'“I didn’t want to be a cog in that machine any more. For some time now, I have been both disgusted and horrified by the way higher education has developed into a cash register – essentially a money-making, MBA, lawyer-run, hedge fund-cum-real estate operation, with a minor sideline in education, where money has determined everything, where respect for pedagogy is at a minimum,” Khalidi says. “Research that brings in money, they respect. But they don’t care about teaching, even though it is the students with their tuition who provide a huge proportion of private universities’ budgets.”

[...]

Khalidi resists questions that demand a crystal ball. He is a historian who prefers to focus on analyzing what past actions tell us. His next book will focus on Ireland, and how it was a laboratory for Palestine. It stems from a fellowship he had recently at Trinity College, Dublin. He says that to understand Palestine, you have to understand British colonialism more broadly. He is hoping to examine key figures in the British aristocracy whose Irish experience was central to everything they did afterwards – people such as Arthur James Balfour, Sir Charles Tegart and Gen Sir Frank Kitson. He is hoping to show how the Irish experience was exported to India, Egypt and Palestine, and then returned to Ireland again during the Troubles, having been magnified in the colonies. “It is astonishing how personnel and counter-insurgency techniques, like torture, assassination, find their roots with the British in Ireland,” Khalidi says.

His personal family history, his scholarship and the front row seat he had as part of the Palestinian advisory group during talks in Madrid in the early 1990s show him that until the US shifts its total, uncritical support for Israel, the Palestinians will not get anything close to sovereignty. “It’s never statehood, it’s never self-determination,” he says. “It is an extension into the future of the status quo with epaulets.”

When he looks back at the 1990s, he is reminded of what the Palestinians were up against, and why they didn’t stand a chance. And why the peace efforts of the time were destined for failure. Not only did Israel have its own lawyers, combing over every detail, it had the backing of the US too. Khalidi understands that it was a fundamental error on the part of Yasser Arafat and his team to think that the US could be an honest broker.

“That is what drives me: Israel cannot do any of this – killing this number of Palestinians [more than 40,000 at the time of writing] without the US and western European countries. The US gives Israel the green light. It is a party to the war on Palestine. That is what drives me as an American. I am not just at this because I am a Palestinian. It is because I am an American. Because we are responsible.”'

[readingsquotes]

Rashid Khalidi turns 76 this year; he is the same age as the state of Israel, and this incident was the latest example of what has been happening to Palestinians since the founding of Israel: in his words, “systematic, massive dispossession and theft”.

..The book [The Hundred Years’ War On Palestine] presents a persuasive framing that what has happened to Palestine is the consequence of a settler-colonial project, and the resistance that that has prompted.

..His next book will focus on Ireland, and how it was a laboratory for Palestine. It stems from a fellowship he had recently at Trinity College, Dublin. He says that to understand Palestine, you have to understand British colonialism more broadly. He is hoping to examine key figures in the British aristocracy whose Irish experience was central to everything they did afterwards – people such as Arthur James Balfour, Sir Charles Tegart and Gen Sir Frank Kitson. He is hoping to show how the Irish experience was exported to India, Egypt and Palestine, and then returned to Ireland again during the Troubles, having been magnified in the colonies. “It is astonishing how personnel and counter-insurgency techniques, like torture, assassination, find their roots with the British in Ireland,” Khalidi says.

Different Financial Instruments

Different Financial Instruments in India The financial market in India provides a wide variety of products to suit different risk tolerances and investment requirements. Making wise investing selections requires having a thorough understanding of these instruments. Here, we examine a few of the most important financial products that are offered in India.

Stocks Ownership in a corporation is represented by stocks, or equity. Purchasing shares of a firm permits you to participate in its development and earnings as an owner. On stock markets such as the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), stocks are exchanged. Although they have a large amount of market risk, they provide huge profits. Prior to making an investment in stocks, investors should perform extensive research.

Bonds Bonds are fixed-income securities that governments, businesses, and local governments issue to raise money. At maturity, they repay the principle amount together with monthly interest payments. Although they sometimes yield less returns than stocks, bonds are seen to be safer. For conservative investors seeking consistent income, they are perfect.

Mutual Funds Mutual funds invest in a diverse portfolio of stocks, bonds, and other assets by pooling the money of several individuals. Professional fund managers oversee them. By providing diversity, mutual funds help individual investors take on less risk. They are available in several varieties, including debt, equity, and hybrid funds, to accommodate varying risk tolerances and investment objectives.

