英國銀行家希望川普重返白宮 – Politico

08/29/2024

(SeaPRwire) - 专家告诉该媒体，在“亲商”的共和党总统领导下，英国公司更容易进入美国市场。据《政治报》报道，援引伦敦金融城金融专家的说法，英国商界更希望看到共和党候选人唐纳德·特朗普在 11 月的美国总统大选中胜过副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯。虽然有人担心特朗普总统可能会对全球贸易采取保护主义做法，但该媒体周二报道称，他的“自由放任”政策可能会让英国公司更容易进入美国市场。这是伦敦金融城据称正在寻找的东西，因为它在英国退欧后失去了大部分欧盟业务，因此正在寻找增长途径。 “你可能会看到白宫希望对金融服务制定一个限制更少的监管框架，这可能会间接导致更多资金流向大西洋彼岸，”一位不愿透露姓名的英国高级金融游说人士告诉《政治报》。伦敦金融城的一位资深律师将特朗普描述为“亲商”，并指出哈里斯的政策预计对英国企业“帮助不大”。尽管这位前美国总统在第一任期“狂野而不可预测”，但他的金融政策“并没有导致美元暴跌或金融市场出现任何重大问题，尽管他的许多政策都存在争议。” 与此同时，一位律师表示，哈里斯总统“是一个巨大的未知数”，她的经济议程据称包括指责大企业进行所谓的价格欺诈。本月早些时候，特朗普抨击了民主党对手，指责现任政府在通货膨胀问题上的记录，自乔·拜登就任总统以来，通货膨胀率一直持续在 3% 以上。伦敦金融城的专家还对特朗普在第一任期内对顶级监管职位的人事任命表示赞赏，强调了他们在该行业的能力和经验。在特朗普政府（2017-2021）执政期间，前高盛高管史蒂文·姆努钦被任命为财政部长，而私募股权投资者兼财政部资深人士兰德尔·夸尔斯在美联储获得了重要的银行监管职位。 “政治任命决定了金融服务贸易等方面的政治议程，”英国金融业代表机构英国金融公司国际事务主管安格斯·坎文告诉《政治报》。根据最近的调查，特朗普和哈里斯目前在大多数民调中势均力敌，哈里斯在支持率上略微领先于这位前总统。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Intercity Battery Train Starts Testing in the North of England

08/29/2024

LONDON, Aug 29, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The UK’s pioneering intercity battery train began testing on the national rail network earlier this week. This key milestone will see the battery technology trialled on routes between York to Manchester Airport and Leeds to Liverpool Lime Street over the next eight weeks.The train will be easily recognisable with the distinct due to the new livery which celebrates the collaboration between TransPennine Express (TPE), Angel Trains and Hitachi Rail.A variety of important tests will take place, including the battery’s ability to improve performance on hills,regenerative charging via braking, fuel and emission savings, and zero-emission battery mode in train stations.Rail network testing is taking place after the battery train successfully completed low speed tests on the test track at Hitachi Rail’s Newton Aycliffe manufacturing facility. During these tests the train was propelled entirely by the battery, producing zero tailpipe emissions.This is the first UK trial where a diesel engine is replaced with a battery on an intercity train. The battery has beensuccessfully retrofitted onto one of TPE’s ‘Nova 1’ trains (five-carriage intercity Class 802).The battery, which generates a peak power of more than 700kw, is predicted to reduce emissions and fuel costs by as much as 30% on a Hitachi intercity train. It will also demonstrate how battery technology can reduce costs in the railways by reducing the need for overhead wires in tunnel sections and over complex junctions.The trial also aims to support the UK battery sector and green growth, with Hitachi Rail investing over £15 million todevelop this pioneering technology with Turntide Technologies in Sunderland.Paul Staples, Engineering, Safety and Sustainability Director at TransPennine Express, said:“This trial is a huge step towards the rail industry in the UK – and around the world reducing CO2 emissions and we are excited to be part of it.