The NIC December’s Newsletter is here !
In our Macro Overview section, Analysts from both divisions will cover broad macro themes while reviewing major economics news from the past month. In our Deeper Dive section, Duarte Alves Pereira elaborates on leveraged loans and its implications on financial stability. Moreover, in our Regional View, Pedro Leão examines the Brexit deal and how it may impact possible trade deals and UK economic sectors.
Our Investment Banking Division will guide you through November’s M&A overall activity. Read about Harris Corporation merger with L3 Technologies Inc., IBM acquisition of Red Hat and SAP SE acquisition of Qualtrics. Additionally, get a detailed overview on what happened to Spotify and McColl, as well as consider our opinion on SoftBank’s IPO.
Our Financial Markets Division will present the monthly results of the NIC Fund, an active relative return fund investing across four different asset classes: Equities, Fixed Income, Commodities and Currencies. The analysts will also provide commentary on each of the four major asset classes through analysis of the past month’s major market moves. The active positioning of the NIC Fund in November was inferior to the benchmark, mostly due to our exposure to equities – a development we would like to reverse in the upcoming months. Amidst markets turmoil and volatility we plan to adjust our fund accordingly.
Lastly, Lisa Preußler examines the role of green assets in investing, Nina Kusnirova evaluates Christmas behavioural biases, Cong Phuoc analyses Italy’s proposed budget plan and Mariana Costa glances at Brexit implications.