Fixed Deposits (FDs) Fixed deposits are one of the most popular investment options in India. They offer a fixed interest rate for a specified tenure, providing assured returns. FDs are considered very safe, especially when deposited in reputable banks. They are suitable for risk-averse investors seeking guaranteed returns.

Derivatives Financial contracts known as derivatives derive their value from underlying assets such as stocks, bonds, or indexes. Derivatives that are frequently used are swaps, options, and futures. They are employed in price movement speculation and risk hedging. Since they can be complicated, derivatives are usually only advised for seasoned investors.

Instruments for Foreign Exchange Currency trading is a part of foreign exchange instruments. Businesses and investors use them to speculate on currency changes or as a hedge against currency risk. Forex trading is extremely risky and necessitates a solid grasp of world economic issues.

Cash and Cash Equivalents These include instruments like treasury bills, commercial papers, and certificates of deposit. They are highly liquid and can be quickly converted into cash. Cash equivalents are low-risk investments, suitable for short-term needs or as a part of a diversified portfolio

Goods and Services Investing in commodities such as crude oil, silver, and gold is an additional choice. Direct commodity trading is also possible, as is commodity futures trading. They diversify an investment portfolio and act as a buffer against inflation. In summary The financial market in India provides a vast range of instruments to suit varying risk appetites and investment requirements. Investors have a wide range of alternatives, from secure and steady fixed deposits to high-risk, high-reward stocks. Making wise investing selections requires having a thorough understanding of these instruments, as well as the risks and rewards associated with each. There is a financial product in India to meet your demands, regardless of whether you are an aggressive investor wanting large profits or a conservative investor seeking safety.

As a backpacker, one didn’t stay in a location for very long-- the definition was to literally travel and explore the world for the soul purpose of freedom and freedom was what Tokyo’s soul craved. Once they graduated from University, they felt the need to flee and their mind conjured up a long-term plan, which they knew would not sacrifice their happiness in comparison to a dead-end job. This would be an adventure. Along the way, they knew the opportunity would arise to meet some amazing people, eat nontraditional and exotic foods and travel to the world's finest places. Their map was practically covering ALL the 'seven wonders of the world and then some' locations and Tokyo didn't regret it one bit. Whether the places they traveled to like--- the Stone Hedge in England or the Taj Mahal in India-- were bombarded by tourists, they still found wonder and awe in their surroundings. So far, it's been worth it. At the end of the day, they had their Aunt Mae and her wife's unconditional love (and funding) to thank for such a broad dream.

Among the many faces they met and acquaintances they made, Tokyo recently fell quite fond of someone in particular--- which reigned of having every intention of knowing Iris. Part of them wanted to slow down just to take in the atmosphere and their new company, even though their physical itinerary called for moving on soon. Venturing out was better than not, even if sleep was eventually needed (however lucky for them, Tokyo never slept long). It would also be comforting to have someone more familiar of the area than themselves, so there was unsaid trust as Tokyo tagged along-- alike two young kids, excitedly holding and tugging one another's hands towards the direction of their destination. This was most definitely a date! Their metaphorical door for dating was always partially open, actually, not something they found themselves thinking alot about. So, it must've been a change in character around the brunette.

Stumbling upon the Karaoke bar, the biggest grin and matching dimples crept upon Tokyo's features. It was like words didn't even need to be exchanged, somehow the vibe was correct. "No, no, I'm not much of a singer, but--- oh nevermind semantics, karaoke is 'bout 'aving fun! I'm all for it." Truthful to their word, their hiking boots followed foot of Iris, through the lack of people and settled upon a nearby stool. Iris didn't just impress with the fact that out of all randomized music, British-Pop was given to her AND that she was incredibly talented in holding a note. The tidbits here and there gave it away to be Elton John and a new singer, Tokyo was caught mouthing along and bopping their mullet head. Iris definitely did serenade, included in just the airkiss.

By the time she arrived back, blush was upon pale cheeks. "Pish-posh! You were incredible," They took a sip of their mocktail through their swirly straw awhile their grin never left. "And very cute, cannot forget that." Subconsciously, Tokyo reached out to pat the side of her hip and stand a little closer. Were they nervous? Always. But that was because it was their turn to make fun of themselves, and make a god-awful impression, with all this direct attention on them. However, this wasn't their first rodeo. They just silently prayed that more GOOD music was in the queue. "I don't have the guts like ya to go random, so now it's my turn to serenade you with a favourite, how's that, love?" With a cocky wink, Tokyo placed their glass down and hopped up and onto the stage.

