Tswalu Kalahari, a private reserve in South Africa’s Northern Cape, has become the first privately protected area in southern Africa to generate verified carbon credits through wildlife management rather than traditional forestry methods. Developed in partnership with Rewild Capital and Oppenheimer Generations Research & Conservation, the project focuses on conservative grazing, veld restoration, and regenerative wildlife practices to enhance soil carbon sequestration and rehabilitate overgrazed land. The project, certified by South Africa’s Credible Carbon registry, issued its first 34,471 carbon credits in 2022, with continued issuance expected through 2039. Revenue from credit sales is reinvested into conservation and local development,…

Image source: Getty Images Legal & General (LSE:LGEN) shares are remarkably unchanged over the past decade. Yes, there have been ups and downs in between. However, £10,000 invested a decade ago would only be worth £10,000 today. The share count has largely remained consistent meaning the value of the business is roughly unchanged. Of course, the shares aren’t known for their appreciation. Instead the stock is known for its dividends. In fact, over the past decade, including this year, investors would have received £7,300. In turn, that works out as a 73% return over the period, albeit with this year’s…

Image source: Getty Images 18 months ago when silver smashed through $30, I stated that FTSE 100 stock Fresnillo (LSE: FRES) was set for an explosive move. So it turned out to be. Over that timeframe the Mexican gold and silver miner has simply blown away every other stock in London’s premium listing, including that of Rolls-Royce. Now that silver has topped $40, is it about to repeat the feat all over again? Central banks Today, everyone is talking about gold, and rightly so. But not a lot of investors are talking about its cheaper cousin, silver. Like gold, silver…
Ostrom Climate Solutions (OSTM) has emerged as a focal point in the volatile low-cap climate tech sector, with its Q2 2025 earnings report revealing a 49% year-over-year revenue surge to $860,202, driven by higher sales of Verified Emission Reduction (VER) units [1]. However, this growth was accompanied by a 25% decline in gross profit to $277,407, attributed to lower margins on VER sales compared to prior periods [2]. The company’s net loss narrowed to $683,108, a 20% improvement from $856,934 in Q2 2024, reflecting cost-cutting measures such as reduced R&D spending and debt repayment [1]. These results raise a critical…
Image source: Getty Images. Nvidia is an artificial intelligence (AI) stock I’m bullish on. Today, it’s one of my largest portfolio holdings. But it’s not my favourite AI stock right now. With its market-cap sitting at a whopping $4.3trn, I see far more investment potential in a smaller technology company that’s not getting nearly as much attention. My top AI stock right now The stock I’m really excited about is Snowflake (NYSE: SNOW). It’s a data storage and analytics company that helps companies deploy AI and serves about 750 of the Forbes Global 2000 businesses. Listed on the New York…
Image source: Getty Images When I think of iconic British brands, the likes of Burberry and Marks & Spencer come to mind. At the same time, Dr Martens (LSE:DOCS) is also on the list. The latter FTSE stock has struggled in recent years but has risen significantly in the past few months. Here are the main drivers behind it and why I believe the growth stock has further upside. Getting the background information For context, the Doc Martens share price has declined by 80% since the IPO in early 2021. A key driver behind this collapse has been a sharp…
Image source: Getty Images The FTSE 100‘s been performing well in 2025. However, some members of the index haven’t fared as well. In fact, one homebuilder has seen a 40% decline in the past year. The share price just hit fresh 52-week lows, causing some to wonder if things could get even worse, or if it’s actually a smart time to buy. Here’s my take. Facing external pressures I’m talking about Taylor Wimpey (LSE:TW). It’s one of the UK’s largest residential housebuilders. In terms of its revenue generation, the business model’s relatively straightforward. It acquires land, secures planning permissions, and…
Image source: Getty Images FTSE 100 insurance and investment giant Phoenix Group Holdings (LSE: PHNX) paid a dividend of 54p last year. On the current share price of £6.83, this gives a dividend yield of 7.9%. By comparison, the current average FTSE 100 dividend yield is just 3.4%. And the ‘risk-free rate’ (the 10-year UK government bond yield) is 4.7%. The average UK savings amount is presently £11,000, so half of this would buy 805 shares in Phoenix Group. On the current 7.9% yield, these would generate £435 in first-year dividends. This would rise to £4,350 after 10 years on…
Image source: Getty Images The Lloyds (LSE:LLOY) share price has been on quite the rampage this year, climbing by over 50% since January. The banking giant has been cashing in on the benefits of higher interest rates. And with uncertainty surrounding the motor finance scandal starting to be lifted, investor sentiment’s improved drastically. So much so that a £10,000 investment eight months ago is now worth over £15,000. So can the banking stock continue to climb even higher from here? And what are the key risks investors need to watch out for? Bullish sentiment on the rise Beyond the significant…
