£50 million investment programme launched to help transform the Northern Valleys of South East Wales

A new investment programme aimed at catalysing economic growth and social impact in the Northern Valleys was unveiled today (11 April 2024). The Northern Valleys Initiative aims to play a long-term levelling-up role in tackling some of the intra-regional disparities that exist within the Cardiff Capital Region.

 

The Initiative, totalling £50m, has been set up by Cardiff Capital Region (CCR) and supported by Local Authority Delivery Teams from Blaenau Gwent, Bridgend, Caerphilly, Merthyr Tydfil, Rhondda Cynon Taf and Torfaen. This will support businesses and projects that have the ability to increase prosperity in the region.

 

Investments will be focused on businesses that offer high-growth potential and the ability to help transform the regional economy.

 

Operating over a five-year period, the programme will act as a financial catalyst to support businesses that are either based in the Region or that wish to relocate for the long term. Typical grants and investments available for successful applicants will range from (but are not limited to), £100k to £2m.

 

The programme will concentrate on infrastructure, digital connectivity and tourism sectors delivering a wide range of outcomes including jobs, ecological regeneration and decarbonisation.

 

The Northern Valleys Initiative aligns with CCR’s strategic ambitions to:

 

–  tackle economic disparities and boost growth

–  enhance innovation capability and capacity

–  decarbonise our environment by 2050

–  improve our physical and digital infrastructure

 

Cllr Anthony Hunt, Chair of CCR Committee, said:

“Building on previous work in the region, the Northern Valleys Initiative will deliver an exciting opportunity to stimulate both the private and public sector investment required to generate additional jobs, boost prosperity, foster community resilience and help drive the circular economy in six local authority areas: Blaenau Gwent, Bridgend, Caerphilly, Merthyr Tydfil, Rhondda Cynon Taf and Torfaen”.

 

Welsh Secretary David TC Davies said:

“It’s fantastic news that this fund, backed by the UK Government, is going to help transform businesses in this area.

 

“We are focused on growing the economy of Wales, creating jobs and spreading prosperity, and investments like this are invaluable in making this aim a reality.”

Social and Sustainable Capital invests over £3 million in St Martin of Tours to expand supported living services for adults with mental health needs

Social and Sustainable Capital (SASC), a leading social investment firm dedicated to financing ‘extraordinary’ charities and social enterprises, has committed £3.2 million from its Social and Sustainable Housing Fund (SASH II) to St Martin of Tours, a respected London housing association. This investment will enhance and expand the organisation’s supported living accommodation for adults facing complex mental health needs in Bromley and Streatham, enabling St Martin’s expansion plans across London.

With over 40 years of experience, St Martin of Tours specialises in care homes and supported-living services for adults dealing with enduring mental-health challenges. Providing tailored mental healthcare and supported accommodation services, the charity’s highly trained and dedicated staff teams work in partnership with local care teams to assist residents in improving their quality of life and transitioning towards independent living in the community.

The investment includes funding for the acquisition and refurbishment of Oakwood House, a 15-bed supported living service in Bromley, which will become St Martin’s flagship accommodation. At Oakwood House, the charity will deliver personalised support, aiding further recovery, optimising medication, providing psychosocial interventions, and assisting residents to develop the skills needed to move to independent living.

Additional funding will support organisation-wide initiatives, including a transformation plan, improving accommodation standards across the charity’s housing portfolio and contributing to ongoing financial resilience.

Paul Hardisty, Chief Executive Officer of St Martin of Tours, said, “The investment from SASC will be transformative for our organisation, enabling us to expand our accommodation and enhance our services to meet rising demand. Our mission is to be the housing provider of choice across London for individuals recovering from complex mental health illnesses. Through our tailored mental healthcare and supported accommodation services, we want to empower residents to transition towards independent living in the community. This investment allows us to create an additional 15 much needed bedspaces.

Mark Bickford, CEO of SASC, commented, “St Martin of Tours’ mission aligns perfectly with SASC’s commitment to supporting initiatives that have a tangible impact on society. With our investment, they will be able to provide decent, safe, and stable housing for individuals with complex mental health needs, contributing significantly to their journey towards recovery and independence.”

Fewer than a third of women feel confident about investing: HSBC UK

HSBC UK has unveiled research shedding light on the differences in financial attitudes and behaviours between men and women, particularly in the realms of saving and investing.