Exhaling sharply, their fingers flipped through the screen to find The Smith's song "There is a Light that Never Goes Out". The lyrics popped up and it made them feel extremely better, because it was one of their favourite songs and bands, even if the lyrics weren't exactly Karaoke worthy. Before their soft, crackling singing (partially due to nerves and just not being as talented as Iris), a mirrored air kiss was also thrown her way.

"To die by your side, well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine.... there is a light that never goes out..." As the song drifted off, Tokyo definitely felt more at ease, having known every word even with a not being totally on beat. There were claps just like every other turn, but they definitely felt like they needed an actual alcoholic drink after that self-deprecated disaster. But they continued to stand proudly and slid their way back and towards their date. "Well, that was something. But excuse me looking like a hot mess, I probably looked like a nutter up there," Tokyo brushed the sweaty locks away from their forehead before retrieving glass. Iris quickly made them feel comfortable, just like hanging with old friends back home, and that earned them bonus points. "Karaoke is fun, innit? What else do ya have up your sleeve?"

Benefits of a Wealth Report in the Top Mutual Fund Software in India

Managing thousands of investments daily is a core part of a Mutual Fund Distributor’s (MFD’s) job. However, keeping track of every investment manually can be incredibly overwhelming. Balancing multiple portfolios, analyzing data, and ensuring accurate records often lead to stress and burnout. This is why MFDs need the top mutual fund software in India that includes a wealth report feature to simplify their work.

Challenges MFDs Face While Managing Investments

Too Much Data to Handle MFDs deals with extensive client portfolios, each with unique investment patterns and requirements. Tracking this data manually is not just overwhelming but prone to errors.

Time-Consuming Processes Analyzing multiple portfolios and generating insights takes up significant time, leaving less room for revenue-generating tasks or client engagement.

Requires Intense Focus Constantly working with numbers and intricate details demands focus and precision, which can lead to fatigue over time.

Difficulty in Presenting Information Providing clear, consolidated updates to clients about their financial status often involves hours of effort. Without proper tools, the process becomes inefficient and frustrating.

Introducing the Easiest Way to Manage Investments

A reliable mutual fund software for distributors comes equipped with a wealth report feature, offering MFDs a simplified view of their client’s overall investments. This single report consolidates multiple asset classes into an easy-to-read format, providing a clear picture of a client’s financial standing.

What Does the Wealth Report Cover?

The wealth report in wealth management software provides a consolidated view of diverse investment classes, ensuring MFDs have complete control and understanding of their client's financial portfolios. Here’s what it covers:

Mutual Funds: All mutual fund investments are categorized and displayed, offering insights into performance, allocation, and diversification.

Equity: A detailed summary of clients' stock holdings, including performance metrics, unrealized gains or losses, and market trends.

Post Office Investments: Information on postal savings instruments, with interest rates, and other relevant information.

FDs/Bonds: Details of fixed deposits and bonds, covering tenure, interest rates, and maturity status, helping clients keep track of their fixed-income investments.

Commodity Investments: An overview of commodity holdings, such as gold and silver, with value tracking and market trends.

Real Estate: A snapshot of real estate investments, so investors and MFDs know what have they invested in.

PMS and Alternative Investments: Comprehensive details about Portfolio Management Services (PMS) and alternative investments like AIFs, hedge funds, or private equity.

Loan Against Mutual Funds: A detailed breakdown of loans availed against mutual fund investments, including loan amounts, interest rates, and repayment schedules. This helps MFDs ensure clients can leverage their investments without disrupting their portfolio goals.

Why is a Wealth Report Beneficial?

Comprehensive Investment Overview: The wealth report gives MFDs a complete snapshot of their client's investments across different asset classes, making it easier to identify gaps and recommend suitable investment opportunities.

Saves Time and Effort: With all data consolidated in one report, MFDs no longer need to manually analyze multiple documents or spreadsheets. This reduces the time spent on portfolio analysis.

Enhanced Client Communication: Presenting a single, well-structured report improves transparency and helps MFDs communicate effectively with clients. Clients can easily understand their financial status, boosting trust and satisfaction.

Higher Productivity By automating data compilation and analysis, MFDs can focus on strategic activities like acquiring new clients and deepening existing relationships.

Conclusion

The wealth report feature in software is an invaluable tool for MFDs. It simplifies portfolio management by providing a single view of all investments, reducing stress and saving time so that MFDs can manage investments with ease, and focus on what truly matters, business growth.

OPEC Reduces 2024, 2025 oil demand growth forecasts | Marine Jobs

 Crude Oil Price Movements

In November, the OPEC Reference Basket (ORB) value dropped by $1.47, or 2.0%, month-on-month (m-o-m), to average $72.98/b.

