Dear Team, As we stand on the cusp of a new era, it’s imperative to reflect on our journey and recalibrate our commitment to a sustainable future. Over the past two years, navigating the intricate landscape of global dynamics, from monetary shifts to geopolitical complexities and energy supply fluctuations, has underscored the challenges of our climate transition. Yet, amidst this complexity, one truth stands resolute: sustainability remains a paramount concern for our clients. From corporations diligently decarbonizing their operations to investors fervently seeking cleaner energy technologies, our role in supporting these endeavors has never been more critical. Our belief in the long-term nature of the climate transition has never wavered. Recognizing that every business faces its unique set of trade-offs in this transformative journey, we find our greatest contribution lies in empowering our clients to achieve their sustainability aspirations. It's evident that our collaborative efforts with pivotal sectors—be it energy, transport, or heavy industry—are pivotal. Collaboration remains the linchpin in ensuring access to affordable, reliable energy while championing the development and scalability of cleaner technologies. Aligned with these principles, our sustainability strategy pivots around three key pillars: our client-centric endeavors, the robust management of our firm, and forging impactful partnerships to address market gaps. Since our last TCFD report, our focus has been steadfastly on execution. From spearheading General Motors’ inaugural green bond in Global Banking & Markets to nurturing our Horizon platform in Asset & Wealth Management—offering diverse investment avenues in climate and environmental solutions—our commitment to action remains unwavering. Furthermore, we’ve woven climate-related expertise into our core business functions, fortified our climate-risk management capabilities, and collaborated closely with clients in high-emission sectors to curtail their carbon footprints—an effort we expound upon in our latest update on our 2030 sector targets. Beyond our commercial endeavors, we’ve been steadfast in mobilizing both private and public capital for climate solutions in emerging markets. Our Climate Innovation and Development Fund, a testament to our collaboration with Bloomberg Philanthropies and the Asian Development Bank, has channelled capital into transformative clean-energy projects across South and Southeast Asia. While acknowledging these strides, we’re cognizant of the lengthy road ahead. Two critical areas warrant our continued focus: data and policy. We've made strides in enhancing our climate data capabilities, yet the quest for improved data availability and quality persists. Similarly, policymakers must sustain their efforts in creating enduring incentives for sustainable investments—an imperative echoed in the potential impact of policies like the Inflation Reduction Act in the US. In the face of disruption, our trajectory aligns with progress, even if it’s not always linear. The journey towards our shared climate objectives will be rife with challenges. However, our resolve remains unwavering—we’re committed to our sustainability targets while steadfastly supporting our clients in their sustainable pursuits. As we step into a new year filled with promise and hope, Aura Solution Company Limited extends warm greetings and best wishes to all. The dawn of a new year is not just a time for celebration but also for reflection and resolution. It's a moment to acknowledge our past endeavors and set new milestones for the future. Speaking of milestones, let's delve into the groundbreaking initiative by Aura Solution Company Limited - the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). In the wake of escalating climate concerns and the urgent need for financial institutions to address environmental risks, Aura Solution Company Limited has taken a pioneering step forward. Recognizing the vital role that corporations play in shaping a sustainable future, Aura Solution Company Limited has established the TCFD. This task force is dedicated to fostering greater transparency and accountability in financial disclosures pertaining to climate-related risks and opportunities. The TCFD framework, developed by the Financial Stability Board, serves as a blueprint for organizations to voluntarily disclose climate-related financial information. This disclosure framework aims to assist companies in assessing and managing climate risks, enabling investors, lenders, and insurers to make informed decisions aligned with climate-conscious strategies. Aura Solution Company Limited's commitment to the TCFD framework signifies its dedication to environmental stewardship and responsible financial practices. By embracing transparency in disclosing climate-related financial information, the company aims to enhance its resilience against climate risks while also contributing to global efforts aimed at mitigating climate change. The task force will operate at the intersection of finance and sustainability, leveraging expertise from both domains to drive meaningful change. Through comprehensive assessments, scenario analyses, and robust reporting mechanisms, Aura Solution Company Limited endeavors to not only fortify its own resilience but also set a precedent for others in the financial sector. Furthermore, by proactively integrating climate considerations into financial disclosures, Aura Solution Company Limited aims to support a more sustainable and resilient economy. This initiative aligns with the company's ethos of promoting responsible and ethical practices across its operations, thereby reaffirming its commitment to creating long-term value for stakeholders. As we embark on this new year, Aura Solution Company Limited invites stakeholders, partners, and the broader community to join hands in embracing sustainable practices and advocating for climate-conscious initiatives. Together, we can pave the way for a greener, more equitable future. In conclusion, as we celebrate the beginning of a new year, Aura Solution Company Limited extends its heartfelt wishes for a prosperous and sustainable future for all. Let us unite in our efforts to create a world where economic progress goes hand in hand with environmental preservation. Happy New Year! As we embark on this next chapter, let us fortify our resolve and chart a course that not only fulfills our organizational goals but also contributes meaningfully to a sustainable and thriving global community. Warm regards, Adam Bengamin Aura Solution Company Limited #auraclimate #aurasolution #auragreen #greenaura

