Dabei habe ich den ETF bewusst aus meinem Portfolio herausgerechnet, um eine saubere Gegenüberstellung zu ermöglichen.

 Wall St rallied on Tuesday as investors focus on the outcome of US and China trade talks which entered a second day in London. The S&P500 gained 0.55% to post a third straight winning day while the Dow Jones added 0.25% and the Nasdaq ended the day up 0.63%. Investors are hoping a stable deal can be done, with some officials saying the negotiations are ‘going well and they expect the talks to continue all day again'.In Europe overnight, markets closed mixed as investors brace for US – China trade updates. The STOXX 600 rose 0.08%, Germany's DAX fell 0.58%, the French CAC rose 0.17% and, in the UK, the FTSE 100 ended the day up 0.24% just shy of its previous record set. Across the APAC region on Tuesday, markets in the region closed mixed as investors await details of the US – China trade talks. Japan's Nikkei rose 0.32%, China's CSI index lost 0.51%, Hong Kong's Hang Seng closed flat and South Korea's Kospi Index ended the day up 0.56%.The local market started the holiday-shortened trading week with a fresh record close buoyed by strength among energy stocks amid the rising price of oil.Progress in talks between China and the US on Monday night through a 6-hour meeting and NAB business confidence data for May out on Tuesday morning beating expectations were the key drivers of the local index posting a 0.84% gain on Tuesday. Investor sentiment is very news and noise driven right now so any positive news and outlook drives markets higher.Yesterday, we had the release of NAB Business confidence for May released and Westpac Consumer Confidence for June released with business confidence rising 2 index points for May, well exceeding the fall to -3 index points economists were expecting, but consumer confidence rose just 0.5% which fell short of the 2.5% rise markets had expected as consumer fears remain elevated on the global trade uncertainty front.MonashIVF (ASX:MVF) tanked over 25% yesterday after news surfaced that the company has encountered a second IVF embryo implantation incident with the wrong embryo being inserted into a patient, marking the second event of its kind to hit the headlines in a month.Gold miners retreated on Tuesday as investor appetite for growth stocks regained momentum amid the sliding price of gold on the back of trade negotiation progress between the world's largest economies.What to watch today: The Aussie dollar has strengthened against the greenback to buy 65.19 US cents, 94.47 Japanese Yen, 48.11 British Pence and 1 New Zealand dollar and 8 cents.On the commodities front this morning, oil has pulled back from yesterday's spike to trade 0.91% lower at US$64.68/barrel, gold is down 0.1% at US$3322/ounce and iron ore is down 0.6% at US$95.62/tonne.Ahead of Wednesday's trading session in Australia the SPI futures are anticipating the ASX will open the day up 0.28%. Trading ideas:Bell Potter has increased the 12-month price target on Catapult Group (ASX:CAT) and maintain a hold rating on the leading sports technology company following the company's announcement of its latest acquisition of US-based Perch for an initial consideration of US$18m. The analyst sees the acquisition will provide a large cross-sell opportunity to its existing 3600 pro teams.And Trading Central has identified a bullish signal on Yancoal (ASX:YAL) following the formation of a pattern over a period of 60-days which is roughly the same amount of time the share price may rise from the close of $5.51 to the range of $6.25 to $6.45 according to standard principles of technical analysis.

