Variants of Type B blood, with weak expression of the B antigen, have been previously described and are known to be rare.

In an investment portfolio, some assets perform better than others. The reasons for the underperformance of an asset are varied. They might have been overlooked during the buyer’s due diligence.

Commercial – e.g., overlooked higher-margin products or target markets, low diversification of the customer base, room for pricing optimisation.
Technical – e.g., reduced level of maintenance leading to a high frequency of unplanned shutdowns, a limited capital investment plan to support planned revenue streams.
Environmental, Health and Safety – e.g., outstanding remediation activities and impact on the cost of decommissioning, poor operating practices.