The study, conducted by HSBC UK, unveils concerning statistics, with two in three women (69%) admitting to lacking confidence when it comes to investing money. One in four women (27%) abstain from investing altogether due to a perceived lack of knowledge in the field.

Two in five people in the UK invest but around two thirds (67%) of women don’t invest their money, compared to 56% of men. In fact, 3.3 million fewer women hold investments in the UK compared to men – a population three times the size of Birmingham.

The main reasons include not having enough money (45%), limited knowledge on investing (27%) and thinking it is too risky (19%). Two thirds (60%) of women believe they will lose out on money if they invest.

Recognising the urgency of addressing this confidence gap, HSBC UK has launched a series of ‘inspiring money confidence’ webinars, tailored to empower women to enhance their financial wellbeing. These webinars, open to both customers and non-customers, aim to equip women with the knowledge and confidence needed to navigate the complex landscape of personal finance effectively.

Rebecca Owers, Director of Wealth Distribution at HSBC UK, underscores the importance of financial education in empowering women to seize control of their financial futures.

“Women are facing significant barriers when it comes to money. We are living longer but can earn less than our male counterparts. We take more career breaks, but we need to work an extra 19 years to retire on the same pension savings as a man.

“We need to make our money work harder, so it’s important to consider options like investing. Financial education is key here – by talking openly about money and learning the different options available, women can gain the confidence needed to take control of their financial futures.”

Investment ‘dry powder’ set to fuel business growth in the North West

Despite a challenging macro-economic outlook, Mark Keeley, a partner at ECI, the leading mid-market private equity firm, based in Manchester, believes the North West is well-placed to take advantage of the amount of ‘dry powder’ investment available for resilient businesses with high growth potential.

According to Keeley’s insights, “While there is likely to be low economic growth in the UK as a whole, there will be pockets of high growth, including in the North West.  We are in a period of pent-up demand from private equity, so owners of good businesses looking to attract investment, will find that it remains a seller’s market. The macroeconomic environment is leading investors to increase their focus on companies that demonstrate resilience, not just growth, and those that can display both, remain in high demand but short supply. This means we have seen deal prices stay at historical highs, with fierce competition for the best opportunities.

ECI recently reached the hard cap of £1 billion for its ECI 12 fund, so capital is available to help businesses grow, and the company has an active pipeline in the North West. Current North West based portfolio companies include Moneypenny, a leader in global outsourced communications, based in Wrexham, and Manchester-based companies BCN, an IT and cloud services provider, and Mobysoft, a predictive analytics software provider to the social housing sector.

Growth potential for North West tech companies

In Keeley’s view, “Having a long established presence in the North West creates an exciting opportunity for us given the significant number of quality businesses in the region, particularly in the technology sector, and this is where I see most investment potential. Technology, both software and services, will continue to attract high levels of interest due to the growth and resilience in these subsectors. I also predict increased interest in investment in the Tech Enabled Business Services sector, as businesses use technology to provide a differentiated customer experience and drive high retention.”

Infrastructure investment the key to maximising growth potential

While there may be great growth potential in the North West, in Keeley’s opinion, material investment in infrastructure is needed to maximise this economic opportunity: “From our experience working with our portfolio companies, we know that businesses want consistency of policy and delivery of infrastructure projects that have been promised.  However, my experience is that the region is pushing ahead and making things happen without relying on central Government initiatives.  Personally I’d like to see development of a modern rail network connecting Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle, Hull and Sheffield.

A busier Q2 expected for investment exits

In terms of investment exits, Keeley expects total activity levels to be broadly consistent with 2023, which saw a relatively busy first half of the year and slower second half. This year is likely to be the inverse of this, with the first half quiet and second half busier.  This activity will ultimately be good for business growth and good for the economy.

The general election and a corridor for deals

According to Keeley, “Historically, general elections have led to indecision, with businesses holding off decision-making and investment, which in turn has led to a reduction in investment opportunities. However, this time companies appear to already be considering the impact of potential policy changes and planning for the future, so the slowdown in company sales will probably be less than in other election years.”

