Dirk von Mallinckrodt/iStock via Getty Images By Bob Herr, David Wong, Haruna Usui, CMA and Trevor Kwong Korea’s value-up reforms are realizing important governance gains. Proxy voting can help cement them. Corporate governance in South Korea has become an investment opportunity. Since 2024, the government has used persuasion and legal pressure to improve governance in several areas, including capital allocation and protection of minority shareholders. The results have been positive, and we see potential for further gains. The best way for investors to capture these, in our view, is through a combination of fundamental research and proxy voting. The scale of the opportunity can be gauged from the Korea Value-Up Index (KVI), which showcases companies that meet a range of governance criteria. Since its launch in late 2024, the KVI has outperformed the more broadly based Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI 200) by more than 30% ( Display ). The outperformance has been driven to a small extent by flows into KVI-linked exchange-traded funds (ETFs), but it mainly reflects a positive correlation between strong corporate governance and higher investment returns. This correlation lies at the heart of the investment opportunity in South Korea, in our view, and underscores the importance of active stewardship. Reforms Carry Legal Weight The reforms are significant because they aim to change a key structural feature of the South Korean economy and share market. Since the 1950s, the country’s economy has been dominated by chaebols—large, family-owned conglomerates characterized by cross-shareholdings, low return on equity and conflicts between controlling and minority shareholders. They are widely regarded as causing the “Korea Discount,” or the lower valuations at which Korean shares typically trade relative to global peers. Inspired partly by similar initiatives in Japan, the South Korean government in early 2024 launched the Corporate Value-Up Program to promote improvem...

The DividendRank formula at Dividend Channel ranks a coverage universe of thousands of dividend stocks, according to a proprietary formula designed to identify those stocks that combine two important characteristics — strong fundamentals and a valuation that looks inexpensive. Tri Continental Corporation (Symbol: TY) presently has an above average rank, in the top 50% of the coverage universe, which suggests it is among the top most "interesting" ideas that merit further research by investors. But making Tri Continental Corporation an even more interesting and timely stock to look at, is the fact that in trading on Monday, shares of TY entered into oversold territory, changing hands as low as $30.70 per share. We define oversold territory using the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which is a technical analysis indicator used to measure momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30. In the case of Tri Continental Corporation, the RSI reading has hit 29.4 — by comparison, the universe of dividend stocks covered by Dividend Channel currently has an average RSI of 43.3. A falling stock price — all else being equal — creates a better opportunity for dividend investors to capture a higher yield. Indeed, TY's recent annualized dividend of 1.1064/share (currently paid in quarterly installments) works out to an annual yield of 3.52% based upon the recent $31.41 share price. A bullish investor could look at TY's 29.4 RSI reading today as a sign that the recent heavy selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and begin to look for entry point opportunities on the buy side. Among the fundamental datapoints dividend investors should investigate to decide if they are bullish on TY is its dividend history. In general, dividends are not always predictable; but, looking at the history chart below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue.

In Brief Anthropic has made good on its promise to challenge the Department of Defense in court after the agency labeled it a supply chain risk late last week. The Claude-maker filed a complaint against the Department on Monday. The complaint comes after a weeks-long conflict between Anthropic and the DOD over whether the military should have unrestricted access to Anthropic’s AI systems. Anthropic had two firm red lines: it didn’t want its technology to be used for mass surveillance of Americans and didn’t believe it was ready to power fully autonomous weapons with no humans making targeting and firing decisions. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth argued that the Pentagon should have access to AI systems for “any lawful purpose.” A supply chain risk label is usually reserved for foreign adversaries, and requires any company or agency that does work with the Pentagon to certify that it doesn’t use Anthropic’s models. Anthropic called the DOD’s actions “unprecedented and unlawful” in a complaint filed in San Francisco federal court. “The Constitution does not allow the government to wield its enormous power to punish a company for its protected speech.” This story is developing.

is a senior reporter who’s been covering and reviewing the latest gadgets and tech since 2006, but has loved all things electronic since he was a kid. Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. Yashica has announced a new throwback camera called the Tank for photographers embracing the recent resurgence in the popularity of point-and-shoots. But while Canon’s resurrected Elph 360 HS costs close to $400 and the $30 Kodak Charmera produces awful results, the Yashica Tank appears to offer a decent amount of functionality for the price. It’s available for preorder now through the company’s online store for 798 HKD, or just over $100 US, and expected to start shipping around March 27th. Inside the Tank is a ½.8-inch sensor that can capture 12-megapixel images with a “nostalgic photographic character,” the company says. You can push the photo resolution up to 36 megapixels if you’re okay with upscaling, while the camera’s video capabilities max out at 4K / 30fps. There’s also auto-focus capabilities and a built-in flash, along with features like exposure compensation, ISO adjustments up to 6,400, various white balance options, four different metering modes, and 11 photo filters to choose from. It’s relative low-res, but the Tank has a three-inch LCD preview screen that flips up for taking selfies. Image: Yashica On the back of the camera, you’ll find a 3-inch preview screen. Its resolution is a paltry 640 x 360, but it does flip up 180-degrees so you can position it facing forward for framing selfies or videos. MicroSD memory cards are supported up to 256GB in size, and the Tank comes with an 800mAh rechargeable battery. It’s not known how many shots it can accommodate, but it will probably last for a full day of shooting. On the front of the camera is a faux leather grip that comes in four colors: sky blue, black, brown, and pink marshmallow. The Tank is available in sky blue, black, brown, and pink marshmallow color options. ...

