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.
The document provides an overview of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), covering its demography, political system, education and healthcare systems, women, dressing, sports, economy, infrastructure, Expo 2020, and mission to Mars. Some key points include that the UAE is a federation of 7 emirates led by a Supreme Council of Rulers, has a growing economy focused on oil/gas and services like finance and tourism, and has major infrastructure projects like Dubai Expo 2020 and a planned Mars mission.

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.
Our Industry 2014 is packed with insights and useful facts, graphs and images from Syngenta and many external sources. It covers the global challenges relating to food security and includes sections on the major crops and on advances in agricultural technology.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Global food challenge Australian international business opportunityCreatovate Pty Ltd
The document discusses the global food challenge of needing to produce as much food in the next 40 years as has been produced in the past 8,000 years to feed a growing population. It notes that Australia already feeds 50 million people beyond its own needs and has the potential to quadruple food exports. However, issues like climate change, limited land and water, and changing diets are putting pressure on the global food system. The document argues that the food challenge presents an opportunity for Australia's international business.
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.
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.
- Poverty means lacking basic living standards and conditions like adequate food, shelter, education and healthcare. Over 1 billion people live on less than $1.25 a day.
- In 2015, world leaders agreed to 17 Sustainable Development Goals to improve prosperity and sustainability by 2030 through initiatives targeting issues like poverty, hunger, health, education, water and sanitation.
- Foreign aid involves the transfer of resources like money, food, healthcare and education from wealthier to poorer nations. Australia provides about $4 billion annually in foreign aid, with over 70% going to countries in the Asia-Pacific region focused on issues like health, education, economic development and governance.

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.

costs $1 million
Average medical costs for a couple in the US - $220,000
Education costs – per child up to $520,000 until age 18
and a “normal" 4 year degree costs $100,000 (Harvard
costs $260,000)
Taking a holiday once a year for 15 years in retirement
mounts up and costs on average $150,000
Monetize YOUR Goals

7. Goals – Paying For It
Average US couple will need $1 million for retirement
Assuming a conservative 4-5% annual draw-down (pre-
inflation, emergencies)
Investing in a tax-free muni bond portfolio, drawing down
$40,000 annually…
There is a 72% chance nest egg will be exhausted before you
die

8. Fertility rates are slowing, longevity is increasing
Between 2013 and 2050 the number of people globally 65 and older
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
markets…

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

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

20. Liquid Investment Theory (LIT)
Provides additional layers of diversification
Asset Class: a finite resource
Commodities: not correlated with other assets