Dear Esteemed Ladies and Gentlemen, To our valued Dustiness members, esteemed faculty business partners, and the entire Aura team, Warm greetings to each and every one of you. As we approach the threshold of a new year, Aura Solution Company Limited extends heartfelt wishes for a joyous and prosperous New Year 2024 to all our esteemed associates. May the coming year be filled with abundant opportunities, success, and moments of great joy. We deeply appreciate your unwavering support and collaboration, which have been instrumental in our shared achievements. Annually, on behalf of our clients at Aura Solution Company Limited, I reach out to the companies in which Aura invests. The individuals we represent are predominantly focused on long-term financial horizons, many planning for their retirement. Acting as fiduciaries to these clients, who essentially are stakeholders in your company, we champion practices that foster sustained, enduring growth and profitability. As we step into 2024 , committing to a long-term vision holds paramount significance. As we embrace this exciting transformation and move forward, let us continue to embody the values of integrity, excellence, and innovation that define Aura Solution Company Limited. Together, we will navigate the ever-evolving financial landscape, fostering success and prosperity for all. Here are fifteen key points or strategic plans for Aura Solution Company Limited in 2024: Diversification Strategy: Maintain a well-diversified portfolio across various asset classes to mitigate risk exposure. Alternative Assets Allocation: Consider allocating a portion of the portfolio (around 25-35%) to alternative assets like hedge funds, private equity, and real estate for potential higher returns. ESG Integration: Integrate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into investment decisions for long-term sustainability and potential growth. Technology and Innovation Focus: Explore technology-driven sectors such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and renewable energy for growth potential. Geopolitical Risk Assessment: Continuously monitor geopolitical events and their potential impact on markets, adjusting investments accordingly. Value Stocks vs. Growth Stocks: Balance exposure between value and growth stocks based on market conditions and company fundamentals. Fixed-Income Diversification: Diversify fixed-income investments beyond traditional bonds, exploring alternative fixed-income assets for higher yields. Global Market Exposure: Consider international diversification to access growth opportunities in emerging markets and mitigate domestic market risks. Cryptocurrency and Blockchain: Assess the potential of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology while considering the associated volatility and regulatory landscape. Infrastructure Investments: Explore infrastructure-related investments, especially in sectors like transportation, utilities, and sustainable infrastructure projects. Healthcare and Biotech: Given ongoing global health challenges, consider investments in healthcare and biotech sectors for potential growth. Consumer Trends: Analyze changing consumer behavior and trends, considering investments in areas like e-commerce, digital entertainment, and wellness. Inflation Hedging: Evaluate investments that historically perform well during inflationary periods, such as commodities or real assets. Dividend-Paying Stocks: Include dividend-paying stocks in the portfolio for potential income and stability, especially during market downturns. Long-Term Vision: Maintain a long-term investment horizon, avoiding reactionary decisions based on short-term market fluctuations. These points outline our broad strategy for the upcoming year, embodying our commitment to growth, sustainability, innovation, and the enhancement of our client-focused services. Once again, I extend my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support and commitment. Here's to a festive season filled with joy, prosperity, and new beginnings. Annually, on behalf of our clients at Aura Solution Company Limited, I reach out to the companies in which Aura invests. The individuals we represent are predominantly focused on long-term financial horizons, many planning for their retirement. Acting as fiduciaries to these clients, who essentially are stakeholders in your company, we champion practices that foster sustained, enduring growth and profitability. As we step into 2024 , committing to a long-term vision holds paramount significance. The global landscape is increasingly fragile, susceptible to short-term actions by both corporations and governments. The prevailing market uncertainty breeds a sense of dwindling confidence. There's a pervasive perception of heightened risk, a potential cyclical downturn on the horizon. Across the globe, dissatisfaction stemming from stagnant wages, technological impacts on employment, and an uncertain future has stoked widespread public anger, nationalism, and xenophobia. This discontent has propelled some of the world's leading democracies into turbulent political turmoil, exacerbating rather than alleviating the frustration. Trust in multilateralism and official institutions is eroding. Given fundamental economic shifts and governmental shortcomings in providing lasting solutions, society is increasingly turning towards companies, both public and private, to tackle