 A positive mindset to achieve success

Positivity is crucial according to Keeley: “I’d like to see business leaders adopting a positive “can do” attitude to take advantage of the growth opportunities that exist. This positive mindset has enabled the North West to successfully reinvent itself throughout economic cycles, meaning the region is well served by forward-thinking businesses that have exciting futures both on a national and international level.” 

Key drivers for business success in the North West

In conclusion, Keeley advises: “The economic conditions are challenging, but there are still opportunities for North West companies to succeed with hard work, determination and focus.  Management teams need to be brave and keep looking to the medium term rather than focusing on the present. Those that do this will be really well placed to generate fantastic returns.  An international footprint is helpful, as some economies such as the US, are performing better than the UK, and it can be beneficial to supplement organic growth with strategic M&A.”

Innovation Investment Capital announces investment in Mazuma

Innovation Investment Capital Limited Partnership (IIC), the Cardiff Capital Region (CCR) backed fund has today announced a multimillion-pound investment in Mazuma, the Bridgend-based online accountancy firm.

Mazuma is one of the leading providers of accountancy services for micro businesses in the UK, with a long-standing track record of innovation. Founded by Lucy Cohen and Sophie Hughes in 2006. Mazuma differentiates its business through a subscription model that allows subscribers to choose from a range of competitively priced accountancy packages and benefit from its proprietary technology through MazApp®.

Over the past year, Mazuma has been scaling the business and rolling out the MazApp® technology. With the addition of this new investment from Innovation Investment Capital, Mazuma will accelerate the development of its new accountancy technology solutions, expand the marketing and sales teams in Bridgend, and invest in the firm’s infrastructure and operations to support growth.

IIC’s decision to invest was based on several key factors, including:

  • Quality and clarity of vision of the firm’s co-founders as a proven management team, with the ability to successfully execute their plans.
  • Mazuma’s successful track-record and the opportunities to further grow in the accountancy market.
  • The firm’s technology and ability to further disrupt the traditional micro-business accountancy space.

The Mazuma investment is IIC’s second investment, with the first in AMPLYFI, the Cardiff-based disruptive generative artificial intelligence business, which was announced in September. To date, the fund has received over 160 applications for funding from potential investee companies across Southeast Wales.

Launched in November 2022 and backed by UK Government funds with an initial £50 million from CCR, the fund is looking to invest long-term capital in sustainable growth opportunities across the ten unitary authorities that comprise the CCR. Its General Partner is Capricorn Fund Managers (CFM), which is responsible for managing the fund and the overall portfolio and risk management, with PwC supporting CFM in advisory matters, including investment research and sourcing.

Cllr Anthony Hunt, Chair of CCR’s Regional Cabinet and Leader of Torfaen County Borough Council, said: “What Mazuma has achieved and its vision for the future is phenomenal. It is a home-grown story, run by two trailblazing female founders. Our investment shows the depth of quality companies we have across the whole of our region, with this investment helping to take Mazuma to the next stage of its journey.”

“Ever since our first conversations with Lucy and Sophie in April 2023, what has always stood out has been their passion, focus and vision to innovate and disrupt the accountancy sector,” added Rob Asplin, PwC Partner. “Based on our discussions, we believe that Mazuma has an exciting future ahead of it.”

Lucy Cohen, Co-Founder and CEO Mazuma, commented: “We are thrilled with this investment and look forward to working with the Innovation Investment Capital team, who share our goals and vision. We can now accelerate the development of our proprietary technology and leverage our position to pursue long-term strategic goals. As a woman who has spent the last 17 years in such a male-dominated space, what we have achieved here, and what we will achieve in the future, will hopefully give people the confidence to back female-led businesses.”

Cllr Huw David, Leader of Bridgend County Borough Council commented on the home-grown nature of Mazuma: “We’re immensely proud of the ambition and reach of Bridgend-based companies like Mazuma whose achievements will resonate across the UK. CCR’s funding of innovative companies such as Mazuma helps to accelerate the growth in our Region and especially in Bridgend.”

“This investment will allow Mazuma to build on its success and accelerate growth through strategic hires and innovative technological development. It also highlights the fund’s appetite to support businesses from across a variety of different sectors and across different areas of the region,” concluded Lynda Stoelker, Capricorn Fund Managers’ COO and Chair of the IIC Investment Committee.

Legal advice was provided by Hugh James and financial & tax due diligence was provided by Hazlewoods. Bruce & Butler provided data protection and cyber security advice.

