Orascom Telecom Media & Technology Holding (OTMT) stock is recommended as a sell with a target price of EGP0.40 per share, representing a 29% downside. This is based on two valuation scenarios. The base case excludes OTMT's investment in Koryolink, which contributed most of OTMT's revenues and profits, due to sanctions affecting OTMT's control. The best case values Koryolink at an independent valuation but still results in a target price below current levels. Given difficulties exercising control over assets and visibility, it is recommended to sell OTMT now.

20130417 - Winged Foot Capital - How to diligence a quant strategy_d2.pdfRam Ahluwalia, CFA
Winged Foot Capital provides a framework for diligencing quantitative investment strategies. They discuss evaluating managers who are reluctant to reveal their strategies by decomposing performance into skill and breadth using the Fundamental Law of Active Management. Winged Foot also emphasizes the importance of controlling exposure to systematic risk factors through hedging in order to maximize risk-adjusted returns. Leverage allows managers to operate on an efficient frontier with higher returns while maintaining their risk-adjusted performance. Diligence should focus on managers with sustainable edges, relative value approaches, and large opportunity sets to increase breadth.

How Does CRISIL Evaluate Lenders in India for Credit RatingsShaheen Kumar

This comprehensive assessment ensures a thorough evaluation of creditworthiness and financial strength. Each criterion is meticulously examined to provide credible and reliable ratings.
OJP data from firms like Vicinity Jobs have emerged as a complement to traditional sources of labour demand data, such as the Job Vacancy and Wages Survey (JVWS). Ibrahim Abuallail, PhD Candidate, University of Ottawa, presented research relating to bias in OJPs and a proposed approach to effectively adjust OJP data to complement existing official data (such as from the JVWS) and improve the measurement of labour demand.
Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.
5 Tips for Creating Standard Financial ReportsEasyReports
Well-crafted financial reports serve as vital tools for decision-making and transparency within an organization. By following the undermentioned tips, you can create standardized financial reports that effectively communicate your company's financial health and performance to stakeholders.
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.

Independent Study - College of Wooster Research (2023-2024) FDI, Culture, Glo...AntoniaOwensDetwiler
"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

The strategy is a multi-strategy portfolio, consisting of 5 different trading strategies.
Each strategy has a “edge” in terms of approach, one is aiming for intraday breakouts,
another is only focused on the Asian time-zone and so on.
The idea is to create a diversification between the strategies, and thereby experience a
smoother equity curve and smaller drawdown, whilst still having exposure to most
market regimes.
It is a fully automated and self organizing predictive system which represents a paradigm
shift in automated trading No conventional technologies, algorithms, indicators or
strategies are employed.
Key to the success is the proprietary market metric system which has proven accurate in
predicting market swing points using innovative mathematical concepts.

variable or fixed interest rate. Bonds are used by companies, municipalities, states and sovereign governments to raise money and finance a variety of projects and activities.
Owners of bonds are debt-holders, or creditors, of the issuer.
CFD:
A contract for differences (CFD) is an arrangement made in a futures contract whereby differences in settlement are made through cash payments, rather than by the delivery
of physical goods or securities. It is a tradable contract between a client and a broker, who are exchanging the difference in the current value of a share, currency, commodity
or index and its value at the contract’s end. CFDs provide investors with the all benefits and risks of owning a security without actually owning it.
COMMODITIES:
A commodity is a basic good used in commerce that is interchangeable with other commodities of the same type; commodities are most often used as inputs in the
production of other goods or services. The quality of a given commodity may differ slightly, but it is essentially uniform across producers. When they are traded on an
exchange, commodities must also meet specified minimum standards, also known as a basis grade. On our platform, you can trade: Oil, Gold, Silver, Palladium, Corn, Wheat,
Soybean; Sugar Cocoa, Coffee, Cotton.
CURRENCIES:

exchange for goods and services, currency is the basis for trade.
HMW:
A high-water mark is the highest peak in value that an investment fund or account has reached. This term is often used in the context of fund manager compensation, which is
performance-based. The high-water mark ensures the manager does not get paid large sums for poor performance.
INDICES:
An index is an indicator, In the case of financial markets, stock and bond market indices consist of a hypothetical portfolio of securities representing a particular market or a
segment of it. (You cannot invest directly in an index.) However, to assess how the index has changed from the previous day, investors must look at the amount the index has
fallen, often expressed as a percentage. The Standard & Poor’s 500 is one of the world’s best known indices.
LEVERAGE:
The concept of leverage is used by both investors and companies. Investors use leverage to significantly increase the returns that can be provided on an investment. They
lever their investments by using various instruments that include options, futures, and margin accounts. Companies and investors can use leverage to finance their assets. The
control of systemic risk requires controlling leverage. Leveraging enables gains and losses to be multiplied. On the other hand, there is a risk that leveraging will result in a loss.
LONG POSITION:
A long (or long position) is the buying of a security such as a stock, commodity or currency with the expectation the asset will rise in value.
MARKET ORDERS:
An investor makes a market order through a broker or brokerage service to buy or sell an in-vestment such as currencies, commodities, bond, share and indices, immediately
at the best available current price. A market order guarantees execution, and it often has low commissions due to the minimal work brokers need to do.
PERFORMANCE FEE:
A performance fee is a payment made to a fund manager for generating positive returns. The performance fee is generally calculated as a percentage of investment profits,
often both realized and unrealized. It is largely a feature of the hedge fund industry, where performance fees have made many hedge fund managers among the wealthiest
people in the world.
MANAGEMENT FEE:
A management fee is a charge levied by an investment manager for managing an investment fund. The management fee is intended to compensate the managers for their
time and expertise for selecting stocks and managing the portfolio. It can also include other items such as investor relations expenses and the administration costs of the fund.
SHARES:
Shares are units of ownership interest in a corporation or financial asset that provide for an equal distribution in any profits, in the form of dividends. The two main types of
shares are common shares and preferred shares. Physical paper stock certificates have been replaced with electronic recording of stock shares.
SHORT POSITION:
A short, or short position, is a directional trading or investment strategy where the investor sells shares of borrowed stock in the open market. The expectation of the investor
is that the price of the stock will de-crease over time, at which point the he will purchase it.
VOLATILITY:
The greater the volatility, the greater the risk. Volatility is a statistical measure of the dispersion of returns for a given security or market index. Volatility can either be
measured by using the standard deviation or variance between returns from that same security or market index. Volatility, as expressed as a percentage coefficient refers to
the amount of uncertainty or risk about the size of changes in a security's value. A higher volatility means that a security's value can potentially be spread out over a larger
range of values. This means that the price of the security can change dramatically over a short time period in either direction.
