Tematica Research "had a very strong first half of the year"

HANetf Holdings Limited

Tematica Research Head of Indexing Mark Abssy joins Thomas Warner from Proactive ahead of the release of Tematica's latest Digital Infrastructure and Connectivity report. Abssy gives an overview of where his focus is going to be for the rest of the calendar year, noting that he'll be working with HANetf to promote the Digital Infrastructure and Connectivity UCITS ETF. He goes on to reiterate the USP of the fund, which is that it gives investors exposure to tech through the digital connectivity and infrastructure that underpins the sector rather than through tech companies per se. He notes that the index stands out by only including companies deriving at least 80% of revenue from digital infrastructure and connectivity, which precludes some big players like Amazon. He says the team is "really looking for those companies that truly represent in a very focused way what the strategy is." He highlights the success of their approach, saying that the fund "had a very strong first half of teh year" and emphasising that thematic investing requires targeted exposure. He also touches on recent shifts in market sentiment, pointing out a broader participation in top contributors, indicating a return to fundamentals.

AI Digital

This partnership is focused on helping brands to unlock the power of video as a performance media channel. Bringing together KERV’s AI-powered technology – which transforms video content into interactive experiences – with AI Digital’s programmatic and trading expertise, brands will get superior performance for video and CTV campaigns through better campaign results and consumer experiences for high-value audiences. "As video and CTV channels become increasingly crowded, advertisers are struggling to break through the noise and establish meaningful connections with their target audiences," said Jay Wolff, CRO of KERV Interactive. "Combining AI Digital's programmatic and trading expertise with KERV AI's interactive video advertising technology now gives brands the ability to accelerate business outcomes and drive active attention from their static video assets.” AI Digital’s collaboration with KERV will also extend AI Digital's Center of Excellence initiative in the streaming category by providing an integrated suite of utilities designed to help marketers navigate and reach the modern streaming consumer and drive them to commerce, across all consumption channels including video, audio and out-of-home (OOH). “We are excited to be working with KERV and bringing innovation to streaming and programmatic. Streaming is fundamentally changing how people consume media in the home, out of the home and everywhere in between,” said Stephen Magli, CEO and founder, AI Digital. “We can’t think of the consumer solely on video anymore because their consumption is ubiquitous across screens in and out of the home.