Building wealth the right way with a financial professional

In today’s era of wealth management, many investors can find themselves seeking more effective ways to build and preserve their wealth.

While there are many ways you can go about achieving this, few can be as beneficial as finding a financial adviser.

The guidance of a financial professional can make a significant difference in how you approach your financial situation and can bring a wide range of advantages to wealth management strategies.

In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of working with a financial expert to build your wealth and look at how their expertise can contribute to growing your finances thoughtfully and strategically.

Understanding your financial situation

Navigating the intricate landscape of your finances requires a comprehensive understanding of your unique financial situation – since every investor’s circumstance is different.

Much like your circumstance, your adviser’s guidance is also unique since it needs to be tailored to your specific situation.

Your adviser will conduct a full analysis of things like your income, your assets, your financial dependents, your goals, and even any challenges you might be facing.

This can help both you and your adviser gain a clear overview of your financial situation.

In turn, this allows your expert to provide the right recommendations that best suit your specific financial journey, and help you achieve your goals as efficiently as possible.

For example, they might assess your situation and advise you on the right investments to make, such  in low-risk liquid reserves or a private pension.

 

Strategic planning for your goals

One of the key advantages of partnering with a financial professional is the ability to set and prioritise your financial goals.

Whether you aspire to fund your dream retirement, build wealth for your children’s education, or navigate a divorce, a financial professional can help you define realistic and achievable objectives.

By breaking down these goals into clear and manageable steps, you can work towards them systematically, increasing the likelihood of a successful outcome.

 

Exploring different investments

The saying “don’t put all your eggs in one basket” holds true in the world of investing.

This is why diversification can be a key aspect of a well-rounded investment strategy, helping you to spread your risk across different asset classes.

Your financial professional can guide you through the right way to build a diversified investment portfolio that aligns with your risk tolerance and future financial goals.

By avoiding over-concentration in any single investment, you can mitigate the impact of market fluctuations on your overall wealth.

 

Tax wrapper accounts

A financial adviser can also offer valuable guidance on the role tax considerations play in wealth management.

They can help you identify tax-efficient strategies to shelter your money from tax and maximise your growth potential.

This may involve taking advantage of tax wrapper accounts, such as Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) or a personal pension.

By incorporating tax efficiency into your wealth-building plan, you can potentially enhance the growth of your assets over time.

 

Ongoing financial advice

Financial markets and personal circumstances are dynamic, which means they can change at any time when carrying out your financial plan.

As such, it’s important to not only consider one-off advice, but also ongoing advice, so you can regularly monitor your evolving situation with a professional.

They can constantly adjust your plan to make sure it aligns with any changes that occur which impact your wealth, to make sure the effects are minimal.

Building wealth the right way involves thoughtful planning, strategic decision-making, and ongoing monitoring.

A financial professional can be your partner in this journey, offering guidance based on their expertise and experience.

Speak to a financial adviser to find out more about the many ways they can help you achieve financial success with your wealth management.

Please note, the value of your investments can go down as well as up.

Industry-first Financial Guarantee Launches to Enable Confident Funding for Creative Projects

A brand new financial guarantee, designed exclusively for the film and media industry, will finally provide lenders across the globe with financial security when funding independent productions.

The Media Credit Guarantee is launched today by Kerry London Europe to coincide with the American Film Market. This unique financial guarantee is designed to make it easier for banks and other lenders to confidently offer funding to independent producers of film, tv series and animation.

Importantly, it’s the first product of its kind tailored specifically to the film and media industry and is offered exclusively by Kerry London Europe.

The new product offers a guarantee to banks and other lenders, ensuring contractual payments are made on time. If unforeseen circumstances such as insolvency prevent payments from distributors or incentives, the Media Credit Guarantee protects lenders from losses of up to £5 million per distributor or incentive contract.

“The American Film Market is the perfect springboard to launch our industry-first Media Credit Guarantee to the global film industry, banks and financiers,” explains Ansley Williams, Client Services Director at Kerry London Europe. “This guarantee will have an incredibly positive impact, bringing more productions to life with minimal negotiations with lenders.”

