Investors are conflicted about balancing risk and returns. While they want high returns to meet financial goals like retirement, they have a strong aversion to risk after the financial crisis. Most investors do not have clear goals or financial plans, and rely on gut instinct rather than knowledge when making decisions. They need better education on risk, returns, and performance benchmarks to develop strategies aligned with goals and risk tolerance. While use of financial advisors is rising and helping some investors, many remain stuck and at risk of falling short of their objectives without a change in approach.
The key theme of the report is whether emerging and developed economies will converge or diverge over the decade. It finds that convergence will continue in two areas: market structures and investment approaches. For market structures, 56% expect further convergence in areas like standard of living and market depth. For investment approaches, 32% expect convergence in cognitive aspects of investing, but less in intuitive aspects like buy-and-hold investing. Overall, the report examines whether investor perceptions of emerging markets are changing, what will drive asset prices in emerging and developed economies, and what asset classes will be in most demand.

Deloitte predicts that global sales of key connected devices that make up the converged living room - smartphones, tablets, PCs, TVs and video game consoles - will reach $750 billion in 2014, up $50 billion from 2013. These categories have seen strong growth over the past decade, but this growth rate is expected to slow going forward, with an estimated ceiling of around $800 billion per year. The five devices are closely related as they are the largest consumer electronics categories by revenue and play major roles in entertainment and media consumption, benefiting from common technologies like processors and screens.

The document provides an overview and analysis of European fund market flows in 2013 based on data from Lipper FundFile. Some key points:
- Total estimated net sales in European funds was €183.5 billion in 2013. Bond funds saw €96 billion in sales while equity funds saw €92 billion and mixed assets funds saw €85 billion.
- Risk appetite increased in 2013 compared to 2012, leading to stronger flows into equity funds across most major European countries except Germany.
- Mixed assets funds proved popular, especially in Italy, the UK and Germany, with cross-border funds accounting for €37 billion of mixed assets sales.
- BlackRock maintained the top spot for European fund sales at €32
The document summarizes the additional banking regulations imposed by Swiss authorities beyond Basel III requirements. It finds that Swiss regulations require higher capital ratios, with non-systemic banks needing up to 9.2% common equity versus 7% under Basel III, and systemic banks requiring 19% total capital versus 13% under Basel III. The document also evaluates arguments for and against strengthening the leverage ratio requirement in Switzerland beyond the 3% minimum in Basel III, finding that while concerns about underestimating risk and banks remaining too big have merit, capital requirements alone cannot ensure stability and resolution procedures are also needed.
The document summarizes the key findings of the Global Financial Centres Index 15 (GFCI 15). Some of the main points include:
- New York surpassed London as the top-ranked global financial center, though the difference between the two is small. Hong Kong and Singapore remained third and fourth.
- London experienced the largest drop among the top 50 centers due to issues like regulatory failures, uncertainty over EU membership, and an unwelcoming environment for foreign workers.
- Middle Eastern centers like Qatar, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi continued rising in the ranks.
- Most European centers declined as the region remains in turmoil. Offshore centers also struggled with reputation and regulation issues.
This document provides an overview of strategies that can help biotechnology companies unlock value in R&D. It discusses how value is often not recognized by stakeholders in a timely manner due to inefficiencies in traditional drug development. Three strategies are highlighted that can address this - precision medicine using biomarkers to identify patient subgroups, adaptive clinical trial designs that allow for real-time modifications, and precompetitive collaborations between companies. These approaches help reduce R&D risk, costs and time, while generating more evidence for payers. They allow resources to be used more efficiently to focus on assets most likely to succeed. The document also includes perspectives from industry experts on how these strategies impact different stages of development and help recognize the value created by biotech
The document introduces the 20th edition of the Global Financial Centres Index (GFCI 20), which ranks major financial centers globally.

Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Beijing rank as the top three centers in China. The GFCI evaluates centers based on surveys and factors measuring business environment, financial development, infrastructure, human capital, and reputation.