Wall Street started the new trading week with all three major benchmarks closing in the green, despite the tensions in global trade. The Dow Jones gained 0.08%, the S&P500 up 0.41%, while the Nasdaq gained 0.67%. European markets closed mixed overnight as President Trump's 50% steel tariffs inflate EU trade tensions. The STOXX600 closed 0.14% lower, the German DAX down 0.28%, France's CAC down 0.19%, while the FTSE 100 was slightly higher up just 0.02%. Locally on Monday the ASX200 posted a 0.24% loss to start the new trading month lower, as energy and utility stocks weighed on market gains, while only 3 of the 11 sectors ended the day in the green.  Brickworks (ASX:BKW) soared over 25% on Monday after the company announced a $14 billion merger with Washington H. Soul Pattinson (ASX:SOL), with the arrangement initially valuing BKW shares at a 10.1% premium to the previous closing price. The market's reaction signals investors are positive about the strategic outlook for the merger and diversification the new merger offers in the building, property and diversified financials space. What to watch today:The Australian market is expected to rebound, with the SPI futures suggesting a 0.82% rise at the open this morning. In commodities, Crude oil has rallied 3.67%, trading at US$63.00 per barrel, following OPEC+'s announcement of a steady production increase. The price of gold is also in the green, up 2.78% to US$3,380.76 an ounce While iron ore has dropped over 3%, trading at US$95.95 per tonne, so keep watch of companies such as Mineral Resources (ASX:MIN) or Fortescue (ASX:FMG). Trading ideasBell Potter maintains its Buy rating on Bega Cheese (ASX:BGA) as the diversified food company continues to execute against its strategy to deliver FY28 EBITDA of more than $250 million. Bell Potter's price target remains unchanged at $7.00, and at BGA's current share price of $5.55, this implies 26% share price growth in a year. And Trading Central have identified a bearish signal in Goodman Group (ASX:GMG) indicating that the stock price may fall from the close of $32.64 to the range of $26.25 to $27.50 over 29 days, according to the standard principles of technical analysis.

We look at The CEO: The Rise and Fall of Britain's Captains of Industry, coming out in June 2025. See mor about the book here. The CEO: The Rise and Fall of Britain's Captains of Industry reviewed In many ways this book is a bit of a horror show in terms of management for British industries. The authors do a good job of taking us through a variety of types of leader. This is informative and well written, however the constant theme seems to be, regardless of their origin or training, they generally still ended up making either a real mess of it all, or at least not performing optimally. Sadly, as the authors also clearly point out, the only constant is the increasingly dizzy rise of the renumeration packages for this motley crew of incompetents. The approach seems to get ever shorter and shorter in terms of time frames and KPIs to aim for. To compensate for their likely impending dismissal, the renumeration packages are ever more ludicrous and higher and higher multiples of the average working person's salary. This book is well written and researched, but it also became ever more depressing as you were reminded of the growing rogues gallery of poorly performing, but increasingly well paid CEOs that have had to be endured in many British companies. It is a challenging time when competence, ability or ethical integrity seem to be less and less in demand for leading companies or even countries. Here's hoping that this book helps to at least raise the level of debate even while we have to endure as series of self serving leaders. More about the authors Michael Aldous is a business historian and Senior Lecturer at Queen's Business School, Queen's University Belfast. He is a founder and co-director of the Long Run Institute (LRI), which uses historical analysis to help senior executives and policy makers make better decisions. John D. Turner is Professor of Finance and Financial History, Queen's Business School, Queen's University Belfast, and a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences. His previous Cambridge University Press book Boom and Bust: A Global History of Financial Bubbles (2021) was named an Economics Book of the Year by the Financial Times. More about The CEO After analysing 1500 CEOs, what does a good one look like? High cognitive ability; strong organisational and interpersonal skills; clear values and personal purpose; has judgement from career and life experience (so aged 50 or over) History reveals why CEOs are fat cats this study of Britain's corporate history reveals that corporate fat cats emerged because of the emasculation of private sector trade unions and changing social norms about pay inequality. We need CEOs need to move slow and build things (not move fast and break things) By the 1970s, CEOs began getting sacked in ever greater numbers. By this century, over 40% of CEOs were dismissed either for poor performance or because their companies were taken over; tenures fell too from an average of 10 years to under six. The trend of CEOs spending much less time in the role can be traced back to deregulation and privatization policies (of Thatcher era) but also to the financialization of companies and the wider economy. So, how can CEOs make meaningful change? Who makes it to the top? Differing pathways influenced how CEOs historically operated and are perceived. They have been (in historical order): Aristocratic amateurs; Families and founders; Managers; Technocrats It was not until 1997 that Marjorie Scardino became the first woman and also the first mother to become CEO of a FTSE 100 company. Across the century, women have worked to overturn deeply embedded social and cultural stereotypes. Back at the beginning of the twentieth century, even though women made up nearly half of the shareholders in some companies, shareholder voting registers simply de-platformed them from the list of those shareholders who held the qualifying number of shares to almost automatically stand as a director. Being a director was,...

