Liquid Presentation - Investing into mankind's primal needLiquid Investments
The document discusses investing in agriculture to safeguard wealth against financial market uncertainties. It notes that agriculture, especially in Brazil, provides diversification benefits through exposure to an essential asset class with increasing demand. The document argues that investing in coconut plantations in Brazil in particular offers high returns due to Brazil's optimal growing conditions, research support, and strong positioning in fast-growing coconut product markets.
1) Global wealth increased to $280 trillion in 2017 but so did global debt, rising to $233 trillion. 2) The top 1% of the world's population owns half of global wealth while the bottom half of the population saw no increase in wealth. 3) The US and Japan have the largest national debts at $20 trillion and $11 trillion respectively, though as a percentage of GDP Japan's debt is larger.

This document summarizes trends in the wealth management industry from 2010-2014. It finds that the number and wealth of high-net-worth individuals will continue growing significantly in coming years, especially in Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. It also reports that new clients in this decade will increasingly demand international investment strategies and holistic family advisory services. The document recommends that financial professionals develop well-rounded international experience and perspectives to best serve the needs of these new high-net-worth clients.
The document summarizes the global economic outlook following the 2008 financial crisis. It discusses different theories on the shape and strength of economic recoveries after financial crises. It then analyzes the economic situations and outlooks of various regions and countries around the world, including challenges faced by developed economies in Europe and growth prospects for emerging economies such as China, India, and countries in the Middle East.
This document discusses dimensions of development including definitions from various authors. It provides learning objectives for understanding concepts of development and community development. It examines definitions of development from Tayebwa, Todaro, Perroux, and Rogers which largely agree that development is a multi-dimensional process involving social, economic, and political changes to improve life. Community development is defined as a participatory process to address shared community concerns. National and global development challenges are also reviewed.
A S W O T Analysis Of The Cambodian Economy.Pdftirk_tnot
This document provides a SWOT analysis of the Cambodian economy. It identifies Cambodia's greatest opportunity as potential oil and gas revenue, but also its greatest threat as the risk of misusing this revenue. Most developing countries that discovered oil failed to benefit and experienced a "resource curse" of declining development. With proper policies, oil funds could address Cambodia's weaknesses like rural decline, but fundamental reforms would be needed to realize its potential given problems like corruption, weak competitiveness, and land issues.

Health and Wellness Tech Investment Thesis May 2020Roger Kuo
Together with my fabulous partner, Samuel Rohr, we created an investment thesis on the health and wellness space for GoingVC, specifically the nutrition, fitness, and mental health verticals. Take a look and see what you think!
The document discusses the need for Atlantic Canada to strengthen its global competitiveness and increase international trade. It notes that Atlantic Canada lags behind the rest of Canada and the world economically. To improve, it must mobilize efforts around issues like demographics, competitiveness, innovation, productivity, skills, and government processes. Going global is important because emerging economies now account for half of global GDP and their growing middle classes will demand products from around the world. The document provides examples of how certain industries and sectors in Atlantic Canada could benefit from expanding international trade.

The document discusses economic growth and development. It begins by explaining the difference between economic growth, defined as an increase in production, and economic development, which includes improvements in living standards and human welfare. Several factors that influence economic growth are then examined, including capital investment, technology, trade, and institutions. The document reviews growth experiences across different countries and regions, finding varying rates of growth and convergence. It also discusses poverty, inequality, and the relationship between growth, development, and human welfare.

Global Growth Opportunities To 2030 Mark BeliczkyMark Beliczky
The document summarizes a presentation given by Mark Beliczky on global growth opportunities between 2008 and 2030. Some of the key points discussed include:
- Globalization will continue expanding and more non-Western nations like China and India will drive growth.
- The global population and middle class will increase significantly, fueling a boom in global consumption.
- China's economy will surpass the US to become the largest in the world and India will see very strong growth as well.
- However, poverty and income inequality are expected to rise substantially in parts of Africa and the developing world.
- Global growth has been revised down for 2016 and 2017 due to ongoing fragility in the global economy. Emerging markets will be the main drivers of growth and will fuel the expansion of the global middle class.
- Disruptive technologies could have a major economic impact of $14-33 trillion annually by 2025, according to one estimate. However, Canada faces challenges like declining business R&D spending and productivity growth.
- The document outlines six areas of focus to strengthen Canada's innovation performance: developing an entrepreneurial society, supporting world-class research, creating industry clusters, growing companies in clean technologies, competing in the digital world, and improving the business environment.
1) The document discusses how globalization, technology, and demographic changes are reshaping the global economy and how countries need to adapt to these structural trends.
2) It notes that the global economy is becoming "two-speed" with emerging markets growing faster than advanced economies like Canada and that trade diversification towards emerging markets is important for growth.
3) Many opportunities for Canadian and Nova Scotia companies are being missed in Asia's growing markets like China, such as in natural resources, infrastructure, agriculture, tourism, education and healthcare.
Eaquals Training for Excellence: Adjusting to global changes - effects at loc...eaquals
This document discusses how demographic and social changes, as well as other megatrends like rapid urbanization and technological breakthroughs, are disrupting businesses globally and locally. It provides nine facts about each of these megatrends, showing how populations are growing and aging differently around the world. This is reshaping consumer markets and requiring governments and companies to adapt their policies and business models. Technological innovations in particular are transforming industries and blurring sector boundaries through new digital platforms and business models. Understanding these trends is crucial for organizations to engage customers and remain relevant in a fast-changing world.
The document proposes a social enterprise called NetCo that aims to stabilize income for underprivileged people and provide job opportunities. It does this by investing resources from senior citizens in developing countries. NetCo seeks partnerships and uses mobile services to empower people with microfinancing and education. Financial projections estimate NetCo will become profitable within 5 years as it expands its client base and doubles their incomes.
The Stock Market Will Reconnect with the Economy. Then what?Ron Surz
• There are two reasons that the stock market is disconnected from the economy. Both have a high price tag.
• Ideally the economy will snap back, and the connection will be re-established that way, but it will still need to absorb an exorbitant amount of new money.
• The other way to reconnect is a market crash. Are you prepared?
• After the reconnect, be prepared for tax increases and inflation.
Economic development involves increasing a nation's wealth over time through economic growth, as measured by increases in gross domestic product. It requires using tools from various fields like finance, planning and economics. Sustainable development aims to meet current needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. Countries vary widely in their levels of development, with more economically developed countries in the northern hemisphere owning most of the world's wealth compared to less developed countries in the south. Development encompasses both economic factors like GNP per capita and social factors like education and health outcomes.
This document discusses pathways toward a sustainable future. It outlines several megatrends such as rising populations, increasing life expectancy, and shifting global economic power. Issues covered include resource constraints, climate change, water scarcity, and environmental degradation. A vision for 2050 aims to double agricultural output and freshwater supply while halving carbon emissions. Realizing this will require widespread adoption of sustainability best practices and technologies through collaboration between business, governments, and society. Self-organization and global connectivity may help proliferate affordable transformations toward a more sustainable world.

