MELBOURNE, May 14, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - With geopolitical tensions, inflation uncertainty, and global capital flows still shifting in response to the Trump administration's renewed sanctions, fixed income continues to emerge as the strategic asset class for long-term investors. Quotient Capital Pty Ltd has released its 2025 mid-year outlook, showcasing how Australian fixed income is delivering security, stability, and consistent real returns in a turbulent global environment.Australian Fixed Income: A Beacon of Stability in Volatile MarketsGlobal markets have been shaken by widespread sanctions introduced by the second Trump administration, prompting turbulence across equities, commodities, and even traditional safe havens. Yet Australia's fixed income market remains a pillar of strength.The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) forecasts inflation to moderate toward the 2-3% target range by late 2025. Coupled with Australia's sound credit environment, strong institutional frameworks, and fiscal stability, this positions the domestic bond market as one of the most attractive globally.Key research insights from Quotient Capital include:Australian private credit grew by 14% year-on-year (2024-2025).Domestic corporate bond issuance surged 22% in Q1 2025.Liquidity across the investment-grade bond market is at its strongest in over a decade."Fixed income is no longer just a defensive allocation - it's a proactive, yield-focused wealth strategy," said Tom McCallister, Senior Fixed Income Advisor at Quotient Capital."In this cycle, investors are demanding capital protection, income certainty, and inflation resilience - and Australian bonds deliver all three."Geopolitical Shifts and Global Capital ReallocationThe global ripple effects of U.S. sanctions have disrupted cross-border capital flows and credit availability across multiple regions - driving a recalibration among asset allocators.Australia is benefitting as a preferred destination for investors seeking:Political neutralityRobust regulatory governanceHigh-grade credit assets"Private wealth, family offices, and institutions are reallocating to Australia with growing conviction," said James Harrington, Senior Fixed Income Advisor at Quotient Capital."We offer a unique mix of economic resilience and institutional-grade product access, which is proving incredibly attractive."Bringing Institutional Access to Private InvestorsQuotient Capital bridges the gap between institutional-grade opportunities and private capital - making it possible for high-net-worth individuals and SMSFs to access premium fixed income products, previously restricted to larger funds.Tailored solutions include:Infrastructure-linked debt instrumentsInflation-linked corporate bond portfoliosPrivate credit notes focused on essential service sectorsAll offerings are underpinned by detailed credit analysis, transparent structuring, and clear maturity horizons. Minimum investments typically start at $50,000 AUD.Strategic Outlook: Where the Smart Capital Is Going in 2025Continued demand for floating-rate notes (FRNs) as inflation hedgesGrowth in infrastructure and essential services-backed bondsRising private investor flows into corporate and hybrid debt marketsSMSFs and family offices driving long-term allocations toward predictable yield strategies"In today's macro climate, fixed income isn't a side allocation anymore - it's the core of the modern portfolio," McCallister adds.About Quotient CapitalQuotient Capital Pty Ltd is a privately-owned wealth advisory firm based in Melbourne, Australia.