Independent film productions, particularly those with foreign distribution deals or no well-known talent attached, have previously been considered high-risk investments and ‘indie’ producers or production companies often lack the collateral needed to reassure lenders. The Media Credit Guarantee removes these barriers, enabling lenders to invest confidently in creative projects.

Kerry London Europe is now accepting Media Credit Guarantee applications for film and media projects. For more information visit our website.

The Crucial Role of Transparent Financial Research in Real Estate Investments

From seasoned market veterans to newcomers eager to carve out their niche, the appeal of real estate property investments is universal. However, real estate, like all investment domains, is fraught with challenges, from market volatility to unforeseen external factors that can sway property valuations.

In the UK, 2023 has seen a notable shift. The number of homes sold is projected to decline to its lowest in over a decade, with house sales expected to drop by 21% year-on-year, amounting to approximately 1 million. This decline is primarily attributed to the rising cost of mortgages, deterring potential homebuyers. 

In the midst of such complexities, how can investors navigate with confidence and precision? The key to success is transparent financial research. This comprehensive research transcends mere statistical data, offering a lucid, impartial perspective on the real estate landscape, encompassing current market trajectories, emergent growth sectors, and areas potentially on the decline.

In the following article, we aim to provide readers with a deeper understanding of the indispensable nature of transparent financial research in crafting a robust property investment strategy.

Harnessing Expertise in Property Finance 

Delving into the world of property finance, including development finance, requires more than just knowledge; it calls for genuine expertise. Consider working with a property finance firm with a longstanding history in the industry, as their sustained presence signifies more than just longevity; it’s a mark of their adaptability, skill, and dedication to helping clients achieve their financial aspirations.

In addition to that, look for firms that offer a wide range of services, covering everything from short-term financing and development finance to various mortgage solutions, and cater to diverse financial needs. Their extensive network, which includes both mainstream and specialized lenders, ensures clients receive the best possible rates.

Foundations of Astute Investment Decisions

Evaluating Intrinsic Value

Every investment proposition is underscored by its inherent value. Transparent research serves as a guiding light, meticulously detailing a property’s current market standing, potential for appreciation, and areas of possible depreciation. 

These insights empower investors to make decisions anchored in reality, ensuring that their capital is allocated judiciously to avenues that resonate with their financial objectives.

Decoding Market Dynamics

The real estate sector is akin to a living entity, perpetually evolving in tandem with economic, technological, and societal tides. Transparent research offers a panoramic view of these shifts, equipping investors with the acumen to make strategic, timely decisions. By understanding these dynamics, investors can position themselves advantageously, capitalizing on emerging trends and sidestepping potential pitfalls.

Anticipating Returns

The cornerstone of successful investing lies in data-driven, informed risk-taking. Transparent financial data enables investors to craft accurate return projections, ensuring alignment between financial ambitions and a property’s projected trajectory. This predictive capability ensures that investors can calibrate their expectations, optimizing their portfolios for maximum yield.

Strategizing Risk Mitigation

The property investment landscape, while promising, is not devoid of risks. Transparent research acts as a sentinel, identifying potential challenges, be they legal intricacies or market fluctuations. Such foresight allows investors to fortify their strategies, bolstering confidence in their investment choices. By pre-emptively addressing these challenges, investors can ensure the longevity and resilience of their investments.

Upholding Regulatory Compliance

The labyrinthine regulations governing property investments necessitate meticulous adherence. Transparent research serves as a compass, ensuring that all investment undertakings are compliant, thereby safeguarding investors from potential legal entanglements.

In an era where regulatory scrutiny is intensifying, this commitment to compliance is paramount, ensuring that investments are not only profitable but also ethically and legally sound.

Conclusion

As the industry undergoes multifaceted transformations, influenced by global economic paradigms, technological innovations, and evolving societal predilections, the imperative for rigorous, objective financial analysis becomes paramount. This analytical framework, steeped in empirical rigor, furnishes investors with a strategic blueprint, elucidating potential avenues of opportunity while concurrently signposting potential areas of caution. For the seasoned investor, it serves to validate and recalibrate investment strategies, offering avenues for portfolio diversification. 

For new investors, it provides a lucid, structured pathway to traverse the labyrinthine complexities inherent to the real estate domain. Moreover, as the emphasis on sustainable and ethically aligned investments intensifies, transparent research will be pivotal in discerning properties and ventures that resonate with these contemporary imperatives.