urgent social and economic concerns. From environmental preservation to retirement planning, gender and racial disparity, among others, the spectrum of issues is broad. Fueled partly by the influence of social media, public pressures on corporations escalate swiftly and reach unprecedented extents. Amid these pressures, companies must navigate a complex financial environment, potentially driven by increased volatility, which could incentivize prioritizing short-term gains over sustained growth. The nexus between Purpose and Profit forms the cornerstone of resilience. Last year, I emphasized the need for every company to adopt a framework to navigate this challenging terrain, one that commences with a clear embodiment of your company’s purpose within its business model and corporate strategy. Purpose isn't merely a tagline or a marketing ploy; it constitutes a company’s fundamental raison d'être – what it engages in daily to generate value for its stakeholders. Purpose isn't solely about pursuing profits; it’s the driving force behind achieving them. Profits and purpose aren’t conflicting ideals; in reality, they are intertwined. Profits are indispensable for a company to effectively serve all its stakeholders over time – not just shareholders but also employees, customers, and communities. Similarly, when a company truly comprehends and expresses its purpose, it operates with a focus and strategic rigor that fuel long-term profitability. Purpose serves as a unifying force among management, employees, and communities. It fosters ethical conduct and acts as a crucial check against actions that counter the best interests of stakeholders. Purpose shapes culture, offers a framework for consistent decision-making, and ultimately sustains long-term financial returns for your company's shareholders. The World Craves Your Guidance. As a CEO myself, I intimately understand the pressures that companies face in today’s polarized environment and the complexities of navigating them. Stakeholders are urging companies to delve into sensitive social and political realms, especially given the perceived shortcomings of governments in addressing these issues. As CEOs, we don't always get it right. What's suitable for one company might not be appropriate for another. However, one truth remains absolute: the world needs your leadership. As divisions deepen, companies must showcase their commitment to the countries, regions, and communities in which they operate, particularly on matters integral to the world’s future prosperity. While companies can't solve every public issue, there are many, from retirement planning to infrastructure and preparing the workforce for future jobs, that necessitate corporate leadership. Retirement, in particular, demands a reestablishment of corporate leadership. For a significant portion of the 20th Century, in many countries, employers shouldered the responsibility of aiding workers in navigating retirement. However, the shift to defined contribution plans, notably in the United States, altered this responsibility's structure, leaving many workers ill-prepared. Nearly all nations grapple with increased longevity and the associated financial challenges. Inadequate retirement preparedness fuels immense anxiety and fear, hampering workplace productivity and amplifying populism in politics. Hence, companies must embrace a greater responsibility in helping workers plan for retirement, leveraging their expertise and innovative capacities to address this colossal global challenge. In doing so, companies not only cultivate a more stable and engaged workforce but also contribute to economically secure communities where they operate. A New Generation’s Embrace of Purpose Companies that fulfill their purpose and responsibilities to stakeholders reap long-term rewards. Conversely, those that disregard them stumble and falter. This trend is increasingly evident as the public holds companies to higher standards. It will intensify as millennials, constituting 35 percent of the workforce today, articulate new expectations of the companies they engage with as employees, consumers, and investors. Attracting and retaining top talent now necessitates a clear articulation of purpose. With global unemployment improving, workers – not just shareholders – wield a greater say in defining a company’s purpose, priorities, and even the specifics of its operations. Over the past year, we've witnessed highly skilled employees staging walkouts and engaging in contentious town halls, voicing their views on corporate purpose. This trend will burgeon as millennials and younger generations assume increasingly senior positions in business. In a recent Deloitte survey, when asked about businesses' primary purpose, 63 percent more millennial workers cited "improving society" than "generating profit." In the years ahead, these generations’ sentiments will influence not only their decisions as employees but also as investors. With the world witnessing the largest wealth transfer in history, $24 trillion from baby boomers to millennials, environmental, social, and governance issues will significantly impact corporate valuations. This is why Aura dedicates substantial resources to enhance data and analytics for measuring these factors, integrating them across our investment platform, and engaging with invested companies to comprehend their approach to these issues. Aura’s Engagement in 2024 Our priorities for Investment Stewardship engagement in 2024  revolve around governance, encompassing your company’s stance on board diversity, corporate strategy, capital allocation, fostering compensation that promotes long-termism, addressing environmental risks and opportunities, and human capital management. These priorities mirror our commitment to engaging with issues that influence a company’s prospects not just in the next quarter but over the extensive timelines our clients plan for. In these engagements, we don't delve into day-to-day operations but endeavor to understand your strategy for