New
Aberdeen fund to invest in Europe
Investors should consider the European stock market, given
its low valuation and high returns on investments, according
to Aberdeen Asset Management Ltd.
Robert Penaloza, the company's deputy CEO, said the European
stock market was trading at a record-low price-to-earning
ratio of 14 times, compared to 25 times six years ago, while
its earning-per-share remained high.
European stocks also benefit from low interest rates and
face a brisk level of merger and acquisition transactions
in the future. Many European companies have actively undergone
corporate restructuring, which leads to lower costs and
productivity gains.
 Program
encourages companies to invest in preventive care
Business leaders who believe that a company is only as
strong as the people who work there may want to start seriously
thinking about their employees' health.
It turns out that many workers aren't as healthy as they
look, which is bad news for employees and their employer's
bottom line.