Direxion Launches Nvidia Single Stock Leveraged and Inverse ETFs

Direxion

Following upon their recent success of single stock leveraged and inverse ETFs, Direxion, a leading provider of tradeable and thematic ETFs, today announced the launch of an additional pair of single stock leveraged and inverse ETFs, which allow active traders to obtain magnified, or inverse, exposure to the daily performance of the common stock of Nvidia Corporation through either the Direxion Daily NVDA Bull 1.5X Shares ( Ticker: NVDU ) or Direxion Daily NVDA Bear 1X Shares ( Ticker: NVDD ). “At the forefront of the AI craze, Nvidia has become a bellwether for both the semiconductor space and broader technology sector,” said Direxion Managing Director and Head of Distribution and Alternatives, Edward Egilinsky. “The ability to trade NVDU or NVDD is one way for traders to respond tactically to potential company events and market sentiment, regardless of the stock’s direction.” As ground-breaking products built for active traders, Direxion’s pairs of single stock leveraged and inverse ETFs are meant to be used for short-term trading purposes. Leveraged and inverse single stock ETFs should not be viewed as buy and hold investments, but rather trading tools for traders with a high risk tolerance. In addition, unlike traditional ETFs, or even other levered and/or inverse ETFs, these ETFs track the price of a single stock rather than an index, eliminating the benefits of diversification. "As the AI sector continues to drive tech markets, we felt now was the ideal time to launch the NVDU and NVDD pair to serve as valuable tools for traders navigating this volatile market,” Egilinsky added. “Since the approval and launch of Direxion’s suite of single-stock ETFs, the interest in these trading products continues to grow. This new pair is an exciting game changer for those who want to take more risk on the AI trade.” All Direxion leveraged and inverse ETFs are intended only for investors with an in-depth understanding of the risks associated with seeking leveraged investment results, and who plan to actively monitor and manage their positions. There is no guarantee these ETFs will meet their objective. Please visit the Direxion Leveraged and Inverse ETF Education Center, where you will find educational brochures, videos, and a self-paced online course to help you understand if leveraged ETFs are right for you. About Direxion: Direxion equips investors who are driven by conviction with ETF solutions built for purpose and fine-tuned for precision. These solutions are available for a broad spectrum of investors, whether executing short-term tactical trades, or investing in thematic strategies. Direxion’s reputation is founded on developing products that precisely express market perspectives and allow investors to manage their risk exposure. Founded in 1997, the company has approximately $31.5 billion in assets under management as of June 30, 2023. For more information, please visit www.direxion.com. There is no guarantee that the Funds will achieve their investment objectives. For more information on all Direxion Shares ETFs, go to www.direxion.com, or call us at 866.301.9214. An investor should carefully consider a Fund’s investment objective, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. A Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information about the Direxion Shares. To obtain a prospectus and summary prospectus call 866-476-7523 or visit our website at direxion.com. A Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus should be read carefully before investing. Investing in the funds involves a high degree of risk. Unlike traditional ETFs, or even other leveraged and/or inverse ETFs, these leveraged and/or inverse single-stock ETFs track the price of a single stock rather than an index, eliminating the benefits of diversification. Leveraged and inverse ETFs pursue daily leveraged investment objectives, which means they are riskier than alternatives which do not use leverage. They seek daily goals and should not be expected to track the underlying stock’s performance over periods longer than one day. They are not suitable for all investors and should be utilized only by investors who understand leverage risk and who actively manage their investments. The Funds will lose money if the underlying stock’s performance is flat, and it is possible that the Bull Fund will lose money even if the underlying stock’s performance increases, and the Bear Fund will lose money even if the underlying stock’s performance decreases, over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the full principal value of his or her investment in a single day. Investing in the Funds is not the same as investing directly in NVDA. Semiconductor Industry Risk – Semiconductor companies may face intense competition, both domestically and internationally, and such competition may have an adverse effect on such companies’ profit margins. Semiconductor companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Companies in the semiconductor industry may have products that face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for qualified personnel. NVIDIA Corporation Investing Risk — NVIDIA Corporation faces risks associated with meeting the evolving needs of its large markets – gaming, data center, professional visualization and automotive – and identifying new products, services and technologies; competition in its current and target markets; changes in customer demand; supply chain issues; manufacturing delays; potential significant mismatches between supply and demand giving rise to product shortages or excessive inventory; the dependence on third-parties and their technology to manufacture, assemble, test, package or design its products which reduces control over product quantity and quality, manufacturing yields, development, enhancement and product delivery schedules; significant product defects; international operations, including adverse economic conditions; impacts from climate change, including water and energy availability; business investment and acquisitions; system security and data protection breaches, including cyberattacks; business disruptions; a limited number of customers; the ability to attract, retain and motivate executives and key employees; the proper function of its business processes and information systems; impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic; its intellectual property; and other regulatory, and legal issues. Direxion Shares Risks - An investment in each Fund involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Each Fund is non-diversified and includes risks associated with a Fund concentrating its investments in a particular security, industry, sector, or geographic region which can result in increased volatility. A Fund's investments in derivatives such as futures contracts and swaps may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other investments, including imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund's other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility and lack of availability. As a result, the value of an investment in a Fund may change quickly and without warning. Risks of the Funds include Effects of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk, Leverage Risk, Derivatives Risk, Counterparty Risk, Rebalancing Risk, Intra-Day Investment Risk, Daily Correlation Risk, NVIDIA Corporation Investing Risk, Market Risk, Industry Concentration Risk, Cash Transaction Risk, Tax Risk, Indirect Investment Risk, Trading Halt Risk, and risks specific to the technology sector and semiconductor industry. Additional risks include, for the Direxion Daily NVDA Bear 1X Shares, risks related to Shorting. Please see the summary and full prospectuses for a more complete description of these and other risks of the Funds. Distributor: Foreside Fund Services, LLC.

