Last week, Bank of England ("BoE") Governor Andrew Bailey reaffirmed a cautious policy stance, highlighting the UK economy's stagnation despite a slightly stronger fourth quarter Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”). Inflation surprised on the upside, rising to 3% in January - its highest in 10 months - driven by transport and food costs. Wage growth showed mixed signals, with official data indicating resilience but private surveys pointing to a slowdown. The job market weakened, with rising redundancies ahead of April's National Insurance hike. Retail sales unexpectedly surged in January, but consumer confidence hit its lowest level since Labour took office. Corporate insolvencies reached a five-year-high, particularly in construction and retail. Meanwhile, manufacturing volumes continued to decline, although future expectations improved...Stocks featured:Centrica, Glencore and Lloyds Banking GroupTo find out more about the investment management services offered by Walker Crips, please visit our website:https://www.walkercrips.co.uk/This podcast is intended to be Walker Crips Investment Management's own commentary on markets.

The UK's power grid is undergoing a huge shift towards renewable energy, but running homes and businesses solely on this new form of electricity will be a delicate balancing act and will pose new choices for consumers.Evan Davis and guests discuss the challenge of matching supply - from wind and solar - with an increased demand from electric vehicles and homes using heat pumps rather than gas boilers. Part of the solution could be consumers themselves - homes with EVs, solar panels or battery storage could act like mini power plants, sending energy back to the grid, as well as taking from it, and getting paid in the process. But that two-way exchange could bring harder decisions - would you let your energy company switch off your fridge for an hour to ease pressure on the grid? Evan is joined by: Cordi O'Hara, president of UK electricity distribution, National Grid; Hamish Phillips, net zero business development director, Centrica; Jordan Brompton, co-founder and chief marketing officer, Myenergi.Production team: Producer: Simon Tulett Researcher: Drew Hyndman Editor: Matt Willis Sound: Jonny Baker and Tim Heffer Production co-ordinator: Rosie Strawbridge

London's FTSE 100 has plunged this morning as a horde of blue chips slid on their second-quarter results, while the backdrop of a continued US tech sell-off lingers. Lloyds Bank shares dropped at the open despite it reporting a solid set of first-half results, with all the other banks following suit and trading lower. Profits at the UK's largest lender came in slightly ahead of forecasts and the interim dividend was hiked by 15%. Rentokil, the pest management service, was one of the largest fallers after management trimmed profit guidance due to extra investment. Nevertheless, its interim results showed progress in North America, a key area of investor concern after it caused last year's profit warning. British Gas owner Centrica was the FTSE 100's biggest faller in the early hours of trading after its profits tumbled as gas prices normalise and the effects of the bumper earnings made last year begin to wash through. Stripping those exceptional gains out, profits still halved to £1 billion, from £2.1 billion, but the British Gas owner upped its interim dividend by 13%. Others with results out included Vodafone and BT Group, both of which slipped lower, while Unilever rallied on improved margins despite missing its sales guidance. #proactiveinvestors #marketreport #ftse #ftse100 #footsie #lloyds #rentokill #centrica #britishgas #vodafone #unilever #btgroup #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Of course this is something we've been warning of for many years. That they would force people into 15 Minute Cities with a new CBDC replacement of the dollar which is attached to carbon credits and social credit. With the carbon credits, they will track you on your bank account and on the street. They will also track you in your home by forcing you to use smart meters which will tell the government how much gas, electricity and water you use on a regular basis to ensure you will only be rationed what they believe you deserve as they collapse the food and electric supply on purpose. Chris O'Shea, the CEO of Centrica says it should be mandatory to have smart meters on your home. He said this at a Parliamentary hearing. He told MPs: “In order to have the proper smart grid, that is required to keep costs low in the future and have a responsive grid – everyone should have a smart meter. One of the things we should consider is whether this should be a voluntary program or a mandatory program." They are going for broke as they force digital IDs all over the world, lock people up in some countries for going against carbon credits, put carbon credits on bank accounts throughout the US, Canada and the UK and bring in social credit. All just in time for the climate hoax to reach a precipice with farms being shut down en masse, attacks on the supply chain and grid, "World War 3" and civil war. How convenient.

