A convergence of technologies is set to revolutionize how physicians examine the body for signs of cancer.

The official term for such searches is “endoluminal”—within a tubular organ or structure. Advances include the integration of CT scanning for preprocedural mapping of the search, 3D imaging, electronic rapid sensing to track the catheter, flexible ultrathin catheters and, in particular, the ability to use a computer to robotically control the placement of the device itself. The robotic placement and control of the catheter maximize precision and stability, at a level far beyond...

Satellite technology could improve the way we monitor emissions and other potential environmental impacts—what could this mean for investors?

Climate change remains a pressing issue globally, with many scientists highlighting the potential impacts if the Earth’s temperature rises above the 1.5°C increase targeted by the Paris Agreement. Accordingly, many governments and corporations have pledged to reduce their carbon footprint and emissions that contribute to climate change. In our view, satellites can play an increasingly valuable role in the accurate monitoring of their progress.

Equities with dividends >2.5% appear to trade close to their greatest relative discount since the unwind of the tech boom of the late 1990s.

In the first six months of 2022, the typical 60/40 portfolio declined by double-digits, marking the worst performance for this asset allocation mix since 1932. The main culprit was inflation. Higher interest rates have hurt fixed income markets, and higher discount rates have weighed on equity markets, especially those stocks with high valuations. In the current financial market turmoil, where can investors look to help offset the pressures of inflation?
