Greggory DiSalvo/iStock via Getty Images By Padhraic Garvey, CFA , Regional Head of Research, Americas and Benjamin Schroeder , Senior Rates Strategist Another day of waiting is likely through Thursday, and then we have an end game of sorts Another waiting game was initiated on Wednesday by the US. Apparently it's for "48 hours". So we'll be none the wiser as we progress through Thursday. The immediate soundings are remarkably positive, despite the lack of details. Given what we can scrape and glean, the nuts and bolts of the framework for an agreement sound similar to the type of deal that had been under discussion in Pakistan through 11/12 April. Back then, by all accounts, there was a uranium enrichment ban bid/offer stretching from 5 years (Iran preference) to 20 years (US preference). But US Vice President Vance walked away without an agreement. Subsequent weeks helped explain why. The soundings out of Iran had shown a contentious "no" to a ban on enrichment. And to boot, an ambition to maintain a degree of "monitoring control" over the Strait of Hormuz post the war, or at least as part of a future agreement. Accepted, there is absolutely some hard bargaining going on here. But there is also a sense of unease that Iran genuinely has these two hard lines that it is not willing to cross. If so, and we don't have an agreement, the risk could increase to a kinetic rekindling. The US does not want to go there. The "Epic Fury" is apparently over. But something must give. The market is betting on an agreement, mostly as a continuation of the war is not a stable outcome and does not really suit either side. It may well be that other players impact the outcome. Last week an Iranian delegation met the Russians, who no doubt said, keep up the good work. This week there is a meeting with the Chinese, and the soundings from there are likely along the lines that this needs to end. While the Chinese will not mind the bind that the US has found itself in, they, at the same tim...

Welcome to the Thursday issue of India Edition; I’m Menaka Doshi . Each week, I bring you a ringside view of the billionaires, businesses and policy decisions behind India’s rise as an emerging economic powerhouse. You can subscribe here , and share feedback with me here . This week: Something rotten in the state of Tata, interest in derivatives is falling and Korean stocks hit another milestone. Tata Does It Again Over its 100-year history, Bombay House, the Tata Group headquarters in Mumbai, has witnessed many epic power struggles . But none like this one. At a time of financial challenges across key group companies the top guard is intent on unseating each other. In February, the decision on a third term for Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran was deferred, casting a shadow on his ambitious new technology and manufacturing ventures. On Friday, a trusted friend of Ratan Tata may get ousted from Tata Trusts. Power battles, regulatory uncertainties and the existential issue of a public listing have intertwined to cloud the future of India’s $180 billion steel-to-salt conglomerate. How did it come to this? When he died two years ago, Ratan Tata left behind three competing power centers in charge of the group’s principal investment holding company Tata Sons and its owner Tata Trusts, which hold a 66% share. Homegrown leader Natarajan Chandrasekaran was CEO of the group’s most valuable company, TCS, before being appointed chairman of Tata Sons in 2017. Noel Tata is Ratan’s estranged half-brother, who’s waited in the shadows for his turn to lead the group. He took over as chairman of Tata Trusts in October 2024 and serves as nominee director on Tata Sons’ board. Other dramatis personae include Ratan’s friends, such as industrialist Venu Srinivasan, retired bureaucrat Vijay Singh and long-time confidant Mehli Mistry – who are either directors of Tata Sons or trustees of Tata Trusts, or in Srinivasan’s case, both. Maybe Ratan hoped their differences would serve as checks ...

Eva Blanco/iStock via Getty Images Overview The SRH Total Return Fund ( STEW ) offers investors a way to get a diversified portfolio of equities, while collecting a high dividend yield. When I previously covered STEW, I issued a buy rating due to the discounted valuation at the time. However, time has proven that this discount doesn't necessarily mean that it is a good time to accumulate. The fund's share price hasn't been able to fully participate in the market rally and it has underperformed against the S&P 500. STEW has released an updated annual report so I thought it would be a great time to reassess the fund's performance, outlook, and risk profile. At the time of my last coverage, STEW traded at a discount to NAV of 21.1%. Despite the fund's slight decline since then, STEW still trades at a similar discount to NAV of 21.08%. The graph below indicates that the fund has consistently traded at a large discount to NAV. For instance, STEW has traded at an average discount to NAV of 19.14% over the last five years. The fund's inability to decrease this discount is likely tied to its underlying portfolio strategy and large allocation to Berkshire Hathaway ( BRK.A )( BRK.B ). This large discount can also be a direct reflection of the fund's mixed long-term performance. CEF Data STEW now offers a starting dividend yield of about 4.5%, while issuing those payouts on a quarterly basis. Since the starting yield is so low, the fund hasn't historically had an issue with supporting distributions. The low dividend yield has also made it easy for STEW to steadily increase its NAV over time. Although STEW is structured as a closed-end fund, it has maintained a history of steadily raising payouts over time as well. Fund Strategy According to the latest fact sheet , STEW has total managed assets of $2.3B that are spread across only 23 different positions. The fund's primary objective is to provide capital appreciation while putting a higher emphasis on income generation. To achi...