The New Global Normal: What it means for Canadian competitiveness4Front
The document discusses how the global economic context is changing with the rise of emerging economies like China and India. It outlines some key trends including:
1. The world is becoming more multi-polar as emerging economies grow rapidly and the share of global GDP in developed economies declines.
2. Global competitiveness is changing with a premium placed on innovation, skilled talent, and natural resources.
3. Demographic changes are creating a "great global talent hunt" as populations in developed nations age. Attracting and retaining skilled knowledge workers is important for competitiveness.
Jean-Luc Michel, Head of Global Commercial Development, MerialKisaco Research
The document discusses several global trends that will shape the future, including demographic growth, environmental changes, increasing urbanization, globalization, and digitization. These trends are driving fundamental changes in many industries, including animal health. Some of the key impacts highlighted are the growing global middle class, rising demand for protein, increased prevalence of zoonotic diseases, and more. The trends present both challenges and opportunities for the animal health industry to improve animal welfare and productivity through innovation.

Confirmation of Payee (CoP) is a vital security measure adopted by financial institutions and payment service providers. Its core purpose is to confirm that the recipient’s name matches the information provided by the sender during a banking transaction, ensuring that funds are transferred to the correct payment account.
Confirmation of Payee was built to tackle the increasing numbers of APP Fraud and in the landscape of UK banking, the spectre of APP fraud looms large. In 2022, over £1.2 billion was stolen by fraudsters through authorised and unauthorised fraud, equivalent to more than £2,300 every minute. This statistic emphasises the urgent need for robust security measures like CoP. While over £1.2 billion was stolen through fraud in 2022, there was an eight per cent reduction compared to 2021 which highlights the positive outcomes obtained from the implementation of Confirmation of Payee. The number of fraud cases across the UK also decreased by four per cent to nearly three million cases during the same period; latest statistics from UK Finance.
In essence, Confirmation of Payee plays a pivotal role in digital banking, guaranteeing the flawless execution of banking transactions. It stands as a guardian against fraud and misallocation, demonstrating the commitment of financial institutions to safeguard their clients’ assets. The next time you engage in a banking transaction, remember the invaluable role of CoP in ensuring the security of your financial interests.

Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

will TRIPLE to 1.5 billion, one-sixth of the world’s population
Inspite of people living longer, average retirement age throughout the
20th Century remained static at 64
Apart from (adverse) demographics, there are high levels of debt in
developed economies, slowing rates of growth in emerging

11. David Lloyd George (Chancellor of the
Exchequer, 1908-15)
He was the driver for a well intentioned
social experiment which many of us are
paying for today – state funded pensions.
While his original system was
workable, our modern day system has not
adapted and simply is not affordable
No Longer Fit For Purpose

12. Work Hard
The US government estimates that middle-income parents of infants born today
will spend $242,000 to raise their child to the age of 18…but this excludes college
fees, which can be up to an additional $520,000…before university fees are
added, a further $100,000-260,000 = up to $1 million per child
11
13. Adding Up The Cost
Retirement Children Extra
$1 million – Pension $242,000 – Living Expenses $150,000 - Holidays
$220,000 – Medical
Expenses
$520,000 + $260,000
College + University
$1.37 million $1.02 million $150,000
= $2.54 million

16. (The Need For) Diversification
Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) is used by all
fundamentally driven investors
A risk management process whereby different types
of investments are blended
Result – A collective performance generating higher
returns with lower risk than an individual investment
15
19. Liquid Investment Theory (LIT)
Provides additional layers of diversification
Asset Class: a finite resource
Commodities: not correlated with other assets
Currency: independent
Products:
agricultural, consumer, industrial, pharmaceutical
sectors
Geopolitics: 5th largest global economy by
2015, stable democracy
