NFTs are constantly generating headlines and today have become an increasingly important priority for many companies. Now, the crypto sales and trading platform eToro has announced the launch of a $20 million NFT fund that will enable it to buy more NFTs and do more for creators. Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are digital assets that represent real world objects. That could be anything, from property to art. Focusing on NFTs in this way represents the beginning of a new strategy for eToro. Once this has become fully matured it will allow the sales and trading platform to provide a broad spectrum of services to those who are looking to invest in NFTs. From pop stars to artists, many more high-profile figures have begun to use NFTs in recent times, particularly as a way to offer a stake in their brand. Companies like eToro will play a vital role in the way that this economy expands and the opportunities that exist to participate in it.

Sustainable investment is a key growth area in the financial services world and this is leading to a huge drive to secure business-critical talent. Competition for those who have the skills and experience to help build sustainable investment businesses is hot, with bidding contests becoming a reality and salaries spiraling. In fact, for top talent, financial rewards are increasing by around 50%. ESG talent are being identified as 'the stars of asset management' right now and this is making it challenging for even some of the biggest institutions to recruit the best people. Aligning investment with social benefits and climate goals is not new - it has had a momentum that has been building for some time - but the widespread commitment to it is. Assets in sustainable funds grew 53% year-on-year to $2.74tn in 2021. While demand for talented people to manage these assets is spiking, the talent pool remains relatively modest, which is why there are such significant opportunities for the right candidates today.

A report published in April of this year by the U.S.-China Business Council indicates that all 50 US states exported goods to China last year - and that these exports supported 858,000 US jobs. In fact, exports from America to China spiked last year, increasing by 21% which meant they reached a record high of $149 billion. Many of the rural states in the US were the ones that benefitted the most, especially in terms of commodities. Here, Chinese companies bought a wide range of goods, from soybeans to corn and pork. Many other sectors also benefited from the strong exports performance, including technology and pharmaceuticals. Strong goods exports were responsible for a significant level of job creation and were welcomed by many industries. However, ongoing issues with the travel and service industries meant that the export of services was not as successful. While the future of the relationship between the USA and China may not be clear, the export numbers for the past year have obviously had a big impact in the present in terms of supporting profitability and competitiveness among US businesses.

Expansion is taking place across the legal sector today on a global level. Now, a business that began as a personal injury law firm in Liverpool, UK, is about to go global thanks to significant investment designed to fuel an international expansion. The Spirant Group oversees five companies in the legal and medical services sector, including Accident Claims Lawyers UK. It has now secured more than £13 million in funding that will give the company the resources to pursue new markets, in particular in Dubai and the USA. Spirant has more than a decade in the industry, now has 150 staff and a turnover of more than £20 million. The company launched Accident Claims Lawyers UK back in 2012 and then took the business to Australia in 2017. The next step - seeking to establish a foothold in the profitable USA market - is a logical one and, the firm says, part of a robust long-term strategy to help it deal with shifting financial and regulatory environments.

While the war in Ukraine - and subsequent sanctions on Russia - have created a challenging environment for many in the financial services industry, not every role is negatively impacted. In fact, there are some - in the compliance sphere - that are enjoying a resurgence as a result. Sanctions specialist is probably one of the most in-demand legal compliance jobs today as a result of the war in Ukraine. Sanctions are not new but the effect of the round currently being applied to Russia means that there is unprecedented pressure on compliance teams. This is not just with respect to reviewing what the impact of sanctions is likely to be but also when it comes to ensuring that policies, procedures, systems, controls and guidance all reflect the current situation. This has been exacerbated by the way that sanctions have been introduced on a gradual basis, requiring many institutions to be in a constant state of updating and reviewing.

R&D pipelines and new product launches reached record levels last year with sustained growth throughout the pandemic creating very positive figures for 2021. This is according to a new report that showed 5,500 planned new clinical trials began in 2021, a 14% increase on the year before. Not only that but the total volume of products that were actively being developed last year peaked at more than 6,000. This is a huge increase on previous years - for example, it's 68% more than in 2016. The report also revealed that emerging pharma companies are increasingly having an influence over new pipelines and projects. In 2021, new companies were responsible for 65% of the molecules in the R&D pipeline. In 2016 this figure was below 50%. In fact, almost all the indicators are up when it comes to pharma R&D, which shows just how much the life sciences have expanded over the past couple of years.