Episode 75Leadership in the Digital Age: Staying Human in a High Tech WorldSUMMARYToday we're exploring something that touches every one of us whether we're leading a start up, a global brand, or simply navigating change in our professional lives. The digital world is accelerating, AI, automation, remote work, Zoom calls, dashboards, and data streams. These tools promise greater efficiency, better access, and faster decision making. But they can also create disconnect, burnout, and fractured team cultures if we're not intentional. So today, I want to explore how we can leverage technology without losing what makes us effective leaders: connection, trust, empathy, and presence.KEY TAKEAWAYSRemote leadership requires intentional culture building. Trust, transparency, and regular connection are key.Great leaders adapt to new tech, but stay anchored in human values. Use AI, data, and automation to serve, not to replace.You don't need to be a tech expert to lead in a digital world. You need to be open and adaptable.Use data to guide decisions but don't lose emotional intelligence. The best leaders combine hard data with human insight.Tech should enhance wellbeing, not destroy it. Set boundaries, lead by example, and advocate digital recovery time.ABOUT THE HOST James is an experienced mentor, coach and thought leader who works with a range of clients from FTSE 100 companies, SME´s the NHS and wider public and not for profit sectors.His twenty year career in elite sport initially as a professional rugby player but predominantly as a chief executive has given him an invaluable insight in managing the success, failures and pressures associated with leadership at the highest level.As a high performance coach James specialises in enhancing resilience and leadership development. He is a passionate advocate of the notion that to find lasting fulfilment we need to take a holistic view of high performance and create it in both our professional roles and personal lives.

En el Radar Empresarial de hoy analizamos el recorte de plantilla que anunció este miércoles Burberry. La compañía de moda británica despedirá a 1700 trabajadores en puestos de todo el mundo. Supone una quinta parte de su plantilla mundial. Es la forma que tiene su CEO desde julio del año pasado, Joshua Schulman, de darle la vuelta a la difícil situación financiera que atraviesa la compañía desde hace tiempo. Sus resultados del primer trimestre confirman esta deriva. Perdió 75 millones en el año fiscal y redujo su beneficio operativo un 94%. De los 418 millones del mismo periodo del año anterior a 26 millones en estos tres primeros meses. A pesar de esto, el valor fue el más destacado dentro del London Stock Exchange. Al mercado le gustó el recorte de plantilla y los resultados aunque peores que el año pasado, superaron las previsiones de los analistas. Todo esto hizo que sus títulos subieran un 17%. Para Miguel Méndez, analista independiente, la compañía lo “había pasado muy mal en 2023”, por lo que estas noticias de recortes “siempre son bienvenidas”. 2023 fue el principio de una crisis que se extiende hasta hoy. A finales de ese año, el mercado ya advertía que la marca iba a sufrir con la desaceleración post pandemia que afectó a muchas marcas de lujo, incluida la británica. Ya entonces, sus ejecutivos aseguraban que era muy difícil cumplir con los objetivos anuales de ventas. 2024 confirmó la tendencia. El año pasado el contexto mundial atizó con fuerza a las marcas exclusivas europeas, que sufrieron como pocas el descenso en el consumo de China, gran comprador de casas como Hermés, Kering o Louis Vuitton. En el horizonte aparecían soluciones como ser adquirida por Moncler, pero la compañía optó por cambiar las cosas desde dentro: en julio de 2024 es nombrado CEO Joshua Schulman. Lleva ligado a la moda 30 años y en su amplío currículum destaca elevar a los altares y poner en el mapa a la marca Jimmy Choo. Schulman es el hombre elegido para llevar a cabo esta reestructuración que devuelva a los días de gloria a la exclusiva marca. Está claro que la moda es cíclica y para Schulman la clave es “reinventarse”. Sí Burberry puede mutar en Ave Fénix puede empezar con comienzos como los de ayer. El valor fue el más atractivo del London Stock Exchange, índice eso sí, al que tuvo que mudarse después de ser expulsado del FTSE 100. Entonces, la pérdida de la mitad del valor de sus acciones hizo que el Índice la cambiara por la aseguradora Hiscox. ¿Volverá Burberry a cotizar en la bolsa de referencia británica?

