Harvest

More finance!

I'm a glutton for punishment!

Anyway ...

Did I see you down in a young girl's town with your mother in so much pain? I was almost there at the top of the stairs with her screaming in the rain.

Did she wake you up to tell you that it was only a change of plan? Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup with the promise of a man.

No, that can't be right.

'What's this, boss?'

Hold on!

London Stock Exchange battles to stay relevant as pound hits record low

So ...

Experts warn that without changes, London's status as a global market could be downgraded to a regional exchange.

'Yeah, yeah. We've heard this before, boss. Is this a PR email from Nayan and Chloe?'

Yes, Voice. They're all right.

Nayan Gala, founder of global investment banking platform, JPIN, explains how the UK could benefit from reassessing its regulatory stance.

Fine

Hi Michael

Hello!

I hope you're well. Do let me know if you'd like to hear more from Nayan on this, or any related topics.

Okay.

With Friday's mini-budget marking the biggest tax cut since 1972, the Truss government is now well and truly on track with their long-term plans to boost Britain's economic growth and stimulate innovation.

Er ...

'Boss.'

What?

'When did you receive this email?'

Hang on a minute ... I don't know ... a few days ago, I think.

'Right. Look, why don't you do the new emails that come in every morning?'

Because I don't like all the emails, Voice! And I save the ones I like the look of.

'Okay.'

Anyway ...

The £45 million package included the announcement that corporation tax is set to remain at 19% instead of rising to 25%, which could pump a further £19 billion back into the economy.

Er ...

However, with the pound sterling tumbling to $1.03 against the dollar yesterday, experts are now warning that the new tax reforms in addition to the country's soaring interest rates, could increase the risk of global inflation. In addition to this, Nayan Gala -

Listen! I don't want to go through all this, man. I mean ... this is a music blog, kooks. 'And a fitness blog.' Yes, and a motivational blog.

WE DON'T DISCUSS FINANCE!!!

Anyway ...

Nayan? Come on, son!

Nayan Gala, investment specialist and founder of JPIN, comments on how the UK could benefit from relaxing current regulations:

"London has always been an attractive destination for companies looking to go public, with a particular interest from international businesses. The last few years have evidently raised a few hiccups on the road - but now, particularly with the opportunities Brexit has provided, regulations that once came with the stock market must be eased in response to this. This will likely assist with boosting the stock volume, value and quality, and could result in a significance bounce back of the LSE."

Okay, okay.

Only one question, Nayan ... Have you done your push-ups this morning?

[Crickets.]

'I don't think he has, boss. I don't think he does push-ups.'

Nayan, I want you to start off small ... just fifty push-ups every morning, Monday to Friday. You can have the weekends off.

Get back to me soon with your progress.

...

Anything else? Music?

Kooks, don't worry about my demo. It will be all right as long as my two best songs are on it ...

Mighty Soul

Shady, Dodgy, Shifty

You dig?

Now, pretty soon I'll have seventeen songs, and then I'll be able to concentrate on rehearsing and maybe playing lead guitar again.

[Should I buy a Yamaha keyboard ... ???]

And when I do write new songs ... I'll reject all ideas that aren't on the level of the two songs above ...

BECAUSE ...

As an unknown artist ... what use will other songs be to me?

'No use!'

Seventeen songs is enough, man. For the moment. You dig?

UNLESS ...

They're as special as these two ...

Mighty Soul

Shady, Dodgy, Shifty

I hope you dig.

Laters.

'Again!'

Mighty Soul

Shady, Dodgy, Shifty

Three times!

'Bye!'

DAI Magister Academy launched to support emerging market start-up founders

Okay.

Good Morning Michael,

Yeah, hello. 'Who's that?!' I don't know.

A new Academy for early-stage companies has been launched by DAI Magister, the boutique investment bank.

Oh, okay.

The DAI Magister Academy is a free service aimed at companies that have already raised at least $2m, and who are looking to raise a larger round, but one that is below DAI Magister's traditional $30m+ round size focus.

The Academy has already provided this service successfully to its first cohort of ten African companies and is now rolling out more broadly across the African ecosystem and eventually into other emerging markets such as MENA and Pakistan. In addition, the plan is to provide this service to companies in Europe focused on climate tech, where DAI Magister has deep expertise.

