Cavendish Tech Chat | A winter in AIM
November 2023
Is winter here? Or is winter still coming? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and where equity multiples fall so far, and UK equity performance is so subpar to the US, bidders invitably pounce. Through our own investigations, we examine the characteristics and bidders of the 51 tech takeouts since 2017 in our Joy of Techs sector report.

Which businesses should keep an eye on water scarcity?
April 2023
Growing levels of water scarcity pose a significant risk to businesses and the broader economy – it has been estimated that business-as-usual levels of water productivity and economic growth will increase the likelihood of water-related production shortfalls and economic disruptions related to water shortages, putting nearly $63tn or 45% of global GDP at risk by 2050.

Promises of net zero and an emerging 2-billion-dollar carbon credit market have invigorated action from governments and businesses alike. However, even under a best-case scenario, some degree of adaptation will be required. Physical climate risks pose a major yet often unappreciated threat to corporate assets and infrastructure.
