Roxanna Islam, Head of Sector and Industry Research at VettaFi, discusses PCEF — the Invesco Closed-End Fund Income Composite ETF — which she considers the bellwether measure of the closed-end fund industry, a parallel to the Standard & Poor's 500 but for a closed-end space that is rapidly changing. Islam talks about how the ETF — which recently celebrated its 15th anniversary and has $800 million in assets — has changed over the years, how its approach has changed and how it stacks up to newer players in the space and why ETFs are particularly good representing niche industries and investment areas.  

Rethink career success by testing, adapting, and staying open to unexpected opportunities.Career planning isn't as straightforward as we often assume—but according to Dorie Clark, that's actually a good thing. Instead of following a rigid path, she believes we should be “treating our careers like a series of experiments”—testing, iterating, and staying open to unexpected opportunities."People assume they need to have everything mapped out for the next twenty years," Clark explains. "But in reality, careers are built through testing, learning, and adapting—just like a scientific hypothesis."As a bestselling author and career strategist, Clark has spent years studying how professionals can future-proof their careers in an unpredictable world. She shares why informational interviews, LinkedIn strategy, and quarterly career check-ins are essential tools for anyone looking to make a career shift. “You don't want to be so mired in your plan that you can't take advantage of unexpected opportunities,” she says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Clark joins host Matt Abrahams to challenge traditional career advice and explore strategic personal branding, the power of weak ties in networking, and why “reinvention isn't a one-time event—it's a habit.”This episode is brought to you by LinkedIn.

BONUS: The Future of Agility, Insights from Industry Research with Simon Powers Is Agile really dead? What does this wide research from industry reveal?  In this detailed, and insightful episode, we explore the current state and future of agility with Simon Powers, founder of The Deeper Change Academy. Simon shares insights from his comprehensive survey conducted between October and December 2024, which included 311 survey responses, 15 case studies, and 8 in-depth interviews with senior leaders. The Current State of Agility The research reveals that while there's been a decline in traditional agile roles and certifications since October 2023, approximately 70% of organizations continue to invest in agile practices and transformations. However, these initiatives are often being rebranded and restructured, moving away from traditional "agile transformation" terminology. "Organizations are still embracing agility and moving forward with change, but what they're doing is that the names they're using are changing. People aren't necessarily being employed as agile coaches, but the agile coaching responsibilities are still required within organizations." Leadership Development and Organizational Structure A critical finding shows that leadership development in many organizations has stalled, creating two distinct organizational patterns: Organizations focused primarily on operational efficiencies, resulting in decreased agility Companies that have embraced coaching as a management tool and invested in leadership development "The culture is very different depending on where you sit. When you're constantly competing against a head count of a developer versus that of a coach, you're less able to take the necessary risks, talk to the right people, do bolder experiments, and have more of an effect within the organization." The Impact of Funding Models The research identified that the funding model for agile initiatives significantly impacts their success. Centrally funded transformation efforts tend to be more successful than those funded through departmental headcount, as they provide greater authority and ability to drive change across the organization. "Where people are hired or paid for within the head count, the overwhelming majority - like 90% of people who are in that position - are reporting that they do not have the authority to actually carry out the roles that they have responsibility for." Collaboration and Remote Work The survey revealed interesting insights about optimal collaboration patterns in the post-pandemic era: The sweet spot for office presence appears to be 2-3 days per week Full remote work can significantly reduce collaboration effectiveness Physical presence remains important for developing leadership skills and team dynamics "Being at home 100% of the time is a big reduction of collaboration and working on things and growing these skill sets that are needed in leadership as well as within the teams." Future Trends and Challenges Looking ahead, the research highlights several key areas that will shape the future of agility: Team structures remain a critical factor in software delivery capability The need for better strategy tools at senior leadership levels The importance of breaking down silos in software development The continued evolution of agile practices to meet increasing complexity "Organizations are going to need to sort out these problems that we've been slowly solving through agility for the last 20 years. We're just going to be continuing on, but what flavor? I don't know." About Simon Powers Simon Powers is the founder of The Deeper Change Academy and author of "Change: A Practitioner's Guide to Enterprise Coaching." With over 20 years of leadership experience, Simon empowers HR leaders and department heads to create thriving, human-centered workplace cultures through tailored coaching, strategic advisory, and transformational programs.

Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, Peter Burke T.D. has announced the successful applicants to the latest round of the Capital Equipment Call, administered by Enterprise Ireland (EI) through the Technology Gateway and EI/IDA Technology Centre Programmes. Ten successful projects from across the third-level sector have secured €12.1m in funding to improve the capabilities of the existing Technology Gateways and EI/IDA Technology Centres by investing at a scale that allows them to bridge the gap between their existing capabilities and the state of the art. With individual awards of up to €2 million available the equipment funded through this Call will become an engine of economic development for local companies, in particular Small and Medium Enterprises who could not afford to invest at this scale. The new equipment will particularly help companies develop new products and services in areas focusing on Sustainability and Manufacturing Productivity. Since 2019, the Capital Equipment Fund administered by Enterprise Ireland has funded over 200 equipment purchases with a total value of €55 million. Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, Peter Burke TD said: "I am delighted to announce that my Department, through Enterprise Ireland, is providing over €12.1 million to fund state of the art equipment for our Technology Gateways and Technology Centres. Innovation is essential for all companies to adapt and deliver novel products and services, making them more competitive in their respective markets. This funding will further add to our system of supports to our enterprise sector, with the new equipment being an important tool for companies on their growth and innovation journey. This announcement builds on my Department's ongoing investment in equipping our research and innovation system, bringing our total funding to €55 million. It will allow our research network to continue to provide cutting edge support to Irish enterprise across all sectors and all regions in Ireland, providing more quality jobs along the way." Marina Donohoe, Divisional Manager, Research & Innovation at Enterprise Ireland said: "The scale of this investment will have an extremely positive impact on companies in Ireland, in particular the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). The cost of the equipment funded here is prohibitive to most SMEs so the provision of it in the Technology Gateways and Technology Centres means companies will have access to leading edge facilities that will in turn help to improve their technical capabilities and deliver world leading products and services. With an emphasis on sustainability, the new equipment will provide Irish companies with the means to dramatically improve their competitiveness whilst also positively contributing to Ireland's action on Climate Change."

Host Dave Sobel welcomes Seth Robinson, Vice President of Industry Research at CompTIA, and Rich Freeman, a seasoned journalist and analyst specializing in the SMB channel. The discussion centers around CompTIA's recently released outlook for 2025, which highlights the ongoing optimism within the technology sector, particularly among IT professionals and channel firms. Despite this optimism, the report reveals a concerning trend: fewer than half of businesses express confidence in their basic IT services, a decline from a decade ago. This lack of confidence may hinder the adoption of advanced technologies, prompting a deeper exploration of the factors influencing these sentiments.Seth elaborates on the dual nature of the current technology landscape, where businesses are eager to invest in technology for strategic purposes but are simultaneously seeking measurable returns on those investments. The conversation touches on the challenges faced by IT professionals as decision-makers demand more certainty regarding the effectiveness of their technology expenditures. Rich adds to this discussion by highlighting the broader economic uncertainties, including geopolitical tensions and fluctuating interest rates, which contribute to a cautious approach to IT spending.The episode also delves into the potential impact of increased regulation on managed service providers (MSPs). Both Seth and Rich discuss the sentiment among MSPs regarding the need for stricter regulations to elevate industry standards and eliminate subpar competitors. While some MSPs may view regulation as a necessary headache, they recognize that it could ultimately benefit the industry by fostering trust and accountability among service providers.Finally, the conversation shifts to the rise of bespoke platforms and the growing trend of international business among channel firms. Seth notes that many companies are increasingly looking to operate globally, driven by the demand for data services and cybersecurity solutions. This trend presents both opportunities and challenges, particularly in navigating varying regulations across different regions. The episode concludes with a reflection on the importance of data management and infrastructure as businesses seek to leverage AI and other technologies effectively, emphasizing the need for MSPs to build the necessary skills to meet these evolving demands.