Welcome to Allocator's Edge, a Value Perspective podcast mini-series where we will be engaging in conversations with some of the world's top capital allocators. In this everchanging landscape of heightened inflation and interest rates, we aim to unravel how and why capital allocators make the decisions that they do. Join us as we explore the nuances between healthcare foundations, examining the impact of inflation on endowments and the strategic choices between share buybacks and dividends for pension schemes. In this miniseries we aim to shed light on the inner workings of capital allocation, helping both investment teams and listeners gain a better understanding of mandates, global interplay and the intricate dance between strategy and reality. New episodes of the Allocator's Edge will be released on alternating Thursdays. In this episode we are joined by Chetan Gosh. Chetan joined Schroders in 2022 as part of the Outsourced Chief Investment Officer (OCIO) Solutions team. You may recall our discussion on OCIO from our recent episode with Jim Dunn in the US. Today we'll chat with Chetan about what that role looks like in the UK, including his aim to be the provider of choice for OCIO and Fiduciary Management Services. Before joining Schroders, Chetan was the CIO of Centrica's pension scheme arrangements and the firm's CIO for 12 years. There, his role covered investment strategy considerations, asset class and manager research, and liaison with investment advisors. Previous to Centrica, Chetan developed a fiduciary management offering at an asset manager, following his start as a pensions actuary. In this episode, Juan and Chetan sat down to discuss what is an OCIO; the challenges of the UK pension industry and all of its different schemes; caps on fees; runs to passives and the newest entrant on the scene – alternatives; how the gilts crisis impacts the industry and finally the impact of inflation.

Tamsin Lishman joins Bryony this week to talk heat pumps. Tamsin is CEO of Kensa Group, a Cornwall-based manufacturer and installer of ground source heat pumps. Kensa is the UK's only manufacturer of ground source heat pumps. Both air source and ground source heat pumps are rapidly growing technologies, and Tamsin believes that Kensa's heat pumps can - and will - be deployed to electrify domestic heating in the UK. On a recent episode of Cleaning Up, Fatih Birol, Executive Director of the IEA, argued that heat pumps are "the closest thing to a silver bullet" we have in the race to net-zero. In over two decades, Kensa has saved over 1 million tonnes of carbon through ground source heat pump installations. The Kensa Group is partly owned by Legal & General Capital, part of Legal & General PLC, and Octopus Energy. Tamsin was appointed CEO of Kensa Group in July 2023. Previously, she had stints at EnergyNest and Centrica. She holds a Master of Engineering from Oxford University.    Links See Kensa's website here: https://www.thekensagroup.com  Read the IEA's report on the future of heat pumps: https://www.iea.org/reports/the-future-of-heat-pumps (For UK viewers) Check out the UK government's tool to see if a heat pump could be suitable for your home: https://www.gov.uk/check-heat-pump Read this Guardian piece on heat pump installations in the UK: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/jan/08/greener-cheaper-much-warmer-heat-pump-owners-laud-their-new-system Read about Kensa's recent fundraise of £70m from Octopus and Legal&General, with the help of EcoPragma Capital, here: https://www.kensaheatpumps.com/news-blog/pump-it-up-octopus-energy-and-legal-general-make-britains-biggest-investment-in-ground-source-heat-pumps/

