Indian investment tech startup Smallcase has raised $50 million in a series D funding round led by Elev8 Venture Partners, with participation from State Street Global Advisors, Niveshaay AIF, Faering Capital, and Arkam Ventures. The Bengaluru-based company plans to use the funds to diversify its investment products, enhance partnerships with financial institutions, and improve its technology and data analytics capabilities.

UBS Asset Management and DWS have renamed numerous ESG ETFs following MSCI's rebranding of over 100 ESG indices to comply with updated European and UK sustainability naming regulations. DWS will implement stricter sustainability criteria and exclusions for certain sectors in its ETFs, while UBS will remove "ESG" and "SDG" from several fund names. These changes are set to take effect on February 3, 2025, aligning with new regulatory requirements.
The 10-year Treasury yield is nearing 4.8%, raising concerns among investors as inflation shows signs of reacceleration. With expectations for Fed rate cuts diminishing, strategists debate the impact of rising yields on stocks, with a consensus forming around 5% as a critical threshold. Despite these challenges, many believe that earnings growth will ultimately drive equity performance this year.
Two ETFs targeting private credit have launched, marking a significant step in opening the $30 trillion sector to a broader range of investors. BondBloxx's fund focuses on middle-market collateralized loan obligations, while Virtus targets AAA-rated private credit CLOs. Despite growing interest, challenges remain regarding asset valuation and liquidity in this untested market.
ETFs are rapidly gaining traction, now representing 12% of investable assets, with a projected growth to surpass mutual funds by 2034. Active ETFs are increasingly popular, capturing significant inflows, particularly in fixed income, while AI-themed ETFs are attracting investor interest across various sectors. As interest rates fluctuate, the demand for active core bond ETFs is expected to rise, reflecting a shift towards strategies that balance income and stability.
Bitcoin approached the $100,000 mark this week, reaching within $1,000 before retreating to around $96,150. Analysts express caution, noting that the psychological barrier of $100,000 may hinder further gains, with some investors cashing in on recent highs. Concerns about market leverage and potential corrections loom, yet optimism remains if political promises to the crypto sector materialize.
Bitcoin approached the $100,000 mark this week, trading around $95,600 after a brief dip to $90,702.27, as investors took profits amid concerns that the psychological barrier may hinder further gains. Analysts suggest that the recent surge could mislead investors, with some viewing it as a return play rather than a reflection of intrinsic value. Meanwhile, the U.S. is considering looser chip export restrictions, and China is tightening tungsten exports, impacting global markets.
