The FTSE enjoyed a bright start on Friday, gaining 31 points to reach 8,411. This took the index ever closer to its record high seen in May of 8,447 in intraday trading and an 8,445 close. The move up came despite little company news and another tough night for Nvidia. Traditional safe stocks such as utilities and property groups were going well in early trades, particularly Land Securities and power group SSE. Nvidia shed almost US$200 billion of its value overnight after investors digested its results; this had a knock-on effect UK investor Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust, which was one of the FTSE 100's few early losers. Elsewhere, house prices climbed by 2.4% in the year to August and at their fastest pace since December 2022, according to figures from building society Nationwide. A lot of business headlines also focused on Government plans to make a four-day work week a right for staff with no loss of pay. Businesses are said to be unhappy about the proposals that would see people work extra hours each day to make up the time. #ProactiveInvestors #marketreport #ftse #footsie #ftse100 #landsecurities #sse #nvidia #natioinwide #4dayworkweek #4days #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

UK stocks have edged lower this morning as the markets reacted to the Federal Reserve's hawkish tone at yesterday's meeting, with policymakers now targetting just one rate cut this year. Making early movements was Halma, which led the charge, after it posted yet another record profit, leading to management hiking the annual dividend for the 45th year in a row. BT also experienced a lift after it was revealed Latin America's richest man Carlos Slim had taken a 3% stake in the telecom giant. Housebuilder Barratt and real estate firm Land Securities slipped in early movements after new industry data revealed the housing market's recovery "slipped into reverse" after the announcement of the election. New buyer demand and prices dropped in May, as the confidence in the UK housing market began to wane, according to the Royal Insititute of Chartered Surveyors. Over in the US, attention is turning to the vote on Elon Musk's historic US$56 billion pay package, which he has taken to Twitter/X to claim he has won. Tesla investors are scheduled to vote against or for its boss's bonus, with top shareholders and proxy advisors having already come out against the package. #proactiveinvestors #marketreport #ftse #ftse100 #footsie #halma #federalreserve #bt #carlosslim #elonmusk #tesla #x #bonus #pay #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

People really willing to go the extra mile are people really willing to put themselves into the customer shoes, willing to take every problem to its resolution – Rajesh  But ultimately, the success with the data is really are we improving enhancing the customer enjoyment and benefits – Rajesh   Subscribe Apple | Google | Spotify | Stitcher | iHeart   Sponsors You're listening to a podcast produced by A PODCAST COMPANY.

In this episode we are looking at whether you should be putting your CRE investments into London, or looking further afield and placing your cash in the regions. Our host Roger Clarke (IPSX), and our moderator Paul Shearer, are joined over the internet by Mat Oakley (Savills) and Neil Sinclair (Palace Capital Plc) to discuss the issue.

The promising future of investment performance in the regions. The impact of infrastructure investments on the regions. What is hampering investment in the regions at the moment?

Madeleine McDougall started out wanting to be an Astronaut, but after finishing university not knowing what she wanted to do, a friend advised her to go into property saying it was “intellectual and had great personality”. And it was not bad advice; starting out at Land Securities, she moved into banking during the 2000s cutting her teeth on mega European Industrial deals. In 2014 she joined Lloyds Banking Group as Head of Institutional: advising sovereign wealth, private equity and pension fund clients, and since 2017 been Head of Real Estate and Housing leading a sixty-member strong team. She has become the “IT” woman of property; speaking out about the importance of innovation and diversity – mentoring women, promoting paternity leave and encouraging flexible working to bring about a “change in mindsets".

Location location location is a phrase supposedly coined by Harold Samuel. In this episode we look at the man himself and the company he founded - you may have heard of it!

In 2002 Land Securities unveiled it’s controversial plans for the redevelopment of Exeter city centre’s Princesshay Shopping precinct. Four years on, the demolition and archaeological excavation of this area has been completed, and construction is underway. The public have been given the opportunity to oversee part of this construction work by providing a purpose-built viewing platform. The re-development has caused a stir among Exeter resident for whom the change will mark another step in the homogenisation of Devon’s capital, while for others points towards positive economic growth, an increase in the variety of facilities, and enhancement of the city’s reputation.

John burns, chief executive of Derwent London is a popular figure among the property industry’s emerging leaders, but it is the “Ritblats and the Ronsons” and Lord Samuel, the founder of Land Securities whose work he admires the most. “They were the real builders and just did things with a different style,” Burns said, before also heaping praise on contemporary rival Argent for “creating a destination (King’s Cross) from a place that people were afraid to go”. Speaking on EG’s Tomorrow’s Leaders podcast, Burns made the strong assertion that Derwent would not be looking to venture too far out of London anytime soon. “People have often said to us, why wouldn’t Derwent venture out of town, but the truth is we don’t know other markets well enough. “To do New York for example, well that’s going into the jungle, isn’t it? That will be a tough crowd of real estate experts. I think some of these places are good for holidays but not to put money down.” Speaking about the workplace culture at Derwent’s Saville Row headquarters, and how the company nurtures new recruits, Burns says he is committed to making himself available to all staff, and encourages younger colleagues to take part in business meetings. “it’s interesting. A lot of companies don’t like presentations and meetings with investors, but we’re in the reverse. It’s a bit like giving out sweeties when deciding who going to go on this tour and that.” When asked about any career regrets, he said: “I’d have worked a little harder. I didn’t wake up til I was in my late 30s. I may have been coasting for a time.”