The mission also successfully enhanced collaboration between Hong Kong and the mainland, enabling mainland companies to partner with Hong Kong businesses to expand into the Middle East and beyond.Over the past few days, the delegation, comprising over 50 business leaders from Hong Kong and enterprise representatives from seven mainland provinces and cities, explored the Middle Eastern market and supported high-quality Belt and Road cooperation while promoting Hong Kong’s unique role as a superconnector and super value-adder.During the visit to Kuwait, 24 memoranda of understanding (MoUs) and announcements were facilitated in trade and investment promotion, finance, law, transport and logistics, innovation and technology (I&T), agriculture, education and sport.The delegation met with senior executives and key members of the Kuwait Investment Authority (KIA), conglomerate Bukhamseen Group Holding and the Kuwait Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) to discuss investment opportunities and potential collaborations.The delegation also met with several representatives from the Kuwait Direct Investment Promotion Authority (KDIPA) to gain an in-depth understanding of the operations of Kuwait’s free trade zones. The meeting explored potential cooperation opportunities in areas such as logistics, manufacturing, distribution, and technology.The delegation visited the Sheikh Abdullah Al Salem Cultural Centre to gain a comprehensive overview of Kuwaiti history, culture and achievements.To foster cooperation, the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (HKETO) and Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) organised a high-level business luncheon, which was attended by some 270 business leaders and key officials.Concluding the Middle East mission, Mr Lee said the delegation, comprising Hong Kong and mainland business leaders, had achieved three key objectives: 1. To strengthen government-to-government relations; 2. To find new areas of collaboration; and 3. To make friends, and expand networks. “Over the past four days, I have observed that both Qatar and Kuwait are experiencing rapid development, supported by substantial investment and continually expanding economies. In meetings with leaders and officials, I appreciated their forward-looking vision and understanding of Hong Kong’s unparalleled advantages under ‘one country, two systems’ as a bridge between the mainland and the world. As Middle Eastern countries seek diversification of risk and look for opportunities in China and the Hong Kong SAR to join the tide of the global economic shift towards the East, Hong Kong has boundless opportunities.”He pointed out that this visit will elevate the relationship between Hong Kong and Qatar and Kuwait to a new level, bringing more business opportunities to Hong Kong, and noted, “We will continue to strive to explore new opportunities and frontiers for Hong Kong.”Dr Peter K N Lam, Chairman of the HKTDC, said: “Over the past few days, we engaged in high-level government and business meetings, hosted business luncheons and visited key development projects in Qatar and Kuwait. We explored how Qatari and Kuwaiti businesses can leverage Hong Kong's advantages in finance, innovation and technology and professional services to advance intiatives in finance, energy transformation and smart infrastructure projects, contributing to the Qatar National Vision 2030 and Kuwait Vision 2035.”“Following the visits, the HKTDC will continue to invite business leaders from the Middle East to visit Hong Kong. We welcome them participating in our international events, such as the Belt and Road Summit and Asian Financial Forum to explore opportunities in Hong Kong, Mainland China and beyond,” Dr Lam added.24 MoUs and announcements were facilitated in Kuwait by the government and the following members of the delegation:1.Invest Hong Kong and Kuwait Direct Investment Promotion Authority (KDIPA)2.Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department and Marine Science Centre of Kuwait University (Announcement)3.Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department and Public Authority of Agriculture Affairs and Fish Resources (Announcement)4.Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department and Kuwait General Administration of Customs (Announcement)5.Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) and Kuwait Airways (Announcement)6.Belt and Road General Chamber of Commerce and Kuwait Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KCCI)7.Federation of Hong Kong Industries (FHKI) and Kuwait Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KCCI)8.Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce (HKGCC) and Kuwait Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KCCI)9.Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and Kuwait Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KCCI)10.Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and Kuwait Direct Investment Promotion Authority (KDIPA)11.Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China and Olympic Council of Asia12.The Chinese Manufacturers’ Association of Hong Kong (CMA) and Kuwait Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KCCI)13.The Law Society of Hong Kong and Kuwait Bar Association14.Financial Services Development Council (FSDC) and Capital Market Authority in Kuwait (CMA) (non-delegate)15.City University of Hong Kong and Ministry of Higher Education16.City University of Hong Kong and Kuwait University17.Templewater and Blue Ocean Company18.Deloitte China and Baoye Hubei Construction Engineering Group Co., Ltd19.Deloitte China and PCI Technology Co., Ltd20.HSBC and PCI Technology Co., Ltd21.HSBC and Meetsocial Group22.Templewater and Shanghai Westwell Technology23.Templewater and Shanghai Fengling Renewables Co., Ltd24.Dongchao Information Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd and Kuwait Direct Investment Promotion Authority (KDIPA)Earlier during the mission, 35 MoUs and announcements were facilitated in Qatar:1.Federation of Hong Kong Industries (FHKI) and Qatar Chamber of Commerce & Industry (QCCI)2.Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce (HKGCC) and Qatar Chamber of Commerce & Industry (QCCI) 3.Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) and Qatar Airways4.Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and Invest Qatar5.Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and Qatari Businessmen Association (QBA)6.Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and Qatar Chamber of Commerce & Industry (QCCI)7.Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and Qatar Financial Centre (QFC) 8.The Chinese Manufacturers’ Association of Hong Kong (CMA) and Qatari Businessmen Association (QBA)9.The Hong Kong Associations of Bank and Qatar Chamber of Commerce & Industry (QCCI)10.The Law Society of Hong Kong and Qatar International Center for Conciliation and Arbitration (QICCA)11.The Law Society of Hong Kong and Qatar Lawyers Association12.Financial Services Development Council (FSDC) and Qatar Financial Centre (QFC) (non-delegate)13.Hang Seng Indexes Company Limited and Qatar Financial Centre (QFC)14.MTR Corporation Limited and Qatar National Bank15.Belt and Road General Chamber of Commerce and Luyi Industrial Park16.Hong Kong Productivity Council and Shanghai Westwell Technology17.Hong Kong Productivity Council and EHang Intelligent Equipment (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd18.Bank of China (Hong Kong) and Shanghai Westwell Technology19.Baoye Group and Luyi Industrial Park20.Deloitte China and Glodon Technology Co., Ltd21.Deloitte China and WeBank22.HSBC and PCI Technology Co., Ltd23.HSBC and Meetsocial Group 24.Standard Chartered and Fosun International25.Templewater and WeBank26.Center International Group Co., Limited and Luyi Industrial Development QFZ27.Luyi Industrial Park and Qatar Development Bank28.Goldford Group and WeBank and Klickl Technology L.L.C.29.Development Bureau and Public Works Authority ‘Ashghal’ of Qatar 30.Invest Hong Kong and Qatar Chamber of Commerce & Industry 31.Invest Hong Kong and Qatari Businessmen Association (QBA)32.Department of Justice and Ministry of Justice of the State of Qatar (Announcement)33.Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department and Qatar Customs (Announcement)34.Security Bureau (Announcement)35.Trade and Industry Department and Ministry of Commerce and Industry of the State of Qatar (Announcement on progress of IPPA’s negotiation)Photo download: https://bit.ly/4mfLVgfDr Peter K N Lam, Chairman of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) addressed a business luncheon, organised by the HKETO and HKTDC to deepen economic and cultural links between Hong Kong and Kuwait.

TAIPEI, TAIWAN, May 13, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Groundbreaking new research was released today revealing that illicit streaming devices (ISDs) in Taiwan are not only enabling rampant piracy, but also potentially pose significant cybersecurity threats to consumers and national infrastructure. The study was released at an enforcement workshop hosted in Taipei by the Taiwan Society of Convergence and the Asia Video Industry Association’s Coalition Against Piracy (CAP).The research, conducted by Professor Paul A. Watters of Cyberstronomy Pty Ltd, found that many ISDs are vulnerable to malware infections and can be remotely hijacked, putting users at risk of identity theft, ransomware, and espionage. Even more alarmingly, these devices could be exploited to form large-scale botnets capable of disrupting Taiwan’s critical infrastructure through coordinated cyberattacks.Key findings from the study include:49% of apps commonly associated with ISDs which were tested contained malware, with some triggering up to 20 detections on industry-leading security platforms.ISDs were found to have an average of 7.75 security vulnerabilities, leaving users exposed to exploits such as command-and-control takeovers and phishing attacks.One malware-laden app was found to use “superuser” privileges, granting attackers full access to a user’s device and connected network.Malicious infrastructure supporting ISD apps is hosted via obscure and abuse-prone domains, such as 6868c.cc and 1357c.cc, often shielded by private registrations.