Specialist lender says it expects its slice of £9.1bn compensation set by FCA to be about £320m Close Brothers shares surged on Wednesday after the UK bank declared it could “comfortably absorb” its slice of a £9.1bn compensation bill over the motor finance scandal, hours after one of its rivals announced it was selling its UK operations over looming costs. The specialist lender said it expected the final terms of the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) compensation scheme to cost roughly £320m, a sum that is “broadly similar” to previous estimates and the £294m put aside to date.

Hampstead theatre, London Michael Frayn’s cerebral drama of science and conscience returns with urgency – although this production struggles to ignite its emotional core Paapa Essiedu recently spoke of reviving only those plays that speak to the present moment . Michael Frayn’s 1998 drama could not better fit that bill. A dangerous hard-right politician who threatens to wipe out an entire civilisation sits at the heart of this three-hander about pioneering atomic physics caught in the warp of political violence and warfare. It is based on a real life meeting in 1941 between the Danish Niels Bohr (Richard Schiff) and the German Werner Heisenberg (Damien Molony), both brilliant quantum scientists on opposite sides during the second world war. The raging leader here is Hitler but echoes of Donald Trump could not be more resounding, given his recently expressed fantasy of genocide in his war with Iran. Continue reading...

Morsa Images/DigitalVision via Getty Images April 7th was a really interesting day for shareholders of Alignment Healthcare ( ALHC ). Shares of the company closed up 16% after some interesting industry news came out. No company-specific developments occurred. What we do know, at least those who follow the company closely, is that management has been growing the business at a rapid pace. These industry developments should, in the long run, bode well for the company. But in the short run, there is the possibility of some margin compression. Having said that, it's clear that the market has turned bullish on the firm, at least in the near term. At the time this article is published, it will have been exactly one year to the day since I last wrote about Alignment Healthcare. In that article, published in April of 2025, I ended up calling the business a ‘hold’ candidate. I found the business model to be fascinating. However, the stock did not offer the fundamental health to justify a bullish outlook at that time. Since then, shares have risen 14.4%, which unfortunately has underperformed the 33.3% increase that the market saw. Although this recent move up, the sad truth is that the stock is still not priced at levels to justify a bullish assessment. So for now, the best thing that I can do is to reaffirm it as a ‘hold’ candidate. A health check for Alignment Healthcare Given the amount of time that has passed since I last wrote about Alignment Healthcare, I think a bit of detail regarding what the company is and what it does is warranted. At its core, the firm is a consumer-centric platform that focuses on improving healthcare experiences for seniors. It does this by offering up its own Medicare Advantage plans that are customized specifically with seniors in mind. The firm utilizes certain predictive algorithms that are fed to it using medical and demographic data in order to identify the risks of a significant medical event on a customer-by-customer basis. And then, thr...