Vieu unlocks routes to enterprise sales as it unveils its platform

Vieu

Enterprise sales are coveted deals for any business but they need complex navigation across many stakeholders and can take months if not years to close. To create strategic customer wins, beyond early unpaid pilots, B2B sales require deep understanding of the customer problems, building relationships with the buying committee, and creating strategic alignment to accelerate the deal. To help companies navigate these pursuits, Generative AI startup Vieu is today announcing a $2m funding round as it announces the global launch of its sales platform. The funding round saw participation from over 20 marquee angel investors, founders/CEOs, and seasoned GTM executives. Vieu was founded in 2022 by serial tech entrepreneurs and former Microsoft executives, Samir Manjure and Simon Skaria with the mission to help businesses chart their path to enterprise sales success. Samir Manjure, CEO and Founder of Vieu, commented: “When GPS got integrated into smartphones, it became possible to automatically provide turn by turn directions to get to a given destination. Today, with the ability to leverage Generative AI and the power of semantic knowledge graphs presents a watershed moment for B2B Sales. Riding on these advances, Vieu is tackling the holy grail of Enterprise Sales - an auto generated account plan and on-the-rail execution for Enterprise Sales pursuits” The Enterprise B2B Sales industry is worth $81B today and it is projected to grow double digit CAGR through 2030. 93% of the CEOs consider Sales Transformation one of their top 5 strategic priorities, and believe AI would completely upend traditional spray and pray sales methodologies. Vieu is projected to capitalise on this disruption using AI to identify the strategic accounts with highest propensity, equip the sales team with auto-generated Account Plan, and deliver on-the-rail execution plan for each account with company-level observability. “Enterprise sellers are drowning in data and insights from various Sales Intelligence software. Sellers do not need more data or more insights, but they need prescriptive contextual actions for a given enterprise pursuit.” says Samir Manjure. “Given a target enterprise account Vieu provides an entire AI generated execution plan for each Enterprise pursuit from prospecting to proposal to procurement.” Lila Tretikov, ex-CEO of Wikimedia Foundation and dCTO at Microsoft said: “CRM has long failed to create a self-updating data system for actionable, real-time customer intelligence. Vieu Connections Graph uses AI to fuse internet, enterprise, and end-user data to create a data moat, making sales teams more effective with autogenerated plans and turn-by-turn assistance." Multiple enterprise sales teams worldwide are already using Vieu and now the power of Vieu is available to all companies globally with this launch. Seclore Inc has been an early adopter of Vieu. Seclore Inc. pioneered the concept of Data-Centric Security for the Enterprise and is relied on by Fortune 100 companies like Amex, Applied materials, GM, Ford etc. Vishal Gupta, Seclore’s CEO, said, “The Enterprise Sales landscape is changing rapidly. Cold outreach and traditional ABM just doesn’t work while selling to large enterprises. We need to protect our brand while reaching out to target customers, demonstrate our insights in solving their business problems, and strive to deliver value in our very first interaction. Vieu helps us make warm introductions to the target accounts and deliver strategic briefing founded in awareness of their problems and matches with our offering” Like its technology and product, Vieu has an innovative pricing model that is focused on true business outcomes. With the global launch today, Vieu is now offering a 100% money-backed guarantee which makes the decision of onboarding them easy especially in today’s tough macro environment where cost optimization is happening everywhere. “Sales gets paid on performance, so why should sales software be any different” adds Samir Manjure. About Vieu Cofounded by Samir Manjure and Simon Skaria, Vieu uplevels every sales pursuit into faster, bigger strategic wins. Samir previously was founder and CEO of KenSci (acquired by Providence Group) and has held various positions at Microsoft for over 17 years. Simon has founded and sold 2 startups previously – Albits (acquired by ICICI), and Office365Mon (acquired by ZScaler) and has also held various positions at Microsoft for 16 years.
