BYD Group Becomes Global Automotive Partner of FC Internazionale Milano
The agreement includes a comprehensive collaboration between BYD and Inter, aimed at strengthening both brands' international presence and supporting joint growth strategies. BYD will provide approximately 70 vehicles to Inter's first-team players, coaching staff, and top management—offering access to the brand's latest innovations in electric and plug-in hybrid (DM-i) mobility.
'We are excited to collaborate with FC Internazionale Milano,' said Stella Li, Executive Vice President of BYD. 'Inter has a vast global fanbase, which aligns naturally with our brands, BYD and DENZA. Our organizations are inspired by passion, driven by innovation, and committed to investing in the talents of the future. I am confident we will explore exciting opportunities to shape this shared vision in the coming seasons.'
Giorgio Ricci, Chief Revenue Officer of Inter, echoed the enthusiasm. 'We are extremely pleased to announce this new partnership, which brings together two global groups united by a constant drive toward the future and a pursuit of excellence. We are proud that the Group, with its BYD and DENZA brands, has chosen Inter as the first football club to partner with. This is a testament to the growing appeal of our brand on a global scale. This partnership opens new opportunities for activations and international content that can engage fans and consumers worldwide. Together, we aim to develop innovative projects that will further position the Group as a benchmark in the global sustainable mobility landscape.'
A special Nerazzurri-themed edition of BYD's flagship model, the Sealion 7, will be the first vehicle made available to the club. This customized version will later be released in a limited edition for fans and collectors who want to combine their passion for Inter with state-of-the-art green mobility.
Fan engagement is also central to the initiative. BYD is preparing exclusive purchasing and leasing programs dedicated to Inter supporters around the world. Details will be unveiled in the coming weeks, promising fans the chance to enjoy a unique experience behind the wheel of BYD vehicles tied to their favorite club.
As BYD's premium brand DENZA prepares for its European debut, the partnership with Inter will serve as a cornerstone of the brand's launch strategy across key markets in the region.
This agreement further strengthens BYD's presence in the world of football, following its role as an official sponsor of UEFA Euro 2024 and the UEFA Under-21 Championship. The Inter partnership reflects the company's broader goal of using sport as a platform to connect with millions of fans globally and promote sustainable mobility on a large scale.

Is August the worst month to invest in European stocks?
European equities have entered what is historically the most challenging stretch of the calendar year, as August and September consistently deliver the weakest returns for the region's stock markets. Following a strong first half in 2025 and a slightly positive July, history suggests that the summer momentum in European equities often loses steam as August arrives. The month is typically defined by thinner trading volumes, greater market sensitivity to economic and geopolitical headlines, and a consistent pattern of higher volatility. August: The weakest month for European indices Analysis of the past three decades reveals a clear seasonal downturn in August. The EURO STOXX 50, Europe's blue-chip benchmark, has averaged a 1.66% decline during the month over the past 30 years, making it the worst-performing month of the year. It has ended August in positive territory only 43% of the time, and the broader STOXX Europe 600 tells a similar story. Over the past 24 years, this index has fallen by an average 0.7% in August, also with a 43% winning ratio. The most brutal August came in 1998, when the EURO STOXX 50 plunged 14.4%, followed closely by 2001's 13.79% loss. Country indices echo August's negative trend Zooming in on national markets, the pattern of August weakness is equally pronounced. This period is the weakest month for Germany's DAX, which posts an average decline of 2.2% and finishes in positive territory just 47% of the time. In France, the CAC 40 drops by 1.47% on average in August, narrowly ahead of September's 1.49% average fall, and sees only a 37% winning rate. Italy's FTSE MIB and Spain's IBEX 35 also see the negative sign, logging average August losses of 0.7% and 0.9%, respectively. German stocks: Some of the weakest August seasonality A group of Germany's blue chips consistently show downward August bias, with some of them marking it as their worst month of the year, both in terms of returns and win probability. According to TradingView data, some of the hardest-hit stocks include: • Thyssenkrupp AG leads the decline, tumbling an average 4.6% in August with a win rate of just 30%, meaning it has posted gains in only 9 of the past 30 years. • BMW AG averages a 4.1% loss in August with just a 37% win rate. Volkswagen AG, meanwhile, falls 3.3% and ends the month higher only 27% of the time — proof that even automakers aren't spared from late-summer volatility. • Deutsche Bank AG, Germany's largest lender, averages a 3.47% drop in August and matches Thyssenkrupp's 30% win ratio. • Utility giant SE and industrial titan Siemens AG also feel the seasonal drag, both slipping by nearly 2%, with win rates of 37% and 40%, respectively. • Deutsche Börse AG, operator of Germany's stock exchange, and consumer goods firm Beiersdorf AG both see their weakest performance in August, falling 1.72% and 1.66% on average, with win rates of 48% and 39%, respectively. Bottom line: August's seasonal slump hard to ignore With the EURO STOXX 50 and STOXX 600 up 8% and 7%, respectively, European equities have delivered a solid year-to-date performance. Much of this rebound has come on the back of a strong recovery from April's tariff-induced downturn, mirroring a broader global equity upswing. But history warns that August marks a persistent seasonal soft spot — particularly for Germany's corporate heavyweights, which tend to underperform more than their European peers. From broad indices to blue-chip stocks, the month shows a consistent pattern of lower returns, thinner liquidity, and heightened vulnerability to negative news flow. While no seasonal trend guarantees future performance, August remains, by many measures, the most challenging month for European investors. Sign in to access your portfolio

The launch of PCL0 epitomizes the philosophy of applying our deep global credit expertise and experience to innovative, investor-driven product solutions tailored to meet the rising institutional demand for this asset class around the world Share 'The launch of PCL0 epitomizes the philosophy of applying our deep global credit expertise and experience to innovative, investor-driven product solutions tailored to meet the rising institutional demand for this asset class around the world,' said Angie Long, Chief Investment Officer and Portfolio Manager at Palmer Square. Palmer Square Founder and CEO, Chris Long, added, 'As the newest addition to our global line-up of investment solutions, PCL0 is the first in a series of European Palmer Square ETFs providing high-quality exposure to cycle-resilient senior CLO debt, further extending global access to our recognized track record, while highlighting our distinct positioning and leadership in global credit markets.'

Designed to provide institutional investors with a transparent, rules-based, high-quality benchmark for Euro-denominated CLO senior debt, ECLOSE serves as one of the cornerstones for Palmer Square's expansion into the European ETF market. 'Our ETFs are designed to simplify portfolio construction while facilitating a superior way of gaining market exposure to the senior debt tranches of Euro-denominated CLOs,' said Taylor Moore, Managing Director and Portfolio Manager at Palmer Square. 'PCL0 will enable institutional investors to efficiently allocate to the universe of AAA and AA European CLO debt and achieve optimal market exposure with ease.' Jeremy Goff, Managing Director at Palmer Square, noted, 'As the first and only passive UCITS CLO ETF tracking the performance characteristics of our ECLOSE index, PCL0 provides European institutional investors with an innovative and unique tool for accessing and allocating capital to this market.' Palmer Square was the #1 European CLO issuer 1 from 2022 through 2024, reinforcing its position at the forefront of European structured credit. The firm pioneered the first globally distributed CLO indices over a decade ago, including the U.S.-focused Palmer Square CLO Senior Debt Index (CLOSE) and CLO Debt Index (CLODI). Building on this legacy, the launch of PCL0 marks the next step in bringing Palmer Square's approach and expertise to institutional investors across Europe.
