Mirova has launches the Mirova Research Centre and announces first partnerships with Columbia University and ENSAE Paris. 🌎 “There are fields where we think the involvement of an asset manager like us, dedicated to sustainable investment, makes a lot of sense … to link academic research and practitioners [including investors] – which is sadly often not the case on specific topics like blended finance,” Manuel Coeslier, lead expert on climate & environment at Mirova, told Environmental Finance Michael Hurley. 👇

It's a pleasure to be featured in this week's Investors' Chronicle Tax & Pension Clinic, discussing passing on pension benefits to beneficiaries. One of the more regular questions I'm asked is how pensions impact estate and inheritance tax planning. It's certainly become more popular in the last few weeks, with the rumour mill going into overdrive in the build up to October's budget (and potential changes). It's also particularly relevant not only for UK-based individuals, but also international investors who have worked in the UK and might want to understand how their UK pension interacts with their global assets. If you have any questions, do get in touch.

Discounts across global markets present opportunities for the UK-based bargain hunter AVI Global Trust, led by Joe Bauernfreund, which recently cashed in on Starwood's Balanced Commercial Property bid. #value #investmenttrusts #assetbacked #japan