Please find a full press release below -

Eh?! 'I thought that was the full press release!' So did I, Voice. 'Christ!' Uh. Full press release. Whatever.

If you'd like further information or to speak with Victor Basta -

Victor?! No.

Kind regards,

Benny

Listen, kooks! I'm not in the mood this morning. I think we've covered most of it, and -

'Let's just go to the voice.'

Eh? You're The Voice, man.

'No. The Victor voice.'

Oh, right.

Yeah, come on, Victor. There's no harm in it, I suppose.

Victor Basta, Co-Head, DAI Magister Ltd, states: "We have developed this individualized program to stand apart from the traditional and more generic set of services generally offered to early-stage companies. For us the primary focus is to provide free, tailored advice to each specific company. This means a far more responsive and knowledgeable approach based on local market experience. To date we have run ten companies through the Academy from across Africa and the response has been terrific.

"Our objective is to help founders and start-ups to focus on what that company needs to improve, highlight and/or get right before it raises a larger round. Founders get one go at this often challenging milestone, so it is imperative they get the basics right to secure a successful next round of fundraising."

Fair enough. Good luck with it, Victor. 'He hasn't finished!' FFS!

Basta concludes: "For those founders and companies with huge ambition, the DAI Magister Academy is a resource we would urge them to take advantage of. This service is entirely free with the work being done by the same professionals who advise larger companies through significant fundraises. The teams therefore have the knowledge and experience of knowing what best-in-class looks like when an ambitious business looks to raise $30m+ and eventually much more."

Okay, okay.

ENDS

Some mornings ... you know? 'You're just not in the mood.' I'm just not in the mood.

ENDS

...

Anything else?

Oh, Voice.

'What?'

Don't you have some business on the astral plane?

'Yeah, but it can wait until we've finished this post.'

Well, you can go now if you like. I'm only going to be talking about fitness with the readers. You know, giving them a quick update.

'Okay. See you later then.'

Laters.

Anyway, kooks ... I'm stopping the dumbbells for a while because my arm and shoulder are still hurting and ...

Has he gone?

Voice!

Yeah, anyway ...

Mighty Soul

Shady, Dodgy, Shifty

Listen, kooks! I don't care what The Voice says. I don't care if the internet is reduced to ashes. That should be the demo!

Also, I think this is the best start to any album ever -

From U2's The Joshua Tree.

Well, I can beat that -

You dig?

Oh, I hope so.

I hope you do dig.

Just imagine!

Imagine being a big idiot and getting yourself into debt by borrowing billions and billions of pounds ...

'Okay. Sounds crazy, boss.'

Yes, Voice. But you haven't heard the best bit. Instead of spending the money on something useful ... you give the money away to people who already have loads of money.

'Ha, ha, ha! You live in a dream world, you do!'

Do I? Do I really?

'Yes. That would never happen in the real world. No one would be that dumb. It's just one of your sick fantasies.'

Well, well ...

Never mind, eh?

Anything else?

'Let's talk about music and random shit!'

Okay. What's the funniest episode of Only Fools and Horses ... ?

'Er ...'

I'll tell you. Friday the 14th. That's the one where they go on a fishing/poaching trip to Cornwall and have to deal with an escaped axe murderer.

'Ha! Sounds like a laugh a minute!'

Well, it is actually, Voice. Quite a few laughs a minute, actually.

Anyway ...

I was considering adding The Future to my demo at the weekend. Again, yeah. I decided against it though because I've realized - when you listen to the rough recordings, like, like I do - it really overshadows my best songs Mighty Soul and Shady, Dodgy, Shifty. Not through songwriting skill, you understand ... but just through the power of the music. It's a strange one.

'Save it for the second album, boss. You might need it.'

That's true. Think of all the artists who "disappear" after a very successful debut album. And the older you are, the more likely that is to happen. But it could never happen with The Future BECAUSE ... it's the most powerful rock song ever, the greatest rock song ever!!!

But this could be the demo online -

Mighty Soul

Shady, Dodgy, Shifty

The Future

'What, and destroy the internet?! Behave!'

