Astorg VIII

Oh, what a great series of films!

I can't wait until this latest one is released.

'Boss ...'

Paris/Luxembourg, 27 July 2023 - Astorg is pleased to announce a further closing of its flagship fund, Astorg VIII, bringing total fund commitments to €4 billion. This represents circa.90% of Astorg VIII’s target size and hard cap of €4.5 billion, a nearly 10% increase on its predecessor fund. Astorg will be accepting commitments in respect of Astorg VIII until January 31, 2024. This further closing brings together new investors across geographies, existing investors in prior Astorg funds which had yet to commit to Astorg VIII, and investors which had committed early to Astorg VIII and which have decided to increase their exposure.

Well, that's not a film, is it?! What the hell is going on?! Christ!

Maybe Jean will make some sense ...

"This interim closing further illustrates the appeal of Astorg's investment strategy to major international investors, despite challenging fundraising market conditions, and brings additional diversification of Astorg's investor base across categories and geographies. We also see the early success of Astorg's enhanced focus on family offices and high net worth individuals worldwide," comments Jean Raby, Head of Business Development, Astorg.

Well, okay.

'It's just finance, boss.'

Yeah.

I'm disappointed.

There is some good news though.

'What?'

We've got two voices talking together, Voice ... like those two girls in The Shining.

'Yippee!'

Normally, I wouldn't approve, but ... it's the closest we'll get to the movies.

Judith Charpentier and Lorenzo Zamboni, Co-Heads of Astorg's flagship fund, comment: "This further interim closing highlights the recognition by investors of the relevance of our investment strategy in what is seen as a more adverse macro-economic environment. It also speaks to the outstanding resilience of our performance through cycles. Our four investments are performing at or above plan and we see meaningful potential upside from the value creation plans we are implementing with the relevant management teams. We continue to see significant opportunities across our target segments, and are fully committed to delivering outstanding returns for our growing LP base."

Shivers down my spine, basically.

'Ha!'

Well, horror on a Monday morning ... Why not?

ENDS

...

Anything else, kooks?

I finished my big poem at the weekend.

'Nice one, Mikey!'

Thanks, Voice.

I wrote the last fifteen lines in about twenty minutes with hardly any polishing, and they might be the best lines of the whole poem. They just came out of me, you know?

Also, I finished my new song on Friday. Endless Fun. I've recorded it, BUT(!) ... I might record it again.

You dig?

Never mind.

Here's my BIG DOZEN -

Endless Fun

Mighty Soul

Shady, Dodgy, Shifty

The Future

Life and Death

Nothing

This World Don't Mean a Thing

Lovers On The Make

Stella

Malibu

What's This Life We Live?

Vampires adding £147 to Brits' bills

Outrageous!

'This is a disgrace, boss!'

Yes, Voice.

Hi Michael,

'Is that one of the vampires?! / Hey, vampire -'

No. Calm down. Christ. It's Issy.

Brits have been told how to save £147 a year on their energy bills by turning off the 10 "vampire appliances".

'Oh, okay.'

Unplugging these common household items instead of leaving them on standby mode will quickly bring down energy bills. 

The experts at Quotezone.co.uk have named the ten household appliances that use the most energy in standby mode.

Right.

What does Greg say?

Greg Wilson, Founder at Quotezone.co.uk, says: "The simplest way for families to reduce their energy usage and save money is to eliminate unnecessary electricity use.

"Leaving appliances on standby means that they'll still be draining power even when you're not using them which causes unnecessary costs on your energy bills.

"Something as simple as flicking a switch can prevent the vampire appliances from eating up almost a quarter of your energy consumption.

"It's an easy win because you don't even have to make any major changes to your everyday habits to reduce these energy bills - it's just tricky to work out who the culprits are, so we've done some research and compiled a top ten list to help people identify which energy draining appliances to switch off and start saving."

Okay, Greg. 

Uh ...

Here are the ten appliances that use the most standby energy from the team at Quotezone.co.uk:

Games console

Besides the running costs, leaving your gaming console on standby for a whole year will cost you £27.52. Modern gaming consoles are much more powerful than they used to be and consume a lot of energy because they are connected to the internet even when they're in standby mode.

Desktop computer

A lot of people are working from home nowadays and are using their computers for most of the day which already adds a considerable sum of money to their electricity bills. Leaving the computer on standby will add another £13.39 to their annual bills.

Laptop

The annual standby cost of laptops is £10.41. The good thing with laptops is that you can unplug them as soon as they've got enough charge instead of letting them eat up power all day.

Okay, thanks.

'There's more, boss!'

I know there is, but ...

'What?'

It's not a PR email about vampires, is it?

'It's about vampire appliances.'

Yeah. I thought we were getting something about vampires though. I mean, real vampires, you dig?

'FFS! You should read these emails more carefully before you commit to writing the posts.'

I've got 125 lines of my big free verse poem. 95 of them are polished. I need to write another 30.

Well, I'm looking forward to writing some short poems after this.

[No. 1,118] Picasso in his seventies

I think that was the best time of his life, you know?

And in the 1950s[1], and his life changed after the Second World War ... big time![1], and in the 1950s[2], and all his great work was done, but ... he wasn't deep into his decline - at that point[1], and his life changed after the Second World War ... big time![2], and he was world famous, and rich[1], and all his great work was done, but ... he wasn't deep into his decline - at that point[2], and he was seen as the greatest artist of the twentieth century[1], and he was world famous, and rich[2], and, oh! ... the greatest painter ever - as far as I'm concerned[1], and he was seen as the greatest artist of the twentieth century[2], and as some critic said: he was starting his new career as the legend of Picasso[1], and, oh!

He gets around, don't he?

'He gets a-ROUND?'

He gets around.

'Oh, okay.'

Anyway ...

UXCO Group, investor, developer and operator of student and co-living real-estate (PBSA) in France, has announced the VEFA acquisition of a future ECLA-branded residence near Geneva.

Full details on this announcement can be found in the attached press release, together with visuals of the future residence.

Yeah, yeah.