A woman who alleged she was raped by Andrew Malkinson admitted to police 22 years ago that she “wasn’t too sure it was the right man,” a court has heard. Malkinson spent 17 years in prison for an attack he did not commit in what jurors heard was a “most terrible” miscarriage of justice. Paul Quinn is now on trial at Manchester crown court accused of the 2003 rape after fresh DNA tests allegedly linked him to the victim. Quinn’s barrister, Lisa Wilding KC, said the complainant had told Malkinson’s trial in 2004 that she was “more than 100% sure” that he was the attacker. “At no stage after that day in 2004 did you go to the police and say I’ve got that wrong,” the barrister said. The witness replied: “I did,” adding: “I can’t remember which one it was. At one of the trials I remember telling one of them that I wasn’t too sure it was the right man and they said: ‘Don’t worry, it’s just trial nerves, it will all be OK.’ I remember telling this to Helen, the detective.” The woman, who cannot be identified, told jurors she repeated these doubts to her husband “but he kept saying ‘No, we got the right person’.” Malkinson, 60, was released from prison in December 2020 after new DNA tests identified saliva from another man on her vest, the jury had been told. The court heard that Malkinson was identified by the woman in a digital ID parade three days after the alleged attack. Occasionally dabbing away tears with a tissue, the woman said she had given police a description of the man over the following hours but that it had been dark at the time of the incident.

Photograph: Facebook Asked by Wilding whether she thought twice about giving a description of the attacker given that it was dark, the woman replied: “I didn’t think straight because I was traumatised.” She added: “I did have a face but it wasn’t clear because it was dark. I gave them the ...

If you thought Anthropic was about to run away with the enterprise AI business...you're not totally off the mark, actually. This morning, Microsoft announced "Copilot Cowork" a new cloud-based AI agentic automation tool within Microsoft's existing AI tool 365 Copilot, except now it can complete work on users' behalf across many Microsoft apps, instead of contained within each one. If it sounds suspiciously similar to Anthropic's own "Claude Cowork" applications for Mac and Windows (released in January and February of 2026, respectively) that's to be expected — as Microsoft and Anthropic worked together on this new feature. Copilot Cowork is the centerpiece of what Microsoft is calling "Wave 3" of Microsoft 365 Copilot — a sweeping platform update that also brings agentic capabilities directly into individual Office apps, makes Anthropic's Claude models available in mainline Copilot Chat, and introduces new enterprise pricing tiers designed to bundle AI productivity with security and governance. Anthropic's initial Claude Cowork applications released in the first two months of 2026 helped trigger a $285 billion selloff in enterprise software stocks as investors repriced companies whose core functionality — project management, writing, data analysis, workflow automation — overlapped with what Anthropic's AI could do. Thus, to some AI power users and observers in business and tech who have shared their views on X, the arrival of the closely named and similarly featured Copilot Cowork appears to be an instance of Microsoft playing "catch up." Like Claude Cowork, Copilot Cowork users to delegate complex, multi-step tasks to an AI agent that plans, executes, and delivers finished work — in this case, the AI is able to move across and use all the tools and features of Microsoft's Outlook, Teams, Excel, PowerPoint, and other M365 applications. CEO Satya Nadella promoted the launch on X, writing: "Announcing Copilot Cowork, a new way to complete tasks and get work done in M3...

Attempted attack with explosives in New York City investigated as "ISIS-inspired terrorism" toggle caption Joseph B. Frederick/AP New York City police commissioner Jessica Tisch said on Monday that an attempted bomb attack during a protest on Saturday outside Mayor Zohran Mamdani's official residence is being investigated by the NYPD and the FBI as "act of ISIS-inspired terrorism." Australian officials say ISIS, also known as the Islamic State, inspired the deadly Bondi Beach terror attack last year that killed 15 people and left dozens more seriously injured. At a press conference, Tisch said federal charges are expected to be unsealed soon against two men allegedly involved in the incident. Sponsor Message She identified the suspects, who are both in custody, as Emir Balat, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, both from Pennsylvania. "These were not hoax devices nor smoke bombs. They were improvised explosive devices that could have caused serious injury or death," Tisch said, referring to two devices thrown on Saturday. According to Tisch, at least one of the devices was made with triacetone triperoxide, or TATP, a chemical widely used by IED bomb-makers around the world. "Devices like these have the potential to cause devastating harm," she said. NYPD officials say a third device, which did not contain explosive material, was also identified and disposed of on Sunday in a vehicle nearby. The incident occurred during an anti-Muslim protest on Saturday organized by far-right activist Jake Lang that targeted Mamdani, who is New York City's first Muslim mayor. The non-violent rally attracted counter-protesters. Officials say Balat and Kayumi then allegedly targeted the right-wing protesters with the explosive devices. At Monday's press conference, Mamdani condemned the original protest as inspired by "bigotry" but he described political violence as unacceptable. "Many of the counter-protesters met this display of bigotry peacefully," Mamdani said. "A few did not. Two men, Am...