Mighty Soul

Shady, Dodgy, Shifty

Nothing

Stella

'That's better.'

Oh, one other thing! ... my music, like ... I only rehearsed for six and a half hours last week. Why?!

Because I sound better now than when I was rehearsing twenty-five hours a week - years ago, like.

Obviously, it would be better if I didn't slack off, but ...

I don't know. I still need those two lyrics, man. You dig? 'When are you going to write them?' I don't know.

Soon. Maybe.

I'm looking forward to buying that new Bowie documentary for my phone, but it won't be released until the middle of November.

I should stop buying videos.

Never mind.

Human authority is demonic

Remember when I wrote: You don't need the devil if you have a leader ... ?

That is so true.

Just look at the world!

But never mind, eh?

Dolphins are superior beings. They weren't given arms or legs because the cosmos didn't want them getting mixed up in any bullshit. Think about it.

But never mind, eh?

Karajan believed in reincarnation. He said he wanted to come back as an eagle. I can respect that. An eagle is a fine choice.

So ...

Music ... ???

Music is my obsession.

A lot depends on how good the lyric for Life and Death turns out to be. I probably won't try to make logical sense with it.

I just want to feel - with the words, you understand?

If it all goes well ... I'm going to start calling myself the greatest songwriter ever. Yes, with my BIG TEN.

Deal with it.

The BIG TWENTY can take years, I don't care. Maybe the SMALL TEN will be my next smart move.

Let me close my eyes.

...

I've been thinking about Kafka's The Trial. That novel is about a lot more than the material world we see all around us. However, Kafka's three sisters all died in the Holocaust. That's really grim.

And the point I'm making is ...

Well ...

It's the dolphins we should be looking up to, and respecting.

Do you understand?

They're closer to the cosmos than "we" are. [Not me! You!]

Unless, as a human, you're a spiritual aristocrat. Kafka was definitely one. His visions may have been dark, but he was full of light himself.

Raise your consciousness!

Refinitiv Lipper: European ETF market report - August 2022

Ha, ha, ha! I knew Detlef would come through.

Let's do this!

ETF promoters in Europe enjoyed estimated net inflows (+€1.3 bn) for August 2022.

Assets under management in the European ETF industry decreased over the course of August to €1,284.0 bn.

Bond ETFs (+€5.2 bn) posted the highest estimated net inflows in the European ETF industry for August.

The best-selling Lipper global classification for August was Equity Global (+€4.1 bn), followed by Bond USD Government (+€1.5 bn) and Bond Emerging Markets Global HC (+€1.5 bn).

UBS ETF was the best-selling ETF promoter in Europe for August (+€2.7 bn), ahead of iShares (+€0.9 bn) and Vanguard (+€0.5 bn).

The 10 best-selling funds gathered estimated net inflows of €6.1 bn for August.

The best-selling ETF for August, UBS ETF (IE) MSCI ACWI SF UCITS ETF (hedged to USD) A-acc, enjoyed estimated net inflows of €1.3 bn.

Okay.

'What does Detlef say?'

Jesus! Give him a chance, Voice.

Come on, Detlef. In your own time, son.

Detlef?

'Ha!'

Oh, here he is!

Detlef Glow, Head of EMEA Research at Refinitiv Lipper, comments: "The ETF promoter in Europe enjoyed estimated net inflows for August 2022 after the first negative month for the European ETF industry since March 2020. These inflows occurred in a negative and volatile market environment in which investor sentiment was impacted by high inflation rates, increasing interest rates, geopolitical tensions, and disrupted delivery chains caused by the still ongoing The Thing in Europe and other parts of the world."

Well ... it's not ongoing, is it? The Thing.

Never mind.

Thanks, Detlef!

ENDS

...

Anything else? Music?

Well ...

How about a SMALL TEN ... eh?

'What's that, boss?'

It's a SMALL TEN.

'Yeah, what is that, FFS?'

It is - or could be - ten great but short pop/rock songs. No longer than three minutes. I've got three so far.

Christ, Voice! It's a SMALL TWENTY list I made years ago. 'Oh, okay.' I could probably revise it. I mean, A Hard Day's Night should probably be higher. And We Can Work It Out should definitely be third or fourth.

Anyway ...
