Right after the first wave of pandemic-related lockdowns ended, we decided to buy this fertilizer producer, as it had everything we were looking for, including a dirt-cheap valuation as nobody wanted to own cyclical commodity stocks.

Moody's Downgrades Ci Financial's Debt Ratings

The ratings agency says the move reflects "elevated acquisition-related liabilities and share repurchase activities.": Moody's Ratings has downgraded the debt of CI Financial, the Toronto-based asset and wealth manager that spun out its U.S. wealth management business into a sister company, Corient, earlier this year.

Moody's outlook on the ratings is stable.

Triplepoint Venture Growth: Even After The Correction The Attractiveness Is Low (tpvg)

In mid-February this year, I issued a bearish piece on TriplePoint Venture Growth (NYSE:TPVG) stating that given the financial characteristics of this BDC it is just not worth chasing extra basis points in yield here. The logic behind staying away from TPVG was simple and could be captured by the following three aspects: Plus, what made things worse is the fact that TPVG traded (and still trades) at a premium over its NAV base, which does not seem logical for me given the aforementioned dynamics.

State Capitalism In Private Markets: Mission Creep | Cfa Institute Enterprising Investor

Governments relish mingling in markets. Yet, if past policies are any guide, taxpayers are being shortchanged. : Governments worldwide have a long and storied history of directing capital flows to and within private markets to meet public policy objectives.