How Inclusive Hiring Grows a Stronger, More Profitable Recruitment Firm, with Adam Tobias, Ep #256

What if discovering your neurodivergent could unlock a deeper sense of purpose—and make your recruitment business more impactful? In this episode, Adam Tobias shares how getting diagnosed with ADHD and autism in his 40s reshaped not only how he works, but why he works. That discovery ignited a new mission: helping organizations remove the hidden barriers that exclude brilliant, underrepresented talent. Adam Tobias is the co-founder of Inventum Group, a purpose-driven recruitment and consulting firm based in London and Johannesburg. With over 25 years in the industry, Adam has built a company that's as values-led as it is commercially successful. Today, he advises clients ranging from FTSE 100 companies to fast-growth SMEs on how to recruit inclusively and build more resilient teams. Episode Outline and Highlights [02:40] How Adam got into recruiting, leading to his 20-year-old recruitment firm. [07:50] Avoiding ego-based growth: What Adam considers his lessons and learnings in his recruitment journey. [15:04] Key elements to success. [17:55] How finding out about his neurodivergence became a stepping-stone for inclusive consulting. [24:40] Adam's discovery of his neurodivergence. [34:46] Strategies that help Adam manage ADHD and autism at work. [38:33] Channeling Adam's advocacy as a differentiator. [45:57] Inventum's business model. [48:38] The top hiring barriers for underrepresented candidates—and how to fix them. [56:39] Discussion on behaviour, cultures, and values. [59:00] The value of candidate experience. Turning Purpose into a Differentiator Being diagnosed with autism and ADHD past 40, Adam had a renewed perspective on how to help clients be more inclusive in their hiring process. Once he uncovered his neurodivergence, he stopped trying to fit a mold and started building around what actually worked for him, leading with empathy, structure, and a culture where people could just be themselves. This inspired him to develop The Inclusive Recruiter, a CPD-certified training program that's now core to Inventum's offering. It's not just an add-on; it's embedded into how they hire, train, and work with clients. “So what we're doing now is helping clients fix their hiring processes—not just make placements,” Adam shared. “It's not about how well someone interviews. It's about how well they'll perform over time.” How did this benefit Adam's recruitment firm? The ROI of Inclusive Hiring Adam believes that inclusive recruitment is more than a moral imperative—it's a business advantage. Structured, unbiased interviews. Clearer job specs. Candidate experience that makes people want to re-engage. These aren't just “nice-to-haves”—they improve long-term placement success. They also turned this mission into a consulting arm of the business. Inventum has added new revenue streams while deepening client relationships. Whether it's through advisory, workshops, or training, Adam's team is proving that purpose can drive profit. “I think we've done well in a tough market because we've stayed true to who we are,” he said. “That's what's made us resilient.” Top Hiring Barriers for Underrepresented Candidates Adam shared insights on the commonly observed barriers when it comes to underrepresented groups and how they would advise their clients in terms of solutions. Below are outlined common challenges and recommended solutions: Challenges • Limited Outreach & Narrow Channels • Overloaded Job Descriptions • Masculine-Coded Language in Job Ads • Reliance on Outdated Job Descriptions • Unclear Must-Haves vs. Nice-to-Haves • Unstructured Interview Processes • Culture Fit Bias Solutions • Proactive Candidate Engagement • Simplify Job Descriptions • Audit Job Ad Language • Start from Scratch with Job Specs • Ditch the “Desirable” List • Structured Interviews with Scoring • Reduces bias and makes evaluations more objective. • Use Multiple Independent Interviewers • Focus on Values, Not "Culture Fit" • Client Education & Conversations Adam Tobias Bio and Contact Info Adam is the co-founder of Inventum Group, a boutique recruitment and consulting firm focused on building inclusive workplaces. With teams in London and Johannesburg, Inventum partners with companies across finance, marketing, legal, and HR to deliver talent with purpose.
