“I have been working on research in this area for the past six to eight years, and during that time, I noticed a dramatic growth in green energy investments worldwide,” he adds, explaining the origins of the programme. “Investment has increased almost fivefold, from $52 billion to $243 billion in 2010. At the same time, green investments managed out of Ireland have been growing very rapidly and have doubled to $2.3 billion over the past two years. And these are managed funds we are talking about – not just funds which are administered here.”

Retirement Planning: dynamic wealth management

http://dynamicwmanagement.com/retirement.php

Nudged by the government and buffeted by the demographic reality of retirees often living into their 90's, corporations have been rapidly offloading the responsibility for retirement income to their employees. Fortunately, many different financial vehicles now exist to help investors meet their own retirement needs. New products seem to emerge each month; some are marketing gimmicks while others may be valuable financial tools.

At DWM, we have adopted a process that relies heavily on client input and participation in all phases of the retirement planning process. Although it is a systematic approach, it is also tailored to each client's requirements. Through a series of planned steps, we work with each client to define major life goals, prioritize them and test them under various market scenarios. We then build to a recommendation based upon ideal vs. acceptable goals and risk tolerance. Many retirement programs stop here. Ours continues to full implementation of the plan and periodic monitoring of its progress. Finally, we stay mindful of new goals or priorities that may cause alterations of the original program.

Dynamic Wealth Management Headlines: Killer typhoon brings more misery to Japan

http://dynamicwealthmanagementreports.com

TOKYO — Japan braced for more heavy rain and floods Monday as the death toll from the worst typhoon to hit the country in seven years climbed to 34. Rescuers searched for 55 others who remained missing, and tens of thousands of families struggled without power or telephone service.

Typhoon Talas, which was later downgraded to a tropical storm, lashed coastal areas with destructive winds and record-setting rains over the weekend before moving offshore into the Sea of Japan. Thousands were stranded as it washed out bridges, railways and roads. The destruction added more misery to a nation still reeling from a catastrophic earthquake and tsunami six months ago.

In one of his first acts in office, Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda — sworn in just one day before Talas made landfall — vowed the government would provide as much assistance as quickly as it could. His predecessor, Naoto Kan, was forced out in large part because of public anger over the response to the tsunami, which left nearly 21,000 people dead or missing and touched off the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl. “We will do everything we can to rescue people and search for the missing,” Noda said.

The typhoon was the worst to hit Japan since 2004, when 98 people were killed or reported missing. It caused most of its damage on the Kii peninsula in central Japan southwest of Tokyo and hundreds of miles (kilometers) from the country’s tsunami-ravaged northeastern coast. The Japan Meteorological Agency predicted more heavy rain Tuesday in northern and western Japan, where the already sodden ground caused fears of more mudslides and floods. The extent of damage from the typhoon was still emerging Monday.

Dynamic Wealth Management Headlines: HTC files another lawsuit against Apple

http://dynamicwealthmanagementreports.com/


The patent row between HTC Corp (???) and Apple Inc has escalated as the Taiwanese firm filed a new lawsuit against its archrival on claims that it violated HTC’s patents with iPhones, iPads, iPods and Mac computers.
HTC is seeking unspecified damages and a ban on the use of three patented technologies by Apple.
The Taiwanese firm, the world’s No. 5 smartphone brand, filed a complaint with the US International Trade Commission (ITC) and the US District Court of Delaware for patent infringements, the company said in a statement yesterday.
“We are taking this action against Apple to protect our intellectual property, our industry partners, and most importantly our customers that use HTC phones,” HTC general counsel Grace Lei (???) said in the statement. “This is the third case before the ITC in which Apple is infringing our intellectual property. Apple needs to stop its infringement of our patented inventions in its products.”


The patents at dispute cover a range of functionality in Apple’s Mac computers and mobile devices that are essential to the user experience, the statement said.
These include Wi-Fi capability that allows users to wirelessly network multiple devices at home, at work or in public; and processor communication technology that enables the seamless integration of a personal digital assistant and a cellular phone into a single device providing users with a true smartphone experience, it said.
HTC and Apple have tangled in a spate of lawsuits going back to March last year.
Apple filed its latest complaint against HTC with the ITC and District Court in Delaware last month in connection with five cases linked to the technology used in iPads and iPhones.
A few days later, the ITC gave an initial ruling on March last year’s case, finding that HTC had infringed upon two patents belonging to Apple — a verdict that HTC has said covered “two minor patents.”
The ITC will make a final ruling in December and HTC is expected to reach a settlement with Apple by then, or in the worse case face a ban to stop selling its smartphones in the US.
Apple has sued many rivals, including HTC and Samsung Electronics Co, over patent infringements in several countries. It has also been countersued by rivals.
HTC chief financial officer Winston Yung (???) said on Monday that the company has provisions set aside for the lawsuits.
He also reiterated CEO Peter Chou’s (???) views that the litigation was merely a “disturbance” on the company’s road to greater success, and that investors could be assured that HTC would not be put in a “dangerous situation.”
“We are fully prepared for any scenario,” Yung said.