“Every ISD in Taiwan represents a potential node in a nationwide cyberattack,” said Matt Cheetham, General Manager of CAP. “If left unregulated, these devices could be weaponised to compromise homes, businesses, and government networks.” Cheetham noted that the study recommended a three-pronged approach to address the threat: tighten regulations on the sale and distribution of ISDs; expand enforcement and monitoring of malicious ISD infrastructure, and; implement DNS/site blocking to prevent access to known malware-distributing domains.About the Asia Video Industry AssociationThe Asia Video Industry Association (AVIA) is the trade association for the video industry and ecosystem in Asia Pacific. It serves to make the video industry stronger and healthier through promoting the common interests of its members. AVIA is the interlocutor for the industry with governments across the region, leads the fight against video piracy through its Coalition Against Piracy (CAP) and provides insight into the video industry through reports and conferences aimed to support a vibrant video industry.For media enquiries and additional background please contact:Charmaine Kwan, Head of Marketing and Communications | charmaine@avia.orgLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/asiavideoia |X: @AsiaVideoIA Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Doha, Qatar, May 12, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A business delegation led by Mr John Lee, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), and organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) visited Doha and the second largest city in Qatar Lusail on 10-12 May. This visit includes representatives from mainland enterprises for the first time with the aim to support high-quality Belt and Road cooperation.35 memoranda of understanding (MoUs) and announcements were facilitated in trade and investment promotion, finance, transport and logistics, and innovation and technology, further strengthening collaboration between Hong Kong and the mainland, and facilitating mainland companies to partner with Hong Kong businesses to "go out" and explore opportunities in the Middle East and beyond. They also paved the way for deeper collaboration between Hong Kong, the mainland, Qatar and the broader Middle Eastern market.The delegation, organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), comprises over 50 business leaders from Hong Kong and enterprise representatives from seven mainland provinces and cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangsu, and Hubei, covering a range of sectors including finance, professional services, construction and real estate, transport and logistics, green development, innovation and technology (I&T), energy and manufacturing.The delegation had meetings with business chambers, including Qatari Businessmen Association (QBA) and Qatar Chamber of Commerce and Industry (QCCI), and government bodies, including Qatar Financial Centre (QFC) and Qatar Development Bank (QDB). In these meetings, the delegates explored opportunities to enhance trade and investment and promoted Hong Kong's advantages and opportunities.The delegates also conducted a site visit to Lusail City to observe how I&T integrates with urban planning and infrastructure and to explore collaboration opportunities for Hong Kong's smart city solution providers. As the second largest city in Qatar, Lusail City is becoming one of the country's flagship smart cities due to its ICT-focused infrastructure facilities, which are under construction and nearing completion.During the visit to the Qatar Foundation and its subsidiaries, the delegates discussed potential partnerships, technology transfer opportunities, and programmes for supporting tech start-ups with entities such as the Qatar National Research Fund, Qatar Science & Technology Park, and Education City. The visit provided insights into how Hong Kong's technological advancements might align with Qatar's strategic focus areas.Additionally, the delegation visited the National Museum of Qatar to gain a deeper understanding of Qatar's history and cultural vision.To foster collaboration, the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (HKETO) and Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) organised a high-level business luncheon, which was attended by some 300 business leaders and key officials.At the luncheon on 12 May, Mr Lee remarked: "As both our economies diversify, co-operation becomes our greatest multiplier. Uniting Qatar's transformative drive, Mainland China's expertise, and Hong Kong's connectivity will help us realise a future of diverse, and boundless, opportunities. Let's work together. Let's partner for success.""To bring Hong Kong and Qatar together, I am pleased to announce that with immediate effect, holders of the Hong Kong SAR passport can enjoy visa-free entry into Qatar, for 30 days at a time. Nationals of Qatar can also visit Hong Kong visa-free. These initiatives will make it that much easier to create partnerships, do business and enjoy life together,"Mr Lee added.Dr Peter K N Lam, Chairman of the HKTDC, said: "In 2024, Qatar was Hong Kong's 3rd largest trading partner in the Middle East. This accounted for 6.6% of Hong Kong's total trade with the region. There is a lot of room for growth."Hong Kong is the most international city in the ever-growing Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. We are also the gateway to the vast Mainland China market. Our proximity to Asian economies and half the world's population boosts our role as a superconnector and super value-adder linking China with the world. Hong Kong is your access point to Mainland China, the wider Asia region and beyond," he added.35 MoUs and announcements were delivered by the government and the following members of the delegation:1.

