Sustainable Finance: The Essential Role of Climate Reporting in Investment Strategies
As the financial world evolves, there has never been a greater necessity for sustainable investment. An article from Inrate underlines how climate reporting for long-short portfolios and derivatives can no longer do without solid and comprehensive reporting.

𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: Active dialogue by investors and companies should facilitate better climate reporting, hence leading to better-informed decision-making.
Investors have a responsibility regarding their portfolios impact on the environment. By embracing clear climate reporting, we follow already emerging regulations but do our part for a greener tomorrow.

Real World Assets
The crypto centric nature of decentralised DeFi has created several barriers to entry for most of the investing and borrowing population of the world. Furthermore, the speculative and volatile nature of crypto collaterals and the yield thereon has given birth to many systemic shortcomings that causes further hindrance to widespread adoption of Decentralised Finance.

Social disconnection is antithetical to progressive development, healthy association depends your level of reasoning and expose you to different kinds of experience that will impact you to a higher degree. Confining only to enclave of your thoughts and actions keep you on a fruitless voyage of no discovery, such isolation will fuel loneliness, battling with yourself without any positive results to come up with. It is easier for people who disconnect themselves socially to fall into depression or suffer mental health issues, it creates a void that leave your life chasing shadows as opposed to substance.
In as much as people disconnect themselves socially, the reason will sprang up from the level of closeness they feel with loved ones and how they confide in them with private matters, or whether they have been breach of trust. Distancing yourself from loved ones and friends, and completely slam the door for whatever reason may be better solved and maintain your space, than starkly disengaged yourself from associating. It creates a burden that you have to carry along with you, than providing you with free mind to navigate through that space.
Those who completely slam door of socialisation between family and friends are in different terrain with those, who constantly visit and check on one another it creates that special space of belongingness and togetherness, it is social engineer for growth and provides valuable experience. A phone conversation with loved one after long day, can brighten the atmosphere and give it a different aura, it can serve as a source of strength and motivation to already jaded family member or friend, then it becomes another lifeline for survival, that’s what social disconnection can’t solve.
Social disconnection can come the other way, when it has to do with self-confident, someone who feel they are not good enough to belong or talk in a certain circle, or they lack the requisite standard to be accepted. It is about self-evaluation you have to start somewhere, talk to people who can relate with you, you don’t necessarily need to jump to that desired circle, you have to trust the process of getting yourself there, it might be a circle that you have to earn something before you can belong, if it is such importance and significance to your growth as a person and career wise.
It is a circle of networking, when you visit a family member or friend, they tend to benefit from it, when they are joined by other family members or friends, sharing experience in that circle may be something someone among them needed and may end up finding a companion. Disconnecting yourself socially create mental servitude, it pins you into that zone where you can only reason within, disconnecting yourself from people who are emotional attached to you, is suicidal but when this healthy association is bred and nurtured, it comes a place you run to not only when things are chaotic but also a cheering moment.

