Central banks start to ease off the brakes
We have grown used to 'higher for longer', but the winds of change have now seemingly started to blow in the corridors of monetary policy power. Sweden and Switzerland have cut, and Canada followed suit. All eyes were on the ECB, and it did not disappoint, cutting rates by 25 basis points. Christine Lagarde was still guarded, however, and did not commit to further falls. John Stopford analyses the implications.

Deciphering the human factor
Investment analysts frequently ignore culture and inclusion, focusing exclusively on companies’ financial statements. Yet the ‘human factor’ is often among the key drivers of corporate performance, and ultimately of shareholder returns. Professor Alex Edmans talks with Ninety One’s Stephanie Niven and Miles Hamilton about how to leverage research into culture and inclusion into better investment decisions. They also discuss their joint work to develop a practical framework for incorporating culture insights into investment analysis.