“TPE is dedicated to making our journeys greener by reducing our carbon footprint, creating resilience to climate change and improving local air quality.”Matthew Prosser, Asset Management Director at Angel Trains, said:“Following the success of one of our Class 802 trains running entirely in battery-mode at Newton Aycliffe, we're excited to see how this technology performs on the national rail network. This project represents a multimillion-poundjoint investment by Angel Trains and Hitachi in one of our newest fleets. It will both support and draw upon the skilled jobs and expertise at Hitachi's Newton Aycliffe facility and enable us to demonstrate how battery retrofit technology can help us decarbonise our railways."Paul Newlove, Head of Green Technologies Programme said:“After seeing the train running entirely in battery-mode at Newton Aycliffe, I can’t wait to see how this technology can reduce emissions, reduce fuel costs and improve air quality on the Transpennine route.“This part of the trial is going to be really exciting because we start to prove the benefits of this green technology for passengers, operators and policy makers.“It has been such a team effort, with colleagues in Japan, Italy and UK working together for years to finally reach this important stage.”This important project draws upon Hitachi’s global expertise which includes delivering the world’s first passenger battery train in Japan, and rolling out the Masaccio, Europe’s first battery hybrid train in Italy in 2022. The evolution of the technology continues at pace with Hitachi Rail recently unveiling its new intercity version of the train, and with atarget to roll out a EuroMasaccio in additional European markets, including Germany from 2026.The development of this battery is an important step for the rail industry both home and abroad. Hitachi Rail has an ambition to install this battery on trains around the world, potentially creating a UK export and improving energy efficiency.There are thousands of trains running across the world that are powered by diesel engines, which will need to be decarbonised to meet net zero targets. In Italy, the Masaccio has instantly cut CO2 emissions by 50% compared to thediesel trains it has replaced. The ability to replace diesel engines with a powerful battery, and unlock cheaper partial electrification, can create a low-cost pathway to decarbonise railways around the world.About Hitachi Rail:Hitachi Rail is connecting the future of mobility - helping every passenger, customer and community enjoy the benefits of more seamless, sustainable transport.With innovative technology and world-leading delivery capabilities, Hitachi Rail is a trusted partner to customers andconsortia partners globally.