SAN DIEGO, CA, May 9, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The UK's Military Aviation Authority has issued a Military Type Certificate to the Royal Air Force's Protector RG Mk1 uncrewed aircraft, also designated the MQ-9B, certifying that it has passed a rigorous airworthiness assessment and verifying it's safe to operate without geographic restrictions, including over populous areas. This April 29 decision was a first-of-its-kind milestone for a large, unmanned aircraft system. It's a huge accomplishment for the UK and a technological watershed in the history of unmanned aircraft systems. GA-ASI is the first manufacturer of large, unmanned aircraft to receive an MTC based on rigorous compliance with STANAG 4671, the NATO standard for unmanned aircraft system airworthiness.Obtaining the MTC has been a goal of GA-ASI since the inception of the MQ-9B in January 2014. The company took its proven UAS platform, the MQ-9A, and added performance enhancing features while ensuring that the design was capable of meeting NATO's STANAG 4671 Edition 2 airworthiness requirements. To meet those rigorous requirements, the aircraft incorporates numerous enhancements not found on other large UAS. These include lightning protection, fire protection, anti-icing systems and a fatigue-and-damage-tolerant building block design approach. All flight critical software was designed in compliance with the rigor of Do-178/254. Mission software is rigidly separated from flight critical software. These features not only address the aircraft's airworthiness but also enhance its reliability and operational flexibility to levels unmatched by other UAS."Earning an MTC for MQ-9B was a herculean effort and a seminal achievement for our company," said GA-ASI CEO Linden Blue. "We invested over $500 million as part of an 11-year effort to develop an unmanned aircraft that meets NATO's rigorous airworthiness standards. This included three flight test aircraft, full component and system-level environmental testing to Do-160 and Mil-Standards (system level environmental testing at Elgin and Pax River), full scale static test airframe test to ultimate ground and flight loads, bird strike, hail protection and full-scale fatigue testing to three lifetimes (3x 40,000 notional aircraft flight hours = 120,000 hours total). Our engineers developed over 140,000 pages of detailed technical data verifying that the MQ-9B met those demanding requirements. I congratulate our team for this outstanding accomplishment, and I know our customers need this type certification, which will open civil airspace for their flight operations."The Royal Air Force continues to take delivery of new Protector aircraft at their home in the North of England at RAF Waddington. The UK has 10 aircraft of the 16 it has ordered."Achieving the award of a first in class Military Type Certificate has required years of dedication and perseverance and is a testament to the hard work of all involved. It is a privilege to be the first to be awarded an MTC for the Protector Air System," said Gp. Capt. Neil Venables, Type Airworthiness Authority and holder of the Protector Type Certificate.MQ-9B is the world's most advanced medium altitude, long endurance UAS. MQ-9B includes the SkyGuardian® and SeaGuardian® models as well as the Protector operated by the RAF.In addition to the UK, GA-ASI has MQ-9B orders from Belgium, Canada, Poland, Japan Coast Guard, Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, Taiwan, India, and the U.S. Air Force in support of the Special Operations Command. MQ-9B has also supported various U.S. Navy exercises, including Northern Edge, Integrated Battle Problem, RIMPAC, and Group Sail.About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world's foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Logging more than 8 million flight hours, the Predator® line of UAS has flown for over 30 years and includes MQ-9A Reaper®, MQ-1C Gray Eagle® 25M, MQ-20 Avenger®, and MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian®.
