by Kanika Chandaria, Climate Tech Lead, and Thomas Gent, Regenerative Farming Lead, AgreenaCarbon credits have become a key focus in businesses’ attempts to compensate for their residual emissions. But the carbon credit market has a complex dynamic – one that can unfortunately lead to doubts over its credibility. Currently, most industry players are split into two broad groups. On one end, there are the companies investing in avoidance credits: these are typically cheap, low-quality and don’t physically remove carbon from the atmosphere. On the other end, there are those investing in engineered carbon removals, which range from high-cost technologies like direct…

Image source: Getty Images Thanks to the explosion in artificial intelligence (AI) hype, US tech giants like Nvidia and Meta Platforms have soared. The boost has helped thousands of US investors enjoy a huge influx of capital gains. But what if that boom could also become the foundation of a second income stream? Well, it’s possible — albeit with a hefty dose of caution. While picking the next Nvidia may seem the obvious route, high valuations and hype cycles mean there’s risk. For British investors, an easier and more diversified path may be found in an investment trust like Scottish…

Image source: Getty Images The BAE (LSE: BA) share price has gone like a missile over the past five years. While the dividend doesn’t look like much at first glance, that’s been rising steadily too, giving long-term investors a solid stream of income to go with all that capital growth. This combination has made BAE Systems one of the standout stocks on the FTSE 100. So what’s been fuelling it? Booming global demand Defence and aviation stocks were out of fashion a few years ago, but now the world is rearming at pace. That’s sad for the world but has been a clear…

Image source: Getty Images Sometimes I feel like giving up on the Legal & General (LSE: LGEN) share price. When I added it to my Self-Invested Personal Pension, I felt the shares were so cheap they were ready to rocket. The price-to-earnings ratio was around six or seven at the time. They haven’t done too badly over the last 12 months, climbing about 20%, but that was from a low base. At today’s 255p, they’re actually below the 265p they traded at back in August 2015. That’s a whole decade of going nowhere. FTSE 100 underperformer The board described today’s (6 August)…
The stock is up about 7% this year, and investors get reliable monthly income. Stubbornly high interest rates have made investing in property more of a challenge — there’s a huge difference in your mortgage when you’re weighing a sub-3% interest rate with one that’s 6%. That’s why I also appreciate Realty Income (O -0.38%) as perhaps one of the best real estate investment trusts (REITs) you can buy. But does it make sense to invest in Realty Income today? In a world of high interest rates, concerns about tariffs and trade wars, and a challenging retail landscape, is Realty…
Image source: Getty Images The Glencore (LSE: GLEN) share price continues to see wild volatility swings. As a long-term shareholder I’ve remained firm. But is my conviction misplaced? H1 results Today (6 August) the miner reported a mixed set of results. Revenues were flat and adjusted earnings before income tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) came in 14% lower at $5.4bn. The primary driver for the fall was continued weak thermal and steelmaking coal prices as well as lower copper volumes. Strong copper prices — a result of tariffs and a dislocation in prices between the London Metals Exchange and the…