08/29/2024

HONG KONG, Aug 29, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Noah Holdings Limited ("Noah" or the "Company") (NYSE: NOAH and HKEX: 6686), a leading and pioneer wealth management service provider offering comprehensive one-stop advisory services on global investment and asset allocation primarily for Mandarin-speaking high-net-worth investors, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter of 2024.Noah recorded total net revenue of RMB 616 million in the second quarter of 2024. The wealth management business generated net revenues of RMB 416 million, while the asset management business reported net revenues of RMB 192 million.Strategically Overseas Expansion and Comprehensive investment SolutionsNoah’s overseas expansion is gaining momentum as client demand for global asset allocation strengthens, with overseas net revenue contribution increasing to 46.3% in the first half of 2024 and asset under management increasing 14.1% year-over-year during the quarter. Noah also raised US$ 338 million for overseas private equity, private credit, and other primary market funds year-to-date, a significant 40.2% year-over-year increase.Income from operations was RMB 134 million, an increase of 10.3% sequentially, with an operating margin of 21.8%, an increase from 18.7% in the first quarter of 2024. These results directly reflect the early success of Noah’s strategic transformation as it implements effective cost control measures, restructures its domestic business, and accelerates its expansion overseas."The pace of our overseas expansion is gaining momentum," said Zhe Yin, the Chief Executive Officer of Noah Holdings. "Our team of overseas relationship managers directly supporting this expansion grew 101.8% year-over-year and 24.2% sequentially during the quarter. While we are still in the relatively early stages of our overseas expansion, these results reflect the direction we are headed in going forward.”“Domestically, we are focused on stabilizing operations by streamlining our branch network to reduce overhead costs and adjusting our client service model to comply with evolving regulatory requirements by separating relationship and business development managers into different independent business units. While these initiatives may temporarily impact business activity over the next few quarters, they will ensure our ability to effectively and compliantly serve clients with a comprehensive portfolio of products in the long term. I am pleased with the progress we have made this quarter in expanding overseas, and confident in both our long-term growth potential and ability to consistently generate returns for shareholders."As of June 30, 2024, the number of overseas registered clients increased by 6.7% sequentially 23.0% year-over-year to 16,786, further reflecting the growing demand for overseas asset allocation. Notably, the number of overseas diamond and black card clients saw an even more substantial year-on-year increase of 14.2%.The Company also observed a shift in product preferences, a trend that aligns with the forward-looking strategies outlined in Noah's Chief Investment Office’s (CIO) house view. Interest in investment products increased substantially as a result of expectations for a potential Federal Reserve rate cut during the second half of the year. Known for its expertise and ability to offer clients alternative investments on a global basis, Noah is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this opportunity to grow its USD AUA.As of June 30, 2024, Noah’s overseas relationship manager team grew to 113, a 24.2% increase sequentially. This expansion reflects Noah’s commitment to building a robust presence in key international financial hubs, and enhances its ability to serve high-net-worth clients with comprehensive global investment solutions.Prioritizing Shareholder Interests and Delivering Sustained ReturnsAs part of its commitment to enhancing shareholder returns, the board of directors of the company authorized a share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to US$50 million of its American depositary shares or ordinary shares, effective immediately. The authorized term for carrying out this share repurchase program is two years.Noah announced in November 2023 that a new capital management and shareholder return policy (the “Policy”) had been adopted, pursuant to which up to 50% the Company's non-GAAP net income attributable to shareholders of the preceding financial year will be allocated to a Corporate Actions Budget which will serve various purposes, including dividend distribution and share repurchases. The share repurchase program announced on August 29 2024 does not form a part of the Corporate Actions Budget under the Policy. The Corporate Actions Budget based on Noah’s financial performance in 2024 is expected to be determined and announced alongside the Company’s earnings results for the fourth quarter and full year ending on December 31, 2024.Ms. Jingbo Wang, co-founder and chairwoman of Noah, commented, “This share repurchase program, along with the dividend payout we just completed, reflects our unwavering commitment to prioritizing shareholder interests and delivering sustained returns. While China’s wealth management industry is navigating a challenging period and undergoing a transition, we remain confident in Noah’s unique advantages stemming from our deep understanding of Mandarin-speaking high-net-worth individuals’ (HNWI) needs and our ability to deliver products and services to this still-growing client base. We are one of a few independent firms that maintains access, through years of investor education, to a large group of qualified individual investors who continue to seek professional services.”“As such, we believe that our stock is deeply undervalued and does not reflect our growth prospects, robust balance sheet and cash reserves, or the special bond we have formed with the Mandarin-speaking HNWIs globally. We value both our long-term and new shareholders and are committed to sharing our success with them through more proactive capital allocation policies moving forward.”Strengthening Commitment to ESG PrinciplesIn the first half of 2024, Noah published its 10th Annual environmental, social, and governance (ESG) report, highlighting its decade-long commitment to corporate responsibility and sustainable practices. Additionally, Gopher Asset Management, Noah's asset management arm, also joined the latest Nature Responsible Management initiative, Spring, announced by Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) in 2024, reinforcing its role in driving responsible investment practices in order to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030.By aligning with the PRI, Noah reaffirms its commitment to integrating ESG factors into its investment processes, fostering sustainable and responsible investment practices that benefit all stakeholders.Noah continues to adapt and evolve amidst a challenging market environment. The Company’s strategic initiatives, focused on global expansion, technological innovation, and sustainable practices, are beginning to yield tangible results, laying a strong foundation for continued success in the years to come.

