A revised Capital Adequacy Ordinance was released by the Swiss Federal Council early on April 22 and landed with a thud on UBS’s balance sheet. The new regulations, which go into effect on January 1, 2027, would require UBS to hold an additional $22 billion in CET1 capital. This amount would come from a proposed parliamentary measure that would require the full deduction of foreign participations from UBS AG’s standalone capital, as well as $2 billion from ordinance amendments covering software amortization and asset valuation.

The polished floors, quiet consultation rooms, and subtle antiseptic odor of a place that takes its work seriously are all signs that you are in an asset owned by Parkway Life REIT when you stroll through the hallways of Mount Elizabeth Hospital on Orchard Road in Singapore. This also applies to Parkway East Hospital on the island’s eastern edge and Gleneagles Hospital, one of Singapore’s most well-known private medical facilities. In contrast to central business district towers, these are not ostentatious trophy properties. However, they are vital, fully occupied, and subject to lengthy leases with a sponsor, IHH Healthcare, who…
A certain type of business does a great deal of work in the background of the global economy, such as sourcing cocoa for chocolate bars in European supermarkets, roasting coffee beans in cafes from Sydney to São Paulo, and sourcing grains and edible oils that feed people in Asia and Africa. Until something significant happens, retail investors hardly pay any attention to these businesses. That type of business is Olam Group. With Temasek Holdings as a key shareholder, it has been a part of Singapore’s business scene for decades, operating in over 60 countries and processing agricultural commodities on an…
The Hang Seng Index had dropped 350 points, or about 1.3 percent, and the Hang Seng Tech Index had dropped more than two percent by Wednesday at noon in Hong Kong. The turnover for the morning session was HKD 122.9 billion, not a low-volume decline. This was intentional, active selling. Reports that Sinopec Hong Kong intended to drastically reduce its holdings caused CATL, the leading battery manufacturer in China and one of the most closely watched stocks in the index, to drop more than 5%. JD Health saw a 4.3% decline. One of the year’s momentum stories, the jewelry brand…
You might pass a Mapletree property without realizing it if you drive through any of the main logistics corridors in South Korea, Japan, Singapore, or the industrial areas outside of Ho Chi Minh City. They don’t make a loud announcement about themselves. Seldom do large warehouses and distribution centers. They act as the unglamorous backbone of supply chains that transport consumer goods from factories to doorsteps, store goods, and handle shipments. With S$13.0 billion in assets and 174 properties spread across nine Asia-Pacific markets, Mapletree Logistics Trust was the first logistics REIT with an Asia-Pacific focus to list on the…
When you stand on the Yangtze River’s banks close to Jingjiang on a clear morning, you can see something that has been going on there since 1956 in one way or another: massive steel hulls forming in dry docks, cranes moving overhead, and the sound of welding and grinding resonating across the water. For almost 70 years, Yangzijiang Shipbuilding has been constructing ships on this section of the river. For customers located in Greece, Japan, France, Denmark, Canada, and twelve other nations, it produces containerships, tankers, bulk carriers, LNG vessels, and an increasing variety of specialized maritime equipment. In the…
Most visitors wouldn’t recognize the equipment inside any of the hundreds of data centers currently being built in North America and Europe. boards for distribution. software for managing power. controls for cooling. systems for monitoring energy. Most of the time, Schneider Electric owns the logos on those parts. Founded in a French steel town in 1836, the company has undergone a lengthy and sometimes nonlinear transformation to become one of the world’s most important infrastructure companies at a time when the world is investing unprecedented sums of money in precisely the kind of infrastructure Schneider specializes in. The stock is…
Adani Enterprises is a concentrated form of a certain type of business that seems to announce something new every week, such as the incorporation of a new subsidiary, the signing of a new joint venture, or the entry of a new industry. Adani Airport City Limited established seven new wholly-owned subsidiaries in just two weeks in April 2026. More than 90 lakh new shares were distributed through an amalgamation. The board declared that it would convene on April 30 to discuss the FY2026 results and a possible fundraising initiative. On April 22, however, the stock increased 1.44 percent, ending a…
On any given working day, you can see organized speed when you stroll through the Noida production facility. Mobile phone chassis traveling down lines to be sold by brands under their own names to customers who will probably never hear of Dixon Technologies, workers in assembly rows, screens being tested. The business is that invisibility. One of the biggest and fastest-growing contract manufacturers in India, Dixon produces televisions, washing machines, smartphones, LED lights, and an increasing variety of electronic products for businesses that would rather design and market than manufacture. For the majority of its existence, Dixon was a discreetly…
When you drive through the mining districts of Odisha or the coalfields of Jharkhand, you come across a landscape that doesn’t apologize for what it is: kilometers of open-cast pits, massive machines that move earth with the methodical patience of something that has been doing this for fifty years. Since the Indian government nationalized the coal industry and established the biggest coal-producing company in the world in November 1975, Coal India has been doing precisely that. The company still employs over 220,000 people, contributes about 82% of India’s total coal output, is listed in the Nifty 50, and has a…
