A Nepali climbing guide who went missing on Mount Everest for six days and was feared dead has been found alive after crawling back to Base Camp, officials said on Thursday. The experienced Hillary Dawa Sherpa vanished on the upper reaches of the world’s highest mountain early on May 30. He was found on Thursday morning close to Base Camp by the Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee (SPCC), a Nepali team that helps set routes on Everest and clean up waste left behind. “He was crawling down,”...

Umnat Seebuaphan/iStock via Getty Images Fund performance ▪ Columbia Mortgage Opportunities Fund Institutional Class shares returned 0.73% for the three months ending March 31, 2026. ▪ The fund's benchmark, the Financial Times and the London Stock Exchange (FTSE) One-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, returned 0.91% for the same period. Market overview The first quarter of 2026 presented investors with a complex and challenging environment, characterized by the intersection of geopolitical instability, energy market disruptions, technological disruption concerns and shifting macroeconomic dynamics. The quarter began with risk assets posting positive returns. Equities and credit were supported by rising growth outlooks, as U.S. economic activity data exceeded expectations and inflation moderated, suggesting a more favorable environment for consumers. However, this positive data led to higher U.S. Treasury yields across the yield curve, creating headwinds for duration-sensitive assets. (Duration is a measure of a bond's sensitivity to changes in interest rates.) The U.S. Federal Reserve paused its rate-cutting cycle and delivered more constructive statements on growth, causing front-end yields to sell off as rate-cut expectations were pushed further out. The President's nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Fed chair had limited immediate market impact, although bond yields drifted slightly higher. Geopolitical risks intensified following a U.S. operation to remove Venezuelan President Maduro and presidential rhetoric regarding control of Greenland. While markets found some relief after the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, supposed risk-off assets like gold surged and the CBOE Volatility Index ( VIX ) trended higher, signaling rising broad-market concern. February continued the volatility theme. Market focus shifted dramatically to the disruptive potential of artificial intelligence ( AI ), creating significant performance dispersion across sectors. U.S. labor-mark...

Images By Tang Ming Tung/DigitalVision via Getty Images NCR Atleos: Investment Thesis In my Jun. 22, 2025 article, " NCR Atleos: Reports Of Death Of Cash Are Greatly Exaggerated ", and with the stock at $27.98, I rated the NCR Atleos ( NATL ) stock a Buy in recognition of the company's efforts to convert the provision of ATMs to an expanded service of ATM as a Service ("ATMaaS") affording retail businesses and banks an opportunity to outsource a large part of their labour-intensive customer services. Since that time, on Feb. 26, 2026, the Brink's Company ( BCO ) and NCR Atleos Corporation announced a proposed transaction whereby Brink's would acquire NCR Atleos in a cash and share offer valued at the time at $50.40 per NCR Atleos share (based on $30 cash plus 0.1574 Brink's shares per 1 NCR Atleos share and Brink's stock price of $129.58 at close on Feb. 25, 2026). At Brink's closing share price of $102.97 at close on Jun 2, 2026, the current value of the offer to NCR Atleos shareholders has declined to $46.21 per share. This $46.21, which is subject to continuing variation based on changes in the Brink's share price and is not expected to become due until the end of Q1 2027 after completion of shareholder and regulatory approvals, is $1.89 above the NCR Atleos closing share price of $44.32 at close on Jun 2, 2026. On May 27, 2026, both NCR Atleos and Brink's filed proxy statements advising the proposed business combination would be put to a vote of the respective shareholders on Jun. 30, 2026, with provision for an adjournment to solicit further proxies if needed to pass the resolutions. Only shareholders of record at close of business on May 11, 2026, will be eligible to vote on the resolutions. The vote by the two groups of shareholders on Jun. 30, 2026, becomes quite crucial. If either NCR Atleos or Brink's shareholders fail to approve the business combination on Jun. 30, or at any adjourned meeting, the transaction cannot proceed. Brink's shareholders might see...
