Image source: Getty Images Taylor Wimpey (LSE: TW) shares offer one of the highest yields on the entire FTSE 100. They’re forecast to yield 8.25% in 2025, rising to 8.49% the following year. That’s a brilliant rate of dividend income. And it needs to be. Unfortunately, the Taylor Wimpey share price has fallen almost 25% over the last 12 months. This isn’t a one-off either. A decade ago, the shares were trading around 185p. Today, they’re closer to 115p, which is 38% lower. That’s a dreadful return over 10 years. Income positive, growth negative Housebuilders have taken a battering since…
Private credit has rapidly evolved from a niche asset class into a dominant force in the global lending ecosystem, now representing an estimated $2.5 trillion industry[1] rivaling traditional bank lending and public debt markets. For institutional investors navigating a shifting macroeconomic and regulatory landscape, the asset class presents both compelling opportunities and growing concerns. While private credit promises bespoke deal structures, superior yields, and diversification away from traditional fixed income, its accelerated growth — fueled by bank retrenchment and heightened investor appetite — raises critical questions about liquidity, transparency, and systemic risk. This transformation has been driven by structural shifts…

Investors are pulling back from long-duration notes. by Alice Gledhill and Ruth Carson A spate of poorly-received longer-dated sovereign bond auctions worldwide has raised questions about the willingness of investors to fund the spending plans of governments from the US to Japan. Japan’s 30-year bond sale Thursday was the third in as many weeks to show signs of a cold shoulder from buyers, with one measure of demand the weakest since 2023. A post-auction rally suggested investor expectations of demand had been even lower. Meanwhile, Tuesday’s auction of 12-year Australian government debt saw the weakest demand in about six years and Wednesday’s post-election South Korean 30-year…
Image source: Getty Images The Wizz Air Holdings (LSE: WIZZ) share price slumped more than 25% when the market opened Thursday (5 June) and, as I write, it’s still hovering around that level. The reason? A 61.7% fall in operating profit for the year ended 31 March, to €167.5m (£150m at current exchange rates). That was caused in large part by a number of its aircraft being grounded due to problems with their Pratt & Whitney GTF engines. At year-end, 42 planes were still stuck on the tarmac. Conflict in the Middle East and Ukraine also had an impact on…
Image source: Getty Images FTSE 250 high-tech defence firm Chemring (LSE: CHG) is trading at a 14-year high of £5.54. The last time it traded at more than this was 1 September 2011, when it hit £5.65. That said, there can still be value left in the shares as price and value are different things. I took a deep dive into the business and ran the key numbers to get to the bottom of the firm’s valuation. Increased spending by NATO Chemring’s shares are trading at such lofty levels partly because of the increasing defence threat to the West. Most immediately…
Image source: Olaf Kraak via Shell plc Shell’s (LSE: SHEL) share price is down 15% from its 5 July 12-month high of £29.10. Comparing its share price chart with that of the Brent oil price benchmark shows a near-identical trading pattern. In basic terms, this implies that the UK oil giant has no additional value over and above the oil price. That is, no additional value from its high-value petrochemical products, green energy products, trading operations or anything else. Handily though, the value of the likely future cash flows from all of Shell’s operations can be seen via discounted cash…
As the EU prepares its next multiannual financial framework (MFF), it must decide how to use limited public resources to forge a path towards security, resilience and competitiveness, with decarbonisation at the core. Despite rising investment needs, the current EU budget still struggles to crowd in private capital at scale. The solution lies in approaching the issue from all angles: both using this MFF cycle to send much clearer investment signals towards target areas, and using the MFF as a tool to improve the deployment of transition finance. The European Commission has announced that the development of the next MFF…
The 29th Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC (COP29) was the much-anticipated “finance COP.” Negotiators were tasked with replacing the previous $100 billion target with a more ambitious New Collective Quantified Goal on Climate Finance (NCQG). After tense last-minute discussions, the developed countries eventually committed to “taking the lead” on providing “at least [$]300 billion per year by 2035,” out of a $1.3 trillion total. While nominally tripling the previous $100 billion target for developed country financing, the new goal incorporates funding from “a wide variety of sources.” When combined with the effects of inflation, this makes the NCQG…