HECO: Socially Responsible Investing Backed By Strong Earnings

HECO: Socially Responsible Investing Backed By Strong Earnings Socially responsible investing combines the ambition to make money with the motivation to enact positive change in the world. It is a popular approach to finance that has been around for decades. However, in recent years, the concept has been catching on at an even faster pace. Since 2017, global investments based on ethical and social principles have increased by 34% and reached $30.7 trillion. In the U.S. alone, one in every six dollars under professional asset management is invested using socially responsible financial strategies. New research from Morningstar suggests these trends will continue growing, as nearly three-fourths of all investors are at least “moderately interested” in devoting long-term savings to sustainable investments.
One selection following these investment objectives is the Strategy Shares EcoLogical Strategy Fund (NYSEARCA: HECO). The underlying strategies guiding the ETF seek long-term capital appreciation, are ecologically focused, and backed by strong earnings results in core stock holdings. Since inception, investments in the Strategy Shares EcoLogical Strategy Fund have outperformed the MSCI ACWI TR Index by 7.36%. To achieve these goals of sustainability, the Strategy Shares EcoLogical Strategy Fund focuses on companies that are components of recognized environmentally focused indices. Investment strategies apply strict criteria to identify global businesses with emerging projects positioned to benefit from ecologically conscious legislation and cultural shifts in market consumption. During periods of normal market volatility, at least 80% of the portfolio allocation is devoted to green bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, equity, and fixed-income securities of ecologically-focused companies. At least 65% of total allocation is devoted to common stocks and fixed-income securities of ecologically-focused companies based in the U.S. The remaining portion of the allocation is devoted to ADRs and stocks connected to ecologically-focused businesses that are based outside the U.S.
The Strategy Shares EcoLogical Strategy Fund is broadly diversified across industry sectors and its positive outlook is supported by notable earnings results that have been generated during the market’s most recent reporting period. During the first-quarter, casualty and property insurer Travelers Companies (NYSE: TRV) beat the market’s consensus earnings forecasts on underwriting improvements and significant declines in catastrophe losses. Core earnings posted at $2.83 per share, with nearly $800 million in net income for the period. The EPS figure indicates annualized gains of 17% and the performance surpassed analyst expectations ($2.72 per share) by 4.04%. The revenue figure indicated annualized gains of 5.2% (at $7.67 billion) and comfortably surpassed Wall Street’s estimates calling for revenues of $7.1 billion. Catastrophe losses dropped by 45.5% on an annualized basis (to $193 million) and written premiums rose to $7.06 billion (a gain of 3.5%). Shares of Travelers Companies stock currently show YTD gains of 23.54%. Another market sector that continues to generate enhanced returns can be found in traditional payment networks. Major credit card companies have shown strength in digital payments to overcome disruption efforts of big tech companies like Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) and others. To capitalize on these trends, the Strategy Shares EcoLogical Strategy Fund includes exposure to these traditional payment networks with two names that have outperformed the S&P 500 by a wide margin in 2019. Mastercard (NYSE: MA) released first-quarter results that beat market forecasts for both earnings and revenue. Solid transaction volumes and a lift from new products/services propelled net income to $1.9 billion (EPS of $1.80). This represents a gain of 26.7% relative to the $1.5 billion in net income (EPS of $1.41) posted during the same period last year. Mastercard’s adjusted earnings were $1.78 per share during its most recent reporting period, which represents an annualized gain of 18.7% and was firmly above the market’s consensus estimates ($1.66 per share). Revenues increased from $3.58 billion last year to $3.89 billion (a gain of 6.7%) and this also beat analysts forecasts of $3.85 billion. Mastercard stock shares currently show YTD gains of 33.31%. Visa (NYSE: V) shares continue to reach new highs, even in cases where the rest of the market is declining. The company’s most recent quarterly report showed annualized gains of 8% in net revenues (at $5.5 billion) and a 17% annualized gain the bottom-line figure (EPS of $1.31). Payment volumes were higher by 8% (to $2.1 trillion) and this was accompanied by an increase of 9% in the number of total transactions (to 47.4 billion). Share repurchases of $2 billion also boosted EPS for the period. Visa’s revenue growth did show some evidence of slowing but management has noted rising volatility in currency markets as a peripheral factor which may prove to be temporary in nature. Shares of Visa stock currently show YTD gains of 23.27%. Key names in the technology sector (which represents 42.29% of allocation) include Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE), which also beat Wall Street's earnings targets for the fiscal first-quarter with adjusted EPS of $1.71 and sales of $2.6 billion. Consensus estimates were calling for EPS of $1.62 on sales of $2.55 billion. On an annualized basis, this performance indicates sales gains of 25% and EPS gains of 10%. Current-quarter earnings guidance was reduced to an adjusted $1.77 per share (with sales figures expected to come in at $2.7 billion). Previously, Wall Street analysts modeled second-quarter earnings of $1.88 per share on sales of $2.72 billion. However, even with these recent reductions, it should be noted that Adobe’s updated guidance implies annualized sales gains of 23.6% and earnings gains of 6.63%. Adobe shares are currently showing YTD gains of 21.45%.
For investors seeking well-diversified, long-term capital appreciation through ecologically focused investment strategies, the Strategy Shares EcoLogical Strategy Fund is one name that should be on the radar. Even with its recent moves higher, shares of HECO are still trading below their long-term premium/discount averages. This suggests that the Strategy Shares EcoLogical Strategy Fund is attractively valued at current levels. As core holdings continue to show evidence of consistent earnings strength, HECO finds itself in a strong position to continue producing gains in 2019. Read the full article

I found out the other day that some investment companies, like Nutmeg, allow you to choose socially responsible portfolios. It’s something that I never really questioned before, but now seems incredibly obvious: shouldn’t we know the types of businesses our savings support? I’m a little disappointed though to pay a premium for what must surely just be good business. Any advice from those more financially savvy? #sustainable #sustainability #ethicalinvesting #sociallyresponsibleinvesting #investing https://www.instagram.com/p/BuUaM0KhB2-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=waeboha9ysgy