GME Oman front-month contract dropped by $2.55, or 3.4%, m-o-m, to average $72.48/b. The ICE Brent-NYMEX WTI first month spread remained little changed, widening marginally by 4¢/b, m-o-m, to average $3.86/b. The forward curves of oil futures prices flattened further, with the nearest time spreads contracting but remaining in backwardation. Hedge funds and other money managers raised their net long positions but maintained a bearish stance on oil prices.

World Economy

The world economic growth forecasts remain unchanged at 3.1% for 2024 and 3.0% for 2025. The US economic growth forecast for 2024 is revised up slightly to 2.8%, reflecting robust growth in 2H24. For 2025, the US growth forecast is also revised up slightly to 2.2%. Japan’s growth forecast remains unchanged at 0.1% in 2024, but for 2025, it is revised up slightly to 1.0%.

World Oil Demand

The global oil demand growth forecast for 2024 is revised down by 210 tb/d from the previous month’s assessment to 1.6 mb/d, year-on-year (y-o-y). This minor adjustment is mainly due to updated data for 1Q24, 2Q24 and 3Q24. In the OECD, oil demand is expected to grow by around 0.1 mb/d, while non-OECD demand is forecast to expand by close to 1.5 mb/d in 2024. Global oil demand growth for 2025 is also revised down by 90 tb/d from the previous month’s assessment to 1.4 mb/d, y-o-y. OECD demand is expected to grow by 0.1 mb/d, y-o-y, in 2025, while demand in the non-OECD is forecast to expand by 1.3 mb/d.

World Oil Supply

Non-DoC liquids supply (i.e. liquids supply from countries not participating in the DoC) is expected to grow by 1.3 mb/d, y-o-y, in 2024, revised up slightly from last month’s assessment. The main growth drivers are expected to be the US and Canada. For 2025, the non-DoC liquids supply growth forecast is expected to grow by 1.1 mb/d, y-o-y, unchanged from last month. Growth is anticipated to be mainly driven by the US, Brazil, Canada, and Norway. Natural gas liquids (NGLs) and non-conventional liquids from countries participating in the DoC are forecast to grow by about 0.1 mb/d, y-o-y, in 2024 to average 8.3 mb/d, followed by an increase of about 80 tb/d, y-o-y, in 2025 to average 8.4 mb/d. Crude oil production by the countries participating in the DoC increased by 0.32 mb/d in November compared with the previous month, averaging about 40.67 mb/d, as reported by available secondary sources.

[ad_1] Bajaj Finserv Asset Management Limited recently launched the Bajaj Finserv Healthcare Fund,, a thematic fund that invests predominantly in industries and sectors that are tied to the healthcare space. The NFO period for this scheme began on December 6th, 2024, and is on till December 20th, 2024.   Bajaj Finserv Healthcare Fund   If you’re wondering if the Bajaj Finserv Healthcare Fund can be a suitable investment opportunity, this article tells you more about this scheme, the investment strategy, and the types of investors it may suit.   1. Investors seeking a long-term investment strategy The Bajaj Finserv Healthcare Fund follows the MEGATRENDS strategy, investing in large-scale and long-term changes that can shape healthcare in India and the world. Some of the megatrends in focus are:   Regulatory megatrends: There is an expected boost in the Contract Research and Manufacturing Services (CRAMS) segment, especially in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology   Economic megatrends: There is increased awareness about the importance of health insurance, but out-of-pocket expenses remain high. Health insurance coverage, as a result, is expected to rise significantly in the next few years.   Demographic megatrends: An ageing population and increased life expectancy has led to a greater demand for healthcare products and services.   Social megatrends: Greater awareness about health and wellness is resulting in increased expenditure on preventive healthcare, nutrition, fitness, and mental well-being   By focusing on these avenues, the Bajaj Finserv Healthcare Fund avoids chasing short-term trends and instead seeks instead to potentially capitalise on long-term trends with wide-ranging impacts.   2. Investors with a higher risk appetite Since the Bajaj Finserv Healthcare Fund is an equity scheme falling under the thematic fund category, it may entail higher risk than broad market equity funds. The fund targets sectors within the healthcare space, which can experience fluctuations based on industry-specific challenges, regulatory changes, and market sentiment. These may be above and beyond market-wide changes.   For investors who are willing to take on a bit more risk for the potential of higher returns, in the long term, this fund could be a suitable option, especially given the expected healthcare boom in India over the next few years.   However, the fund seeks to mitigate risk by investing in multiple industries within the healthcare space, providing a degree of diversification despite the thematic focus.   3. Investors with an investment horizon of 5+ years The Bajaj Finserv Healthcare Fund caters to those with a horizon of five years or more. Investors seeking short-term gains may not find it suitable.   4. Investors looking to diversify their equity portfolio with healthcare and wellness industries Adding the healthcare sector to a broad equity portfolio can provide a hedge against economic cycles that affect other sectors, such as technology or finance.   5. Investors looking for tactical allocation in their overall equity portfolio Finally, the Bajaj Finserv Healthcare Fund can also be a useful tool for tactical asset allocation. Investors often adjust their portfolios based on market conditions, and adding a healthcare fund could be a strategic decision based on the current economic landscape.   In summary, the Bajaj Finserv Healthcare Fund can be suitable for a wide range of investors, especially those seeking long-term growth, willing to take on higher risk, and looking for a tactical allocation in their portfolio. By focusing on megatrends in healthcare, it provides investors with an opportunity to invest in a sector that’s positioned for long-term growth potential. As always, be sure to carefully consider your financial goals and risk tolerance before making any investment decisions.   How to invest in Bajaj Finserv Healthcare Fund

