Altlantic International Headlines: Province sees dollars and ‘sense’ in partnerships with China By TARA CHISLETT http://dailygleaner. canadaeast. com/front/article/1430315 Education Minister Jody Carr says appointing Dennis Cochrane as president of Atlantic Education International for the next two years will help the company grow educational partnerships on the international stage. Cochrane, a former educator, provincial Progressive Conservative leader and interim president at St. Thomas University, has already started the part-time position that pays $30,000 annually. “There’s a lot of growth potential for AEI, but growth needs to be done strategically and with a coordinated approach,” Carr said in an email. “Dennis Cochrane’s experience, knowledge and proven track record make him well suited to oversee the execution of AEI’s mandate and the development of a business and expansion strategy for international education in New Brunswick. ” In addition to the N.

Atlantic International Partnership Headlines: Foreign investment begins to pour into Iraq http://www. usatoday. com/money/world/2011-07-19-foreign-investment-iraq-investors-business_n. htm By Jim Michaels, USA TODAY The amount of new foreign investment deals is on track to double this year, according to a report by Dunia Frontier Consultants, which specializes in emerging markets. In the first half of this year, Iraq attracted $45. 6 billion in foreign investment, about $3 billion more than all of last year, the report says. The rush of investment this year reflects a new confidence in Iraq’s stability and a reduction in risk, analysts say. “This is money talking,” said Campbell Harvey, professor of finance at Duke University in North Carolina. U. S. companies have been slow to get in on the investment opportunities in Iraq, even lagging behind countries that opposed the war, such as France. Last year, French companies represented 9. 9% of the foreign investment in Iraq, compared

Here are 10 tips for investors considering ETFs. Look for the UCITS label Any fund which complies with EU undertakings for collective investment in transferable securities (UCITS) statutes will be subject to investor protection rules, such as compulsory diversification to reduce risk. For example, no more than 5pc of these ETFs can be invested in any one share and no more than 10pc can be invested in unapproved securities. Beware exchange-traded products ETPs are often loosely described as ETFs but no ETP qualifies for UCITS, so may hold assets which are difficult to turn back into cash in a hurry. Where’s the beef? Physical ETFs hold the assets on which they are based and so are less risky than synthetic ETFs which rely on financial derivat

Altlantic International Partnership Headlines: How much diversification do you really need? By Walter Updegrave http://money. cnn. com/2011/07/12/pf/expert/portfolio_diversification. moneymag/index. htm NEW YORK (Money) — How much diversification do I really need? In an attempt to spread risk and maximize return, is it possible to over-diversify a portfolio? — Nick Poole, Burbank, Calif. Not only is it possible to overdo diversification, but I believe some advisers and investment firms actually encourage investors to go too far. They do so by touting a smorgasbord of “alternative” investments, ranging from private equity, hedge funds and currencies to absolute-return funds, commodities and ETFs that cover every nook and cranny of the market. (Anyone for a fertilizer ETF? How about aluminum?)Don’t get me wrong. The case for building a portfolio with a broad mix of assets is sound. Spreading your money among a variety of investments that don’t all move in lockstep, allows parts of y

Atlantic International Partnership Headlines: Madrid and Istanbul set to enter 2020 Olympics bidding race http://www. sportbusiness. com/news/183959/madrid-and-istanbul-set-to-enter-2020-olympics-biddingrace The Spanish capital of Madrid and Istanbul in Turkey are set to join the race to host the 2020 Olympics after the two cities moved a step closer to submitting official bids on Wednesday. At a press conference, Madrid Mayor Alberto Ruiz-Gallardon, flanked by spokesmen for the two main political parties in Spain, said he would present a bid proposal to city legislators for a vote on July 20. Madrid came desperately close to securing the hosting rights in the tenders for the 2012 and 2016 Games. Although there are serious concerns about Spain’s economy, and the country’s Sports Minister has admitted “if this (financial downturn) did not exist, our support would have been automatic”, RuizGallardon insisted that the Games could provide a timely boost. “Madrid has finished an extreme