Are you interested in cultivated and lab-grown meat? Our summary today works with the white paper titled Cultivated meat and consumers – 2023 consumer trends and insights for the cultivated meat industry from 2023 by Magic Valley, published on their website. This is a great preparation to our next interview with Paul Bevan in episode 238 talking about cultivated meat. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how we could get our proteins in cities without huge animal involvement. This white paper explores consumer perceptions and acceptance of cultivated meat from 2023. As the most important things, I would like to highlight 3 aspects: Cultivated meat offers a sustainable, ethical alternative to traditional meat by producing real animal meat from cultured cells without slaughtering animals. Price, nutrition, and taste are the top factors driving consumer interest in cultivated meat, with many finding it appealing due to its ethical, health, and sustainability benefits. By focusing on educating consumers and highlighting the benefits of cultivated meat, stakeholders can foster a more informed and receptive market. You can find the white paper through this link.

Ireland's Research, Development & Innovation (RDI) sector continues to drive growth and employment, but without easier access to funding it risks dependence on foreign technology and diminishing competitiveness, new research surveying almost 500 companies in Ireland has found. The research found that 77% (-3% vs. 2023) of businesses plan to increase RDI spending in response to challenges like AI and talent shortages, with the recent R&D tax credit increase to 30% continuing to drive growth. 60% (+12% vs. 2023) of businesses cited a lack of funding as the primary barrier to increasing innovation, while 41% (+2% vs. 2023) of businesses identified the time-consuming nature of grant administration as a significant obstacle to RDI activities. The Innovation Index, conducted annually by the Industry Research and Development Group (IRDG) and KPMG, captures the attitudes of domestic to large multinationals companies on the issue of RDI in Ireland. The research found that 54% of companies employ between 1 and 10 people directly involved in RDI activities, 26% have 11-50 employees engaged, while 18% employ 51 or more. Barriers to Growth The Index, now in its second year, examines how Ireland compares to other countries in RDI and what improvements can be made to maintain and enhance the country's performance. Ireland ranks 22nd on the Global Innovation Index, behind leading countries like Switzerland (1st), Sweden (2nd), the United States (3rd), the United Kingdom (4th), and the Netherlands (5th). Despite a lower government R&D budget, Ireland leads Europe in private sector R&D investment at 80%. RDI is a key driver of economic growth and is fundamental to tackling complex economic and social challenges including climate change, digitalisation, and public health. The Index cites that to achieve the Government's "Impact 2030" goal of doubling business expenditure on RDI by 2030, funding availability will need to increase. To maintain and enhance its competitive edge, Ireland must prioritise streamlining RDI support processes, a need highlighted by 40% of businesses surveyed in the research. The main factors Ireland needs to look at to remain competitive in the evolving international landscape are; simplifying the claims process/reducing admin work (40% up from 29% in 2023), increasing funding amounts/expanding eligibility criteria (32%), and improving access for SMEs (9%). The Index surveyed 496 companies, split between Irish owned (62%), US owned subsidiary (17%), foreign but not US owned subsidiary (12%), University / Hospital spin - out (4%) and others (5%). The number of survey respondents increased by almost 100 compared to last year. Benchmarking Ireland's RDI The administrative burden is especially an issue for Irish companies, where 58% cited it as a difficulty in claiming RDI tax credits, compared to 31% of multinational companies. Without significant investment in sustainability research and innovation, Ireland risks dependence on foreign technology, diminishing competitiveness, according to the research, which found that 78% of respondents believe a higher R&D tax credit rate would boost investment in green technologies. 51% of multinational corporations feel that Ireland's RDI grants and R&D tax credit support compare equally or favourably to other countries. 13% feel that the Irish system compares negatively and 36% aren't sure. It was also noted that half of multinational corporations responded that 10% or less of their R&D would take place in Ireland without the R&D Tax Credit. 83% of the multinational respondents indicated that 50% or less of their R&D would be carried out in Ireland without the presence of the R&D tax credit. Commenting on the findings, Dermot Casey, CEO of IRDG said: "The Innovation Index highlights the crucial role of Research, Development, and Innovation (RDI) in shaping Ireland's economic future. We must choose to create our own future, not rent someone else's. By addressing the identified funding...

“The stock market is filled with individuals who know the price of everything, but the value of nothing.” —Phillip Fisher You must have wondered about how to find that perfect stock for your portfolio.

We must equip ourselves to be able to completely dissect the industry on the basis of size, opportunities, sub-segments, value chain, profit pools, etc. Don't fret!!! SOIC has got you covered.