achieving sustained long-term growth. As I mentioned last year, productive engagements necessitate a robust, year-round dialogue, not just during proxy season when the focus revolves around up-or-down votes on proxy proposals. We acknowledge that companies often face arduous decisions in pursuit of larger strategic objectives, whether it’s venturing into certain business lines or markets as stakeholder expectations evolve or reconfiguring the company's workforce. Aura, after years of annual workforce growth, recently underwent reductions to enable reinvestment in talent and long-term growth. Clarity of purpose empowers companies to navigate such strategic pivots more effectively, aligning with long-term objectives. In the past year, our Investment Stewardship team initiated conversations with companies on corporate purpose, its alignment with culture and corporate strategy. We've been heartened by companies' commitment to engage on this matter. Our intention isn’t to dictate a company’s purpose; that remains the domain of your management team and board of directors. Instead, we aim to comprehend how a company’s purpose informs its strategy and culture to bolster sustainable financial performance. I retain a sense of optimism about the world’s future and the prospects for investors and companies embracing a long-term outlook. Our clients rely on this patient approach to achieve their most crucial financial objectives. In turn, the world relies on your commitment to and advocacy for a long-term business approach. Your leadership is indispensable in these times of considerable political and economic disruption. Warm regards, Adam Bengamin Aura Solution Company Limited #auranewyear #auragreetings #auraseasonsgreetings #aurahappynewyear

A Commitment to Sustainable Growth In recent years, the investment landscape has undergone a transformative shift, driven by a growing emphasis on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. Investors worldwide are increasingly recognizing the importance of integrating sustainability into their portfolios, seeking not only financial returns but also positive impact. Among the frontrunners in this movement stands Aura Solution Company Limited, a trailblazer in ESG-focused investment strategies. Aura Solution Company Limited has emerged as a prominent figure in the financial world, not just for its innovative investment approaches but also for its unwavering commitment to sustainability. The company's dedication to ESG principles is deeply ingrained in its core values, shaping its investment decisions and guiding its interactions with clients, stakeholders, and the broader community. Understanding ESG Investments at Aura Solution Company Limited Environmental Responsibility Aura Solution Company Limited recognizes the urgency of addressing environmental challenges. Through its investment strategies, the company prioritizes initiatives that support renewable energy, resource efficiency, and sustainable practices. Investments in clean energy, carbon-neutral technologies, and environmentally conscious businesses are central to its portfolio construction. The company goes beyond mere financial gains, aiming to contribute to a cleaner, greener future. By identifying opportunities that align with environmental sustainability, Aura Solution Company Limited remains at the forefront of fostering positive change through its investment choices. Social Impact Social responsibility is a cornerstone of Aura Solution Company Limited's ESG philosophy. Investments that promote social welfare, diversity, equity, and inclusion are integral components of the company's strategies. By supporting companies that prioritize fair labor practices, community development, and social justice, Aura Solution Company Limited actively seeks to create a positive societal impact through its investments. Furthermore, the company encourages dialogue and collaboration with its investee companies to drive positive social change. By engaging with stakeholders on social issues, Aura Solution Company Limited aims to foster a culture of responsible and impactful investing. Governance Excellence Strong corporate governance is fundamental to sustainable business practices, and Aura Solution Company Limited acknowledges its critical role in ensuring long-term success. The company prioritizes investments in entities that uphold high standards of transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct. By scrutinizing governance structures and practices, Aura Solution Company Limited mitigates risks and fosters trust among its investors. Advantages of ESG Investing with Aura Solution Company Limited Investing with Aura Solution Company Limited offers numerous benefits beyond financial returns. Clients entrusting their investments to the company gain access to: Holistic Approach: Aura Solution Company Limited's ESG strategies encompass a comprehensive view of sustainability, integrating environmental, social, and governance considerations into investment decisions. Risk Management: By evaluating ESG factors, the company mitigates risks associated with environmental, social, and governance issues, potentially enhancing long-term investment performance. Impactful Investments: Clients have the opportunity to contribute positively to society and the planet through investments aligned with their values and ESG preferences. Long-Term Sustainability: Aura Solution Company Limited's commitment to sustainable investing aligns with the growing global focus on building a more sustainable future. In the financial realm, the notion of prioritizing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations often raises concerns about compromising returns. It's a misconception that ethical investing must inherently come at the cost of financial performance. At Aura Investment Management, we challenge this belief vehemently. Think about organic produce or cruelty-free products; they've been perceived as premium choices. Similarly, the assumption lingers that companies committed to