As international concerns heighten as the energy crisis deepens, investors should focus on the long-term future rewards in sustainable investments, as I told Financial Express, amongst other media outlets.
Earlier this week we saw the EU decided to proceed with a partial ban on Russian oil. This prohibits the purchase of crude oil and petroleum products from Russia delivered to member states by sea.
This followed on from reports of six million homes facing blackouts over winter

Investors need to review their portfolios sooner rather than later to sidestep risks, as a global recession looks increasingly on the cards this year.
Major economies across the world are reporting a growth slowdown and weak forecasts for the remainder of 2022. Indeed, the International Monetary Fund head said earlier this week that it is downgrading its global economic growth forecast due to the impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Tesla boss Elon Musk’s calls for increasing oil and gas output following the invasion of Ukraine, will not dissuade investors from directing their portfolios towards renewable energy.
Musk says he is in support of hiking U.S. oil and gas output despite the “negative” effect it would have on his company. He tweeted to his more than 76 million followers: “Hate to say it, but we need to increase oil & gas output immediately. Extraordinary times demand

The forecast move by the U.S. Federal Reserve today to hike interest rates is spooking investors into making sure their portfolios are suitably diversified. Something they should be doing already.

The debate as to whether inflation is ‘transitory’ or not is now not in play and investors should be reviewing their investments.
Last week the Bank of England hiked interest rates for the first time in over three years in a bid to tackle mounting inflation, with the Monetary Policy Committee voting 8-1 in favour of the increase to 0.25%.
This followed on from the U.S. Federal Reserve lining up for faster rate hikes sooner than forecast as inflation soars. The central bank

On news that global sustainable fund assets have almost doubled in the six months through to September, I believe every investor now needs exposure to environmental, social and governance (ESG) investments in order to grow wealth over the long-term.
Global ESG assets are on course to surpass the $53 trillion mark by 2025, as per a Bloomberg Intelligence report, representing over a third of the $140.5 trillion in projected total assets under management.
Back in January last

Investors need to brace for a 10% market correction over the next month, as they make sense of the Fed’s stance on interest rates.
The U.S. central bank is forecast to announce it will begin to taper its $120 billion monthly bond purchases on Wednesday, and the real story for the markets is how the Federal Reserve will talk about inflation.
Indeed, inflation is becoming a much bigger issue than most analysts had predicted, so investors will be grappling to fight the trend of

I’m proud to announce we are doubling our commitment into environmental, social and governance (ESG) investments.
At the start of 2021, we said we would aim to have $1bn in socially responsible investment vehicles within five years. Yet now the goal is $2bn or more within that time.
The news come ahead of COP26 in Glasgow starting at the weekend, where world leaders, industry chiefs and experts will come together in a bid to prevent the worst effects

I’m confident that the booming NFT (non-fungible token) market will more than double in sales in a year as major investors continue to join the market.
Recent examples over the last week include Visa purchasing “CryptoPunk,” one of the thousands of NFT-based digital avatars, for close to $150,000 in Ethereum, and Marvel Entertainment unveiling its first official NFTs in the form of Spider-Man ‘digital statues.’
NFTs are unique digital assets designed to represent

We’re very pleased to announce that deVere is now offering clients a fixed-yield note, with the proceeds allocated to the financing of projects with a clear and defined environmental benefit, such as reducing carbon emissions.
This is predominantly due to surging interest on environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing, which we defined as decade’s ultimate megatrend.
Last June we revealed that 26% of clients across the globe are considering

NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are set to become a crucial part of the tech investment megatrend of the next decade.
This is despite declines in recent days of around 80% within the NFT market, from a peak of $102 million in NFT transactions in one day at the beginning of last month.
NFTs are digital collectibles encoded onto a blockchain – the technology that underpins cryptocurrencies - that create a unique digital watermark proving ownership and the digital rights to that

A number of vigilante investors who are being driven into the social media frenzy to buy stocks of companies like AMC could find themselves financially burned.
Last Thursday, AMC shares rose almost 40% as investors on the Reddit WallStreetBets board once again pushed the stock in an attempt to hit short sellers who bet against the theatre operator.
This follows on from similar action that kicked off in January when activist investors on Reddit pumped other out-of-favour