A new breed of traders is upending Europe's energy markets, making huge profits from the region's transition to renewable energy. In a Bloomberg article, they go on to note that anonymous firms in Denmark are using computer algorithms, weather data, and meteorological know how to trade electricity contracts. So recently, when fog set in over Eastern Europe, reducing the solar power generation, the traders, computers snapped up some contracts, betting correctly that the short term Electricity prices would spike in Hungary, and they made millions of dollars from just a few minutes of price swings until the fog lifted. Now, Phil, this is really interesting because they're up in Aalborg and Aarhus, Denmark, in their offices, with a bunch of computers, evidently, and trading on the electricity market, so it has wide ramifications in terms of, Money exchange and what the average citizen is going to pay for electricity if you have traders with that sort of technology attacking the market. And this is not very different than what Enron was doing right back in California days. Philip Totaro: Sort of, but it's, I would actually say it's more equivalent to what happening with energy traders in, that year cut market in the United States or, other places in the world where they have a pretty well established, wholesale market, this is I'd classify it as a new breed only from the perspective that again, you already have some of the same companies like Dunce Commodities or RWE or Centrica already have energy trading houses,and it's how they balance their own generation and power offtake. but a lot of these companies are coming in, like you're saying, and they're just using, weather prediction and, algorithms and things like that to, to try and, work the market as much as they can. I don't know, it's interesting, because at the end of the day, it's capitalism at its best, but it is probably going to end up being bad for consumers, both, residential customers and,corporate power off takers because, most of the time while you can lock in a fixed price contract, the overwhelming majority of projects throughout Europe in general are not necessarily on a fixed price power off take contract for especially for renewables, wind, solar, and even battery storage. it's gonna be interesting if the EU decides to start regulating, even Denmark has even suggested that they might try to clamp down a little bit on this, and,the traders weren't that happy about, saying, hey, you're gonna, you're gonna take all this,food off our table, but they, I think it was 20, Yeah. Yeah. In 2022, they made something like 5 billion in revenue,

Otherwise, nothing will happen.”“When it's something that affects you…ten years is too long… You want change now.”“If you address things head-on, you stand a better chance of being able to solve issues. If you skirt around it and don't want to say the word (racism) - nothing will ever change.”32 mins What would Bienosa do differently in her career if she had her time again?“Investing in a mentor or a coach is something I didn't do early enough.”34 mins What is the difference between a mentor and a coach?39 mins Looking back at public relations' DE&I journey - how does Bienosa think PR is doing?40 mins What KPIs does Bienosa look for when assessing a sector's progress on DE&I?

“No hay frescura, estamos en una situación de indefinición a pesar de ser una semana importante”.

Mercados bursátiles que suben ligeramente a la espera de los comentarios de Jerome Powell sobre la trayectoria futura de la política monetaria. El experto indica que el Ibex 35 tiene que centrar su atención en los 8.900 puntos después de acumular caídas mensuales en octubre del 4,3%. “Mientras estemos por encima de ese nivel las posibilidades de rebote existen”, apunta. Durante el Consultorio de Bolsa, Miguel Méndez, ha analizado los títulos de Cellnex, Adobe, Stellantis, Centrica y Telefónica entre otros.

In this episode of Lessons I Learned in Law, Scott Brown speaks to Ailsa Zoya Longmuir, General Counsel for Centrica Energy Marketing & Trading and Centrica Business Solutions.  Ailsa has been with Centica for 12 years and is responsible for all Legal, Compliance and Regulatory Affairs matters for these business units globally. She is a  leading Executive Sponsor for Diversity & Inclusion and Charitable Initiatives and is also chairwoman of Centrica Energy Trading A/S' board. Ailsa shares the three lessons she's learned in law including:·      Isolate the issue. Try to advise the business on what they need to know, rather than overdelivering with unnecessary information. ·      Ask why!  You need to fully understand the business and its goals in order to effectively advise. ·      Trust your instincts. If you have a gut feeling about something, it is quite often correct!  Ailsa explains the structure of the legal team at Centrica, and why she thinks legal teams are integral to the success of the business they're advising. Including the legal team in decision making will ‘improve their commerciality in the long run, and give them the ability to come up with more creative legal solutions to make what the business wants to happen, happen'.  Ailsa also reveals the impact that the Russia-Ukraine war has had on Centrica as a business and the energy market more broadly.  Presented by Scott Brown of Heriot Brown Legal Recruitment.  Follow Heriot Brown:Twitter | LinkedIn |  Facebook | InstagramThis episode of Lessons I Learned in Law is brought to you by Beamery.Beamery is an AI-powered talent platform, designed to hire candidates faster, develop the skills of your workforce, and increase employee retention.Find out more at Beamery.com