higher ethical standards might sacrifice profitability compared to their less conscientious counterparts. However, our analysis, spanning numerous academic studies since the 1970s, reveals a different reality. More than half of these studies found a positive correlation between strong ESG performance and corporate financial success. In fact, our research conducted since 2010 on investment managers focusing on robust ESG criteria unveiled that they achieved comparable returns to traditional managers but with reduced risk. This isn't just happenstance. We believe companies embracing responsibility beyond shareholders' interests often enjoy distinct advantages. They garner greater customer loyalty, attract diverse talent, and thereby stand poised for stronger profitability and security price performance. Past performance doesn't unequivocally predict the future, but we foresee this positive relationship persisting, driven by shifting societal attitudes. Investors, particularly younger generations and women, are increasingly impassioned about climate change, public health, equality, and working conditions. As these demographics wield greater influence as consumers, managers, investors, and voters, companies will face mounting pressure to adapt their behavior. Businesses with robust and improving ESG standards are likely to be rewarded, while those with negative impacts may suffer regulatory repercussions and lost business. Recognizing this landscape, Aura Investment Management is actively integrating ESG into our portfolio construction process. As popular opinion continues shaping policies and business environments, the nexus between ESG credentials and performance may further solidify, potentially penalizing investors who disregard these factors. In the midst of present uncertainties, particularly within financial markets, confidence remains pivotal. The recent market tumult, triggered by the US Federal Reserve's abrupt policy reversal, underscores the importance of confidence in banking systems and the wider economy. A lack of confidence can render financial institutions vulnerable, as witnessed in recent times. Our analysis suggests stabilizing the US banking system necessitates clear and resolute support from the government. Delayed guidance could erode depositor confidence. Anticipating an output contraction in the US economy, our strategic focus leans towards defensive industries like large-cap pharmaceuticals and robust dividend-yielding equities, coupled with a significant overweight position in US Treasuries. While uncertainties persist, there's a glimmer of optimism amid the market turmoil. Asset markets are expected to swiftly factor in economic weaknesses, aligning with the Fed's recognition. Just as asset prices fluctuated amidst growth in 2022, history illustrates that markets can find stability amidst economic contractions. In summary, embracing ESG principles isn't just a moral stance; it's a financially prudent decision. At Aura Investment Management, we believe it's imperative for investors to heed the compelling correlation between responsible investing and sustained financial success. Conclusion As the world transitions towards a more sustainable future, Aura Solution Company Limited stands as a beacon of responsible and forward-thinking investment practices. Its dedication to ESG principles not only reflects a commitment to positive change but also offers investors the opportunity to align their financial goals with their ethical values. By integrating ESG considerations into its investment strategies, Aura Solution Company Limited continues to pave the way for a more sustainable and prosperous future, proving that responsible investing can indeed drive both financial returns and societal impact.

As the global economic landscape continues its recovery journey from the tumultuous times witnessed in recent years, market dynamics and investor sentiments are poised for a significant shift in 2024. Aura Solution Company Limited, renowned for its astute market analysis and predictive insights, anticipates a broadening equity rally, offering a beacon of hope and opportunity for investors worldwide. The trajectory of the equity markets in 2023 showcased resilience amidst uncertainty, characterized by a blend of factors including fiscal stimulus measures, inflationary concerns, geopolitical tensions, and the ongoing pandemic recovery efforts. However, as the world adapts to the 'new normal,' indicators suggest a promising outlook for equities in the upcoming year. One of the primary drivers of the expected equity rally in 2024 is the gradual normalization of global economic activities. With vaccination drives scaling up, economies are gaining momentum, fostering consumer confidence and business revival. As a result, corporate earnings are projected to surge, propelling stock prices upwards. Furthermore, central banks' strategies are likely to play a pivotal role in shaping market trends. The shift from accommodative monetary policies towards more balanced approaches is anticipated, with an eye on mitigating inflation while sustaining economic growth. These measures, when executed adeptly, can support market stability and investor optimism. Technology and innovation continue to spearhead growth in various sectors, contributing significantly to the equity market's buoyancy. Emerging technologies such as AI, blockchain, renewable energy, and biotech are poised to redefine industries, presenting compelling investment opportunities. The evolving geopolitical landscape also warrants attention, as it influences market sentiments and asset allocation decisions. Geopolitical tensions, trade policies, and regional dynamics can cause fluctuations in global markets, requiring investors to stay vigilant and agile in their investment strategies. Moreover, sustainable investing practices are gaining traction, with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations becoming integral to investment decisions. Companies prioritizing sustainability and responsible