[ad_1] Despite posting a 9.6% return in fiscal 2024, large US college and university endowments once again fell short of market benchmarks — by a staggering 9.1 percentage points. The culprit? A combination of return smoothing and persistent structural underperformance. As the data shows, over the long term, endowments heavily invested in alternatives are falling well behind low-cost indexed portfolios. This post breaks down why and what the numbers really reveal about endowment strategy since the global financial crisis (GFC). The Data Is in The National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO) recently released its annual survey of…

[ad_1] In response to Donald Trump’s escalating tariffs, China retaliated in part by placing export restrictions on a slew of rare earth elements. These powerful materials are crucial to the U.S., because they underpin the creation of weapons, computer chips, and electric cars. China  produces a majority of these rare earth materials—and experts say that the U.S. is years away from building its own supply chain. As the U.S.–China trade war ramps up, rare earths are among the most important pieces of leverage that China controls. There are many reasons why China would not want to shut off U.S. access to…

[ad_1] New York State has proposed a new rule requiring large companies and facilities to report their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This rule is not intended to reduce emissions immediately but to improve data collection to understand where emissions are coming from. That data will help the state take stronger action in the future. This rule is an early step in the state’s climate plan, especially as it prepares to launch a “cap-and-invest” program in 2025. The reporting rule would start with emissions data from 2026, and companies would have to submit reports in 2027. The New York State Department of…

[ad_1] Every weekday, the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer releases the Homestretch — an actionable afternoon update, just in time for the last hour of trading on Wall Street. Markets: The S & P 500 soared Wednesday afternoon, in its biggest one-session gain in five years, after President Donald Trump walked back his aggressive tariffs strategy. Taking to Truth Social, the president said he put a 90-day pause on tariffs and substantially lowered the so-called reciprocal “baseline” tariff rate to 10%, effective immediately. But not every country is getting this treatment. This does not apply to China, which saw Trump…

[ad_1] ADVERTISEMENTGermany’s steel giant ThyssenKrupp wants to cut 11,000 jobs. Europe’s metal industry is in crisis. US tariffs, exorbitant energy prices, global overcapacity, competition from cheap steel from China… The European Commission is trying to save what can be saved – with a ‘Steel Action Plan’. The European Commission calls its strategy for industrial competitiveness and decarbonisation the ‘Clean Industrial Deal’. Far too much steel is produced worldwide. And now the new US government is also threatening tariffs: 25 percent on all steel and aluminium imports. As a result, there is a risk of international trade flows being diverted away from…

[ad_1] (Bloomberg) — A bond market designed around natural catastrophes is proving remarkably resilient to a man-made market meltdown. While most markets have seen deep selloffs since Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariff announcement, investors in catastrophe bonds have sailed through with hardly a ripple. Fermat Capital Management, a Connecticut-based hedge fund specialized in insurance-linked securities, says the market for catastrophe bonds “has been trading in an orderly fashion” and investors who bought them “are seeing the benefit.” The outperformance by cat bonds comes even as markets traditionally treated as havens get dragged down by the panic triggered by Trump’s tariffs.…
