects in North America. There is no doubt that increasing public transit with the aim of reducing car dependency and enhancing local life is a positive thing. So why have there been so many controversies surrounding the REM? In our new video we focus on one of them: the lack of transparency in the governance model behind the project. https://lnkd.in/e85f-rhh 

Our #AGM Odyssey continues - Listen to the Chair of the Digitisation Taskforce, Sir Douglas Flint, respond to my questions at IP Group plc's AGM. As a private investor and representative of The Engagement Appeal - TEA, I submitted four questions relating to retail shareholder engagement. Sir Douglas' reply reflects his support for inclusive finance and engagement, especially of younger generations #genz: 💸 The democratisation of savings - so that people can save for life events and ultimately retirement - is hugely important. ⚡ Gen Z / young people have a completely different approach to investing. One of Sir Douglas' children is a modest but active investor in companies that Sir Douglas has never heard of, and does so through chat rooms with his friends. The young talk openly about investing and how they go about doing this. 🔊 Sir Douglas has visited the University of Cambridge several times and has observed first-hand how enthusiatic gen z are about investing. He reminded one student about the importance of diversification when this student mentioned how he wanted to invest all his money in nuclear fusion companies! 🚀 Gen Z are particularly keen on #tech #stocks as they consider this "cool". 🧒 Young people are interested in investing "and hopefully we'll see retail investing coming back into this country because it's the lowest [it] has ever been". 📈 Institutional investment challenges: UK institutions now own only 4% of the UK stock market compared to 50% 20 years ago! 🚨 So there is a growing need for retail investment. Hopefully the next government will see the importance of retail and prioritise this. Listen to / watch Sir Douglas' reply courtesy of Investor Meet Company who themselves are doing a commendable job of helping to democratise #investorrelations: https://lnkd.in/e84PFzj2 CFO & COO David Baynes also provided a robust and highly pertinent reply, which, especially when combined with Sir Douglas' reply demonstrates the company's understanding and commitment to #nextgen investor engagement. Thank you for taking the time to address my and all shareholders' questions at your AGM, IP Group team. TEA will follow up more formally via email shortly.

Tomorrow marks the beginning of the annual European flagship Private Debt conference in London. The agenda promises an engaging and insightful event, to say the least. I'm thrilled to once again contribute by moderating a debate on the topic of “who’s issuing better credit?”, and are co-leading the IC Panel  alongside #GabriellaKindert. During the debate, we'll delve into the perspectives of various GPs across the middle market spectrum (#Dunport, #FederatedHermes, #Ares). It's sure to be an intriguing exchange of arguments across the aisle where LPs can gain a deeper understanding of the nuances behind each dedicated strategy, as none of the panelists adhere to a cookie-cutter approach to direct lending. The IC Panel will feature three real-life case studies presented by GPs (#NorthwallCapital, #ZenzicCapital, #FruxCapital), sparking discussions on whether the loans should be issued, or if the deal should be rejected outright. Having hosted this panel with Gabriella for many years, I anticipate a lively discussion that offers LPs valuable insights into how loans are evaluated within a GP's framework. Overall, I'm excited to reconnect with familiar faces as the event feels like a "class reunion" with so many long-standing participants. #PrivateDebtInvestor, #PDI, #PrivateDebt, #PDIEurope, #PrivateCredit, #SigloCapitalAdvisors