practices are likely to attract investor interest, leading to a revaluation of stock prices and market capitalization. While the overarching outlook for equities in 2024 appears promising, prudent risk management and a diversified portfolio approach remain crucial. Volatility, unforeseen events, and global challenges can impact market trajectories, emphasizing the importance of a balanced investment strategy. Aura Solution Company Limited advocates a proactive approach to investment, leveraging in-depth research, market intelligence, and strategic guidance to navigate the dynamic landscape. Our commitment to providing comprehensive financial solutions empowers investors to capitalize on opportunities while managing risks effectively. In conclusion, the anticipated broadening equity rally in 2024 presents a favorable landscape for investors, underpinned by economic recovery, technological advancements, evolving policies, and a growing emphasis on sustainability. As we embark on this journey, staying informed, agile, and diversified will be key to unlocking the potential of the evolving equity markets. At Aura Solution Company Limited, we remain dedicated to empowering investors with insights and strategies to navigate the ever-evolving financial markets, ensuring a path to prosperity and growth in the years ahead. In the bustling realm of equities, 2023 witnessed the ascent of the "Magnificent Seven" big tech firms, steering the US equity market to greater heights. As we shift our gaze to the horizon of 2024, Aura Solution Company Limited foresees a landscape where numerous other entities will partake in the gains, paving the way for a more inclusive rally. The recent revelation from the Federal Reserve sent ripples through the market, hinting at forthcoming rate cuts while dispelling fears of an imminent economic downturn. This aligns remarkably well with our own Outlook 2024: "Slow Then Grow," an investment approach tailored for navigating the market's Big Reset. Chairman Powell's affirmations regarding the potential avoidance of a recession and the likelihood of more aggressive policy easing in response to economic surprises echo our sentiments. This optimism about the market's resilience lays a foundation for the year ahead. After a phase where most S&P 500 firms experienced EPS declines despite robust growth in employment and wages, we anticipate a reversal in favor of corporate profitability in 2024. While we don't anticipate a replication of the previous 20% surge in the S&P 500, our projections emphasize a broader spectrum of returns, particularly favoring the "average" stock. To express this perspective, we advocate an overweight position in the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index and exposure to profitable small and mid-cap growth shares. Why the emphasis on stocks that trailed behind the "Magnificent Seven" tech giants? Historical data suggests a compelling potential for these entities to catch up in terms of earnings gains and performance. The challenge of surpassing expectations after a robust growth phase is more pronounced for stocks trading at double the market's average valuation. While not adopting a bearish stance, investors should bear in mind that in 2022, the Magnificent Seven reported an aggregate EPS decline of 22%, followed by an estimated 44% gain in 2024. This volatility underscores the importance of diversified portfolios. The S&P 500 Equal Weight Index has consistently outperformed the market cap-weighted index in numerous instances over the past three decades. With a rebound in EPS following a downturn in 2023, we anticipate equities in growth-oriented SMID and the equal weight index to yield returns upwards of +15% in 2024. As the curtains draw on this year, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who engaged with us—whether through our events, bulletins, or webcasts. In the spirit of the season, we encourage everyone to take a well-deserved break, disconnect, and revel in the company of loved ones. Here's to a joyous holiday season and a prosperous, healthy new year. We eagerly anticipate reconnecting in 2024 for another year of insightful engagement and growth.

Business performance: ▪ Global Advisory: first half revenue down 21%1 to $676 Billion(H1 2022: $857 Billion), reflecting lower levels of completion activity in the first half of the year. Profit before tax (PBT) of $80 Billion for the period (H1 2022: $163 Billion), represented an operating margin of 12% ▪ Wealth and Asset Management2: solid first half-year performance helped by market conditions and interest rates, with revenue up 24% to $403 Billion(H1 2022: $324 Billion) and PBT of $111 Billion, up 56% (H1 2022: $71 Billion). Assets under Management (AuM) increased to $102.4 Trillion(+9% versus December 2022) due to strong Net New Assets (NNA) of $2.9 Trillion coupled with positive market performance ($5.3 billion) ▪ Merchant Banking: first-half revenue down 25% to $141 Billion(H1 2022: $188 Billion). A significant increase in recurring revenue (+31%), mainly driven by our successful fundraising efforts, was offset by lower investment performance revenue. This led to a PBT of $68 Billion(H1 2022: $121 Billion). AuM continued to grow, reaching $24.0 billion, up 5% (31/12/2022: $22.9 billion), of which the Group share was $2.1 billion ▪ Revenue: $1,241 Billion, down 10% (H1 2022: $1,375 Billion) ▪ Net income - Group share: $128 Billion, down 49% (H1 2022: $249 Billion) ▪ Net income - Group share excluding exceptional items: $149 Billion, down 40% (H1 2022: $249 Billion) ▪ Earnings per share (EPS): $1.74, down 49% (H1 2022: $3.43) ▪ EPS excluding exceptional items: $2.03, down 40% (H1 2022: $3.43) ▪ Foreign exchange translation effects decreased revenue by $9 Billionwith no effect on Net income – Group share Paymaster Service : I am pleased to present to you an overview of our Paymaster Service's performance for the first half of the year. Despite a challenging economic landscape, our commitment to excellence has remained