Units can be purchased at a face value of Rs. 10 during the New Fund Offer period.

[ad_1] Bajaj Finserv Asset Management Limited recently launched the Bajaj Finserv Healthcare Fund,, a thematic fund that invests predominantly in industries and sectors that are tied to the healthcare space. The NFO period for this scheme began on December 6th, 2024, and is on till December 20th, 2024.   Bajaj Finserv Healthcare Fund   If you’re wondering if the Bajaj Finserv Healthcare Fund can be a suitable investment opportunity, this article tells you more about this scheme, the investment strategy, and the types of investors it may suit.   1. Investors seeking a long-term investment strategy The Bajaj Finserv Healthcare Fund follows the MEGATRENDS strategy, investing in large-scale and long-term changes that can shape healthcare in India and the world. Some of the megatrends in focus are:   Regulatory megatrends: There is an expected boost in the Contract Research and Manufacturing Services (CRAMS) segment, especially in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology   Economic megatrends: There is increased awareness about the importance of health insurance, but out-of-pocket expenses remain high. Health insurance coverage, as a result, is expected to rise significantly in the next few years.   Demographic megatrends: An ageing population and increased life expectancy has led to a greater demand for healthcare products and services.   Social megatrends: Greater awareness about health and wellness is resulting in increased expenditure on preventive healthcare, nutrition, fitness, and mental well-being   By focusing on these avenues, the Bajaj Finserv Healthcare Fund avoids chasing short-term trends and instead seeks instead to potentially capitalise on long-term trends with wide-ranging impacts.   2. Investors with a higher risk appetite Since the Bajaj Finserv Healthcare Fund is an equity scheme falling under the thematic fund category, it may entail higher risk than broad market equity funds. The fund targets sectors within the healthcare space, which can experience fluctuations based on industry-specific challenges, regulatory changes, and market sentiment. These may be above and beyond market-wide changes.   For investors who are willing to take on a bit more risk for the potential of higher returns, in the long term, this fund could be a suitable option, especially given the expected healthcare boom in India over the next few years.   However, the fund seeks to mitigate risk by investing in multiple industries within the healthcare space, providing a degree of diversification despite the thematic focus.   3. Investors with an investment horizon of 5+ years The Bajaj Finserv Healthcare Fund caters to those with a horizon of five years or more. Investors seeking short-term gains may not find it suitable.   4. Investors looking to diversify their equity portfolio with healthcare and wellness industries Adding the healthcare sector to a broad equity portfolio can provide a hedge against economic cycles that affect other sectors, such as technology or finance.   5. Investors looking for tactical allocation in their overall equity portfolio Finally, the Bajaj Finserv Healthcare Fund can also be a useful tool for tactical asset allocation. Investors often adjust their portfolios based on market conditions, and adding a healthcare fund could be a strategic decision based on the current economic landscape.   In summary, the Bajaj Finserv Healthcare Fund can be suitable for a wide range of investors, especially those seeking long-term growth, willing to take on higher risk, and looking for a tactical allocation in their portfolio. By focusing on megatrends in healthcare, it provides investors with an opportunity to invest in a sector that’s positioned for long-term growth potential. As always, be sure to carefully consider your financial goals and risk tolerance before making any investment decisions.   How to invest in Bajaj Finserv Healthcare Fund
