What could Europe’s green subsidy plan look like?
With the European Green Deal announced in 2019, Europe was the first to declare its ambition to be a climate-neutral continent. COVID-19 and the complexities of European green subsidies meant that considerable funds are still to be deployed. In the meantime, the US Inflation Reduction Act (announced in July 2022) has received significant attention owing to the simplicity of the mechanism and the potential for a more favourable policy to attract investment into the country. This policy move has prompted the European Commission to respond with the proposed Green Deal Industrial Plan (“GDIP”) to mobilise various forms of state aid for the green transition.

Will sporting goods fragmentation continue if major brands pivot back to wholesale?
The major brands have been pushing into direct-to-consumer (DTC) channels for the past 5+ years, giving deeper customer relationships and higher margin routes to market. However, this has opened the door to smaller brands in wholesale channels and the fragmentation of demand is resulting in some heritage brands losing share and having to accept lower margins in some markets (notably China).

Is Korea's Battery Industry Ready for Another Leap?
Investors interested in the technology of electric vehicles and the potential investment opportunities associated with them may benefit from a review of Korea's leading battery manufacturers. The battery cells produced by Korea's Top 3 manufacturers have advanced battery density/cost efficiency/flexibility in new form factors. They also have made preemptive efforts on vertical integration in crucial minerals/battery materials sourcing for cost control, are well-prepared in battery capacity, and have strong relationships with US-based Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM). The US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) could positively impact Korean battery cell producers through subsidies/credits, but there are still uncertainties about the bill.