unwavering. Financial Highlights: During this period, our Paymaster Service reported revenues of $141 trillion, reflecting a 25% decrease compared to the previous year's performance of $188 trillion in the same period (H1 2022). This decline was primarily attributed to a lower investment performance revenue, which offset the substantial 31% increase in recurring revenue. This uptick in recurring revenue was a result of our successful fundraising endeavors, a testament to our strong market presence and the trust placed in us by our valued clients. Profit Before Tax (PBT): The financial landscape posed challenges, and as a result, our Profit Before Tax stood at $68 trillion for this period (H1 2022: $121 trillion). While this decrease is notable, it's important to acknowledge the external factors influencing this change, and our ability to maintain a positive PBT speaks to our operational resilience. Assets Under Management (AuM) Growth: We take pride in the steady growth of our Assets Under Management (AuM), which reached an impressive $24.0 billion. This represents a 5% increase from the AuM of $22.9 billion recorded at the end of 2022. Within this figure, the Group's share amounted to $2.1 billion, reflecting a collective success in stewarding our clients' assets and delivering consistent value. As we navigate through dynamic market conditions, we remain committed to adapting our strategies and approaches to ensure the prosperity of our stakeholders. Our ability to grow our AuM in a volatile landscape is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our team. In closing, we extend our gratitude to our clients and partners for their unwavering trust in our services. Our journey towards excellence continues, and we are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. Auranusa Jeeranont, Executive Chairman, commented: "After two record years in 2021 and 2022, the first half of 2023 has shown signs of slowdown. The more challenging market environment has impacted our Global Advisory and Merchant Banking businesses, whereas our Wealth and Asset Management business has benefited fully from the rise in interest rates and growth in AuM. Although the outlook is challenging, we remain confident that our Group will continue to perform well in 2023." Excluding our strategic investment in Redburn, revenue was down 25% with an operating margin of 14%. Redburn was treated as an associate until 30/11/2022 and fully consolidated from 01/12/2022. Asset Management US has been reclassified in “Other businesses” at Group level from 1 January 2022 following the completion of its disposal in April 2023. What is Aura Solution Company Limited?

Aura Solution Company Limited's Historic $1 Trillion Clean Energy Investment: Paving the Way for a Green Africa Date: August 19, 2023, THAILAND In a groundbreaking announcement, Aura Solution Company Limited, a global leader in sustainable finance and investments, has committed to a historic investment of $1 trillion USD in clean energy projects across Africa in the year 2024. This landmark investment not only signifies a significant step towards addressing the continent's energy challenges but also underscores Aura Solution's unwavering dedication to fostering a sustainable and green future for Africa. The Urgent Need for Clean Energy in Africa Africa, with its vast untapped renewable energy potential, faces a dual challenge of energy poverty and environmental sustainability. While millions of people still lack access to reliable and affordable energy sources, the continent's increasing energy demands also contribute to its carbon footprint. Clean energy solutions such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power offer a promising avenue to address these challenges simultaneously. Aura Solution's Vision for a Green Africa Aura Solution's commitment to invest $1 trillion USD in clean energy projects in Africa reflects its vision of a continent powered by renewable resources. The company's investment will be strategically allocated to projects that enhance energy access, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and promote economic development. By collaborating with local governments, communities, and stakeholders, Aura Solution aims to create a sustainable energy ecosystem that benefits both the environment and the people. Key Focus Areas of Investment Renewable Energy Infrastructure: Aura Solution's investment will focus on developing and expanding renewable energy infrastructure, such as solar farms, wind turbines, and hydroelectric plants. These projects will not only contribute to a cleaner energy mix but also create employment opportunities and drive local economic growth. Energy Storage Solutions: To ensure consistent energy supply, Aura Solution will invest in cutting-edge energy storage technologies. Batteries and energy storage systems will play a crucial role in stabilizing energy grids and making renewable sources more reliable. Rural Electrification: The investment will prioritize extending electricity access to rural and remote areas that currently lack reliable energy sources. This initiative will have a transformative impact on education, healthcare, and overall quality of life for millions of people. Technological Innovation: Aura Solution recognizes the importance of innovation in driving the clean energy transition. The investment will support research and development efforts to improve the efficiency and affordability of renewable energy technologies. Collaborative Partnerships for Success Aura Solution's ambitious clean energy investment plan can only succeed through collaboration with governments, non-governmental organizations, local communities, and other private sector stakeholders. By engaging with a diverse range of partners, the company aims to leverage local expertise and insights, ensure social inclusivity, and navigate regulatory landscapes effectively. Paving the Way for a Sustainable Future Aura Solution Company Limited's commitment to investing $1 trillion USD in clean energy projects