Asia Equity ETF (AIA) Hits New 52-Week High
For investors seeking momentum, iShares Asia 50 ETF AIA is probably on the radar. The fund just hit a 52-week high and is up 35.11% from its 52-week low price of $59.33/share. But are more gains in store for this ETF? Let's take a quick look at the fund and the near-term outlook on it to get a better idea of where it might be headed: The underlying S&P Asia 50 Index is a total float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the 50 leading companies listed in four Asian countries or regions, namely, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan. The product charges 50 bps in annual fees (See: All Asia-Pacific (Developed) ETFs). Asian markets have been an area to watch lately, driven by easing trade tensions. Washington and Beijing resuming trade talks in London is a key tailwind. Asian markets traded higher after China and the United States announced that they had agreed on a framework to build on the trade truce reached in Geneva last month. Currently, AIA has a Zacks ETF Rank #3 (Hold), with a Medium risk outlook. However, it might continue its strong performance in the near term, with a positive weighted alpha of 24.10 (as of which gives cues of a further rally.

Seattle buildings take home national design honors
Seattle landed several major wins in this year's top national architecture awards, spotlighting the city's growing reputation for buildings that are visually striking and thoughtfully designed. Driving the news: The American Institute of Architects announced the winners of its 2025 national awards on June 5, recognizing standout projects in architecture and sustainable design across the country. State of play: Colman Dock was named one of the best works of contemporary architecture in the country. In its announcement, the AIA called the Seattle Ferry Terminal — designed by Seattle-based architecture firm NBBJ — a model for civic architecture and praised its mix of public space, tribal recognition, and multimodal infrastructure. Go deeper: Three other local projects earned spots on the AIA's COTE Top Ten, the profession's highest honor for sustainable design: The Bush School New Upper School, by Mithun — is the nation's first Salmon Safe school and the largest Passive House certified campus in the Western U.S., per AIA. Wagner Education Center at the Center for Wooden Boats, by Olson Kundig, features manually adjusted vents and windows that allow human hands to control the building's airflow. Founders Hall Plus: The Center for Behavioral Health and Learning at UW Medicine, designed by SRG + CannonDesign, earned an AIA Healthcare Design Award.

Cancer research foundation to start seeding startups
Andy Rachleff is funding startups again, more than two decades after stepping down as a founding partner of legendary venture capital firm Benchmark. Why it matters: His new mission is curing cancers instead of generating profits for limited partners. Driving the news: Rachleff tells Axios that he's spearheading a new investment program for the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation, where he chairs the board. It's called InVEST and will automatically provide $50,000 equity checks to any Damon Runyon-sponsored scientists who secure at least $500,000 in seed funding for their startups. For the scientists, it's a way to prove to venture firms that they're "fundable." For Damon Runyan, it's a way to create a philanthropic flywheel — as its alumni have founded such companies as Moderna, Juno Therapeutics, Beam Therapeutics, and Arbor Biotechnologies. Zoom in: Damon Runyan focuses exclusively on young scientists, or at least scientists who are relatively early in their careers. Rachleff and CEO Yung Lie argue that most major scientific breakthroughs come from this cohort, but that most funding goes to older colleagues. "The average age where people get their first individual NIH grant is over 40, but the average age of a Nobel Laureate in medicine is just 36 at the time they conceive of their breakthrough," Rachelff explains. By the numbers: Damon Runyan backs around 70 new scientists per year, has 1,400 alumni, and spins out between 10 and 20 startups per year. It had initially considered creating some sort of investment program whereby the startups would pay royalties but decided that could impede growth. All investments will come from the foundation's endowment.