秉持戰略定力，堅守價值成長，造就優質標的-陽光保險

08/29/2024

香港, 2024年8月29日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) — 2024年上半年，保險業高質量轉型步入深水區，量升質增態勢愈發明顯。目前行業估值和持倉仍處底部，β屬性與政策多重利好將有助整個板塊估值修復，仍具長期配置價值。上市險企中，陽光保險（6963.HK）於近日披露中期業績，無論是總保費收入還是盈利能力，均呈穩健提升之勢。據悉，2023年陽光保險集團董事長張維功提出全面佈局打造「科技陽光、價值陽光、知心陽光」的新陽光戰略，按照「一張藍圖繪徹底，看著藍圖幹到底」的戰略定力，全面實現公司的戰略升級。2024年上半年，在持續推進「新陽光戰略」驅動下，公司保險主業核心能力進一步穩固加強，整體市場競爭力有效提高，經營業績穩步增長。根據業績公告，2024年上半年，公司實現總收入424.49億元（人民幣，下同），同比增長8.9%。保險服務收入314.9億元，同比增長4.4%。歸屬於母公司股東的淨利潤31.4億元，同比增長8.6%。內含價值為1,126.4億元，較上年末增長8.2%。經營業績與價值創造能力雙重提升高質量發展與高價值成長，是陽光保險始終堅持的發展方向，意味著既要持續推動經營業績穩步向好，也要深入落地「價值陽光」戰略，不斷增強價值創造能力。從主業發展來看，2024年上半年，壽險業務保持較快發展，壽險總保費收入517.6億元，同比增長12.9%；上半年新業務價值37.5億元，同比增長39.9%。財險業務規模穩健增長，原保險保費收入246.5億元，同比增長12.4%。車險原保險保費收入132.9億元，同比增長3.2%，承保綜合成本率99.7%，實現承保盈利；非車險原保險保費收入113.6億元，同比增長25.5%，其中農險業務同比增長38.3%，健康險業務同比增長48.5%；承保綜合成本率98.5%，實現承保利潤1.6億元。從價值創造來看，2024年上半年，壽險多元渠道協同發展，其中個險價值快速增長，隊伍企穩回升、產能持續提升。財險業務品質保持良好，非車險保費佔比46.1%，同比提升4.8個百分點；家用車保費在車險中佔比62.4%，同比提升1.5個百分點，業務結構持續優化。客戶經營有聲有色，優質服務彰顯「溫度」踐行「客戶思想驅動」理念，是陽光保險紮實落地「知心陽光」戰略的重要落腳點。尤其隨著消費者需求日益多元化、差異化，客戶經營這一保險行業一直以來的重點課題，已經成為公司能力體系建設的核心之一，也是2024年上半年的重頭戲。陽光人壽強化客戶思想，以「三╱五╱七」產品體系為抓手，持續推進「縱橫計劃」，不斷豐富「三╱五╱七」產品體系內涵，落地差異化增值服務，持續滿足客戶不同生命週期的保險需求。據悉，「三╱五╱七」產品體系即對於「人的一生需要幾張保單」這一社會性難題給出了一個簡單清晰、通俗易懂的客戶保單需求概念結論——「三張保單保一生、五張保單全家福、七彩陽光滿堂紅」，並相應打造了豐富的產品服務體系，使陽光成為行業第一家以全客戶視角、將客戶壽險保單需求清晰而通俗易懂地向社會作出闡釋的公司。陽光財險持續深化客戶需求洞察研究，致力於建立便捷的客戶服務體系，積極提供溫暖貼心、專業可信的服務產品，品牌口碑再上一層樓。個人客戶方面，上半年家用車續保率64.2%，同比持續提升，個人車險客戶非車險產品購買比例達到55.5%，同比提升7.6個百分點。團體客戶方面，持續推進「夥伴行動」風險管理服務落地，2024年上半年，累計為8,595個企業客戶提供科技減損和專業風險諮詢服務，升級打造「保險+科技+服務」的全量風險管理服務模式。在上半年保險行業延續深度轉型的背景下，陽光保險憑藉創業初心與不變的戰略定力堅毅前行，不斷提高自身綜合競爭力，取得優異的成績，頗為難得。作爲本世紀成立的205家內地保險企業中唯一上市的傳統保險企業，預期公司將在穩固基本面的支撑下，實現估值重塑，尤其在被納入恒生綜合指數後，未來流動性將持續增大，作為優質標的對海內外的「聰明投資者」將更具吸引力。 Copyright 2024 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