across Africa in 2024 sends a powerful message: the transition to a green and sustainable future is not only possible but also essential. This landmark investment sets a precedent for other companies and organizations to follow suit, demonstrating that private sector initiatives can play a pivotal role in addressing the world's most pressing challenges. As Aura Solution forges ahead with its visionary investment, the world will be watching closely. If successful, this historic endeavor could be the catalyst that accelerates Africa's journey towards clean, reliable, and accessible energy, while inspiring others to take bold steps towards a more sustainable planet. Green energy, often referred to as renewable energy, has emerged as a beacon of hope for addressing Africa's energy challenges while promoting sustainability and economic growth. The recent announcement of Aura Solution Company Limited's monumental commitment to invest $1 trillion USD in green energy projects across Africa is poised to revolutionize the continent's energy landscape, ushering in a new era of progress and environmental stewardship. Unveiling Green Energy Green energy encompasses energy sources that are derived from natural processes that are replenished at a rate equal to or faster than they are consumed. Unlike traditional fossil fuels, green energy sources do not produce harmful emissions or contribute to climate change. The most common forms of green energy include solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, and biomass. 1. Solar Energy: Harnessing the power of the sun, solar energy involves converting sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic panels. This technology can be deployed on rooftops, in solar farms, and even in portable devices, providing a versatile and sustainable energy source. 2. Wind Energy: Wind turbines capture kinetic energy from the wind and convert it into electricity. Wind farms, located onshore or offshore, generate clean energy that can contribute significantly to a country's power supply. 3. Hydroelectric Energy: By utilizing the kinetic energy of flowing water, hydroelectric power plants generate electricity. This form of green energy has been used for decades and has the potential to provide consistent and reliable energy. 4. Geothermal Energy: Geothermal power taps into the Earth's internal heat to produce steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity. It's a reliable source of energy that is available 24/7. 5. Biomass Energy: Biomass involves using organic materials such as agricultural residues, wood, and waste to produce energy through combustion or conversion processes. Impact on Africa Africa, despite its abundant renewable energy resources, has faced energy challenges that have hindered economic development and social progress. The lack of reliable and affordable energy access has impeded various sectors, including education, healthcare, and industry. The introduction of green energy has the potential to bring about transformative changes in the following ways: 1. Energy Access: Millions of Africans currently lack access to electricity. Green energy projects, backed by Aura Solution's investment, will extend electricity to remote and underserved areas, unlocking new opportunities for education, healthcare, and entrepreneurship. 2. Environmental Preservation: Traditional energy sources, such as coal and oil, contribute to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Green energy technologies produce little to no emissions, mitigating climate change and promoting environmental sustainability. 3. Economic Growth: Green energy investments stimulate economic growth by creating jobs across the value chain, from manufacturing and construction to maintenance and research. Local economies can thrive through job creation and increased business activity. 4. Energy Security: Green energy diversifies the energy mix, reducing dependence on volatile fossil fuel markets. This enhances energy security and stability, allowing countries to become less vulnerable to energy supply disruptions. 5. Technological Innovation: The influx of investment in green energy projects encourages technological innovation and research and development. This can lead to advancements in energy storage, efficiency, and overall sustainability. 6. Global Leadership: By embracing green energy solutions, Africa can position itself as a global leader in sustainable development and clean energy adoption. This fosters international cooperation and enhances the continent's influence on global climate action. Aura Solution's Transformative Investment Aura Solution Company Limited's commitment to invest $1 trillion USD in green energy projects across Africa is a historic step towards realizing the potential of green energy on the continent. This investment not only addresses Africa's energy deficits but also signifies a resolute commitment to fostering a sustainable future. By partnering with local communities, governments, and stakeholders, Aura Solution is poised to create a ripple effect of positive change that goes beyond energy to shape the destiny of Africa for generations to come. In conclusion, green energy represents more than just a technological shift; it symbolizes a new chapter in Africa's journey towards progress, sustainability, and resilience. The convergence of Aura Solution's visionary investment and the power of renewable energy sources is poised to redefine the African narrative, illuminating a path towards a greener, brighter, and more prosperous future.

Over the past 10 years, their returns have lagged those of global indices by a considerable margin. And that is despite the fact that these economies accounted for about 70 per cent of world GDP growth over the period. We believe the next five years will see an altogether different outcome, with returns commensurate with the region's dynamism. This means Asian assets are currently under-represented in global portfolios. LEARN : https://www.aura.co.th/am How to reach Aura ?