DeFi with Brú (Part 1)- History of Finance
Brú Finance's Defi Series Traces The History Of Finance From Ancient Times And Discusses The Indian Banking Sector's Hundi System. The Series Aims To Explain How DeFi Works And Its Potential To Revolutionize The Financial Industry.
Welcome To Brú Finance’s Defi Series. This Series Aims To Provide Our Community And DeFi Enthusiasts With Detailed Explanations Of How Defi Works, Its Origin, Infrastructure, And Implications In The Financial Industry.
Over The Next Few Weeks, We Will Be Writing About DeFi. Join Us On The Journey With Brú Finance To Learn More About DeFi.
Let’s Start With The History Of Finance.
History of Finance
In The History Of Economy And Finance, Many Different Types Of Financial Systems Exist. From Ancient Rome To Modern-Day America, Finance Has Always Been An Essential Part Of Society.
In This Article, We Will Look At The Different Types Of Financial System And How They Have Played A Role In History, How They Have Been Used To Generate Wealth And Help Businesses Succeed, And How They Have Shaped The World.
The History Of Finance Can Be Traced Back To Ancient Mesopotamia, Where Traders And Bankers Made Deals For Centuries. In The 6th Century BC, The Sumerians Developed A System Of Writing Known As Cuneiform, Which Helped Them To Organize Their Transactions.
The First Banks Were Founded In Athens In 546 BC. In China, Merchants Started Trading With India In The 1st Century BC And Began To Learn About Banking. In India, The First Organized Banking System Was Set Up By The Buddha In 350 BC. From India, Indian Traders Started Trading With Southeast Asia And The Persian Gulf. In 914 AD, Buddhist Monks Traveled To Baghdad To Establish An Islamic Bank.
While We Argue That Today’s Financial System Is Plagued With Inefficiencies, It Is Much Better Than The Past Systems.
Did You Know That Initial Market Exchanges Were Peer-To-Peer?
A Barter System Requires The Exact Matching Of Two Parties’ Needs.
Non-Physical Transfer Of Money Originated In 1873 With Western Union.
The Pic Shows A Copy Of An Early Transfer For $300. Notice The Amount Of The Fee To $6.34 Or Roughly 3%.
It Is Remarkable That So Little Has Changed In 150 Years. Money Transfers Are Routinely More Expensive, And Credit Card Fees Are
The Current System Of Banking Has Mostly Stayed The Same In The Past 150 Years. While Digitization Was An Important Innovation, It Was An Innovation That Supported A Legacy Structure. The High Costs Associated With The Legacy System Spurred Further Innovations That We Now Refer To As Fintech.
Although This P2P Financing Has Revolutionized Banking, It Has Remained Almost Unchanged In The Past 150 Years.
Now That We Have Seen The Western Banking System Let’s Dive Into The History Of The Indian Banking System.
Did You Know That India Had A Unique And Complex Transfer System That Dates Back To The 8th Century, Way Earlier Than The P2P Barter System Of Western Union?
It Was Called The Hundi System. The Word Hundi Goes Back To Medieval India. This System Can Be Considered A Precursor To The Formal Banking Sector. The Interest Rates In Hundi Were Relatively High — 18% On Average And The Borrowers Usually Tend To Pay Interest Monthly.
Technically, A Hundi Was An Unconditional Order In Writing Made By A Person Directing Another To Pay A Certain Sum Of Money To A Person Named In The Order.
The Marwaris Were Pioneers Of Hundi Transactions, And As The Lines Of Communication And Transportation Increased During The Later Era, So Did The Business Empires Of Marwaris.
Hundis, Being A Part Of The Informal System, Have No Legal Status And Are Not Covered Under The Negotiable Instruments Act Of 1881. Though Generally Regarded As Bills Of Exchange, They Were More Often Used As Equivalents Of Cheques Issued By Indigenous Bankers.
Conclusion
Finance Is A Complex And Old Field That Has Dramatically Impacted The World. Over The Years, Finance Has Developed Various Methods And Tools To Help Businesses And Individuals Manage Their Finances. This Has Led To More Significant Opportunities For Individuals And Businesses, Making Finance One Of The Most Critical Aspects Of Economic Development.
With Technological Advances, Finance Is Now More Accessible To A Broader Audience And Has More Opportunities To Impact The Economy. It Is Essential That People Understand The History Of Finance So That They Can Future-Proof Themselves And Their Businesses.
In The Next Part Of This Series, We Will Look At How Finance Has Advanced With Technology And Is Changing The Way We Interact With The Financial Market.

Unlocking Stability in DeFi: Real-World Assets (RWAs) as a Solution
By #tokenizing physical assets such as property, commodities, and art on a #blockchain , RWAs create new financial products and services. Fractional ownership increases liquidity and reduces entry barriers for people, while the use of RWAs in DeFi can also help reduce volatility.
This is because the value of the assets is rooted in their underlying value, which can be verified, and not solely dependent on market sentiment or speculation.
For example, tokenized Agri-commodities provide more stability and can be purchased with fractional ownership. Additionally, commodities such as #gold and #oil can be used as #collateral in lending and borrowing platforms to provide a more stable value for loans and reduce the risk of default.
