It is quite easy to do bad deals in asset management. Option one, overpay for a private capital business in the aggressive dash for growth. Option two, defensively merge your existing fund manager with a regional peer and botch the integration as you try to make savings. Against that backdrop, Nomura Holdings’ decision to acquire a cheap US public-markets manager with minimal overlap stands as an oddity. Maybe there is some logic in buying what everyone else is trying to sell.

2 weeks ago | mirror.co.uk | Chris Hughes

The killing of Russian Lieutenant General Yaroslav Moskalik today came in the wake of a string of covert operations missions serving Ukraine’s military aims. Just days ago a Russian Su-30SM fighter bomber was blown up 700 miles deep inside the border from Ukraine- massively exposing Moscow’s security apparatus. Both major hits represent a huge undermining of Putin’s defence security and seriously undermine any thought that Russia’s internal intelligence network is fit for purpose.

CHRIS HUGHES: Sinister reason Vladimir Putin cannot stop his war

3 weeks ago | mirror.co.uk | Chris Hughes

ANY talk of peace in Ukraine has to embrace the paradox that Russian President Vladimir Putin will never give up his war because he cannot. The only off-ramp that he will accept, albeit temporarily, will be Kyiv accepting Russia can keep the territories it already occupies - a demand unacceptable to Volodymyr Zelensky. And even then, with Putin in position, Russia would find an excuse, a barely concealed false flag allegation or some other trigger to restart the war.