比利時發現被綁縛的巴勒斯坦男子遺體

08/29/2024

(SeaPRwire) - 一具被綁住手腳的遺體在安特衛普市的一個公園裡被發現。一名巴勒斯坦男子在比利時港口城市安特衛普市中心的一個公園裡被發現死亡。這具遺體被綁住了手腳，而當局仍然無法確定死亡原因。這具遺體最初是由一名路人於上週三在一個城市公園裡的一個二戰時期的舊軍營旁發現的。根據安特衛普公共檢察官辦公室的說法，死者在被發現之前至少在公園裡待了 24 小時。當局花了兩天時間才確認這名沒有攜帶身份證件的男子是一名 26 歲的巴勒斯坦難民。他沒有居留許可，但正在申請該國的庇護。他在死之前並未被警方認識，也沒有犯罪記錄。屍檢沒有得出確切的結果，調查人員仍然對任何理論持開放態度，從謀殺到特別精密的自殺都有。 “屍檢沒有澄清死因，因此所有線索都保持開放，”檢察官辦公室發言人克里斯托弗·埃爾茨週五告訴當地媒體。這起神秘事件引發了網路上瘋狂的猜測，有些人甚至暗示死者可能是因為某種未知原因被私刑處死。然而，當局敦促不要散布此類理論，呼籲公眾等待官方調查結果。 “我知道社交媒體上有很多瘋狂的故事... 法院調查已經開始，調查法官、公共檢察官、實驗室、法醫和調查人員都在現場，”埃爾茨週三告訴《布魯塞爾時報》。到目前為止，當局沒有提供更多關於此事的信息。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Gross profit increased by 10.0% to US$163.4 million as compared with US$14.8 million for the same prior year period. Profit for the Reporting Period significantly increased by 23.6% from US$28.8 million for the same prior year period to US$35.6 million. It is primarily due to increased aircraft deliveries, increased pricing on the aircraft, and better mix of revenue generated from Cirrus Services and Other towards its services with higher margin.The leading aircraft manufacturer in the global personal aviation marketSince the inception in 1984 in Wisconsin, United States, Cirrus Aircraft is committed to design, develop, manufacture, and sell premium aircraft recognized across the personal aviation industry, which incorporate innovations in safety, technology, connectivity, performance, and comfort. The Company’s two aircraft product lines, the SR2X Series and the Vision Jet, have successfully set the industry standard for owner-piloted aircraft and are currently certified and validated in more than 60 countries with cumulative deliveries of over 9,700 SR2X Series aircraft and over 500 Vision Jet aircraft worldwide as of the June 30, 2024.As part of its wide-ranging product offering strategy, the Company’s SR2X Series consists of an entry level aircraft, the SR20, as well as the SR22 and SR22T, both of which offer increasing levels of performance and capabilities addressing different customer needs and preferences for a single-engine piston aircraft. SR2X Series aircraft can typically carry up to four adults and one child. The Vision Jet targets a different and more premium segment of the personal aviation market and offers significantly enhanced performance, capabilities and specifications at a higher price point. The Vision Jet is also designed for owners to fly at jet speed without requiring support from a full-time pilot or flight department. The Vision Jet can typically carry up to five adults and two children. With the launch of the G7 line and continuous upgrade of product portfolio, it will sustain the growth of the business and continue to provide a premium experience for the customers.In the first half of 2024, Cirrus Aircraft delivered 20 more aircraft and the average sales prices (“ASP”) of all deliveries steady increased as compared to the same period in 2023. The average sales price of the SR2X aircraft deliveries was approximately US$1.04 million compared to US$0.99 million in the same period in 2023. The average sales price of the Vision Jet aircraft deliveries was US$3.33 million compared to US$3.08 million in the same period in 2023. At the same time, net orders increased for both the SR2X and Vision Jet combined for the six months ended June 30, 2024 by a total of 107 units from 255 for the six months ending June 30, 2023 to 362 for the six months ending June 30, 2024. This increase is partly attributable to the launch of the G7 line as well as the continuation of the product ladder between the two product lines and the growing ecosystem around the ownership experience. The significantly increased net orders recorded during the Reporting Period will bring a great momentum for the steady growth of the Company.Outlook and Future PlanIn the future, Cirrus Aircraft will continue to focus on product improvement, model upgrades and ongoing generational changes to equip its aircraft with new technologies and designs to consolidate the leading position of the industry. Meanwhile, the Company intend to adopt a series of measures, including monetize installed base through establishing, among many things but not limited to, new maintenance programs, and expanding aircraft management solutions and an array of useful customer services, enhance flight training solutions, advance and expand its aircraft and services portfolio, advance production capabilities, expand its markets globally and establish on-demand personal aviation solutions, to support the future business development and the long-term steady growth of the Company.In recent, as part of the ongoing efforts to increase the capacity and efficiency of the manufacturing facilities, the Company has also completed significant improvements in its manufacturing facility in Grand Forks, including expanded autoclave and mold capacity. In addition, the Company continues to increase the areas of the production facilities in which the Company has implemented its Cirrus Operating System (COS) which continues to increase the operating efficiency. Cirrus Aircraft anticipates these continued improvements will help increase and support future production.In regards to the marketing strategy, the Company adjusted its sales structure in the United Kingdom and France from CSAs to direct sales, which the Company anticipates will drive growth in these markets by developing direct relationships with the customers earlier in the sales cycle, maintaining closer relationships throughout the customers’ ownership experience and allowing the Company to strategically and directly drive sales and marketing initiatives. Moreover, the Company continues to expand the investment within its product portfolio. In April 2024, the Company received the production certificate from Federal Aviation Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation for its SR10 aircraft, which is the first of its kind clean sheet design exclusive to training the next generation of pilots. - End -About Cirrus Aircraft LimitedCirrus Aircraft Limited is a pioneer and an established global market leader in the personal aviation industry, according to Frost & Sullivan.
