Global X Launches PureCap[SM] Product Suite to Provide Uncapped Sector ETF Exposure
NEW YORK, July 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Global X Management Company LLC ('Global X'), the New York-based provider of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), today announced the launch of its PureCapSM Suite, a new collection of five sector ETFs providing uncapped, pure market capitalization weighted exposure across the consumer discretionary, communication services, information technology, consumer staples and energy sectors.
The launch reflects heightened investor demand for refined sector allocation solutions, driven by growing concentration within five sectors which can impact funds due to regulatory weighting limits.
The PureCapSM ETFs apply implementation techniques, including representative sampling, attempting to mimic the index exposure without reducing exposure to leading companies within each sector. This approach may help investors capture the full potential of sectors where uncapped indexes may provide differentiated performance versus capped indexes.
'Investors often think they're getting true sector exposure, but traditional funds limit exposure to the largest companies causing investors' performance to potentially diverge from the true performance of the sector,' said Scott Helfstein, Head of Investment Strategy at Global X. Scott continued, 'these products provide investors a different way to gain sector exposure, aligning their portfolios with how markets have evolved and potentially capturing the upside of the largest stocks in the sector.'
The funds seek to capture sector leadership by aligning with the true weight of each sector's largest constituents while benefiting from the potential tax efficiency, liquidity and systematic rebalancing of an ETF.

The risks of corporate mergers and acquisitions
Bumi Armada Bhd and Petronas-linked MISC Bhd have mutually called off their proposed merger, ahead of the lapse of their memorandum of understanding on Aug 14. In a filing, MISC said its board was of the view that the proposed merger "would not fully achieve the intended strategic objectives" following evaluation and discussions. When announcing the proposal in November, the companies said the merger "will establish a Malaysian-based sector-focused entity which leverages the combined talent pool, project development and engineering capability, and know-how" of both firms Mergers and acquisitions Corporate mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are often portrayed as strategic moves that create synergies, improve efficiency, and enhance shareholder value. In theory, synergy implies that the combined value of two companies is greater than the sum of their parts. This can result from cost savings, increased market share, improved technology, or enhanced capabilities. However, in practice, M&As are not always synergistic. While some mergers do result in measurable benefits, many fail to deliver the promised value, and some even destroy it. The risks associated with M&A are numerous and complex, affecting financial performance, organisational culture, and strategic direction. Synergy: Myth or Reality? The idea of synergy is one of the primary justifications for M&A. There are generally two types of synergies companies aim for: cost synergies and revenue synergies. Cost synergies arise from eliminating redundancies, such as overlapping departments or operations, which leads to reduced expenses. Revenue synergies come from cross-selling products, expanding into new markets, or leveraging combined R&D. While these potential benefits are attractive, achieving them is far from guaranteed. Studies have shown that more than half of all M&A deals fail to deliver expected synergies. One of the main reasons is overestimation of benefits and underestimation of costs. Executives may become overly optimistic, miscalculating the challenges of integration or the real value of the target company. This leads to overpaying for the acquisition and realising too late that the expected gains are unattainable. Key Risks of Mergers and Acquisitions Cultural Misalignment One of the most underestimated risks in M&A is cultural incompatibility. Each company has its own set of values, communication styles, management practices, and workplace norms. When these differ significantly, integrating the two can be extremely difficult. A clash in corporate cultures can lead to employee dissatisfaction, increased turnover, and reduced productivity. For example, if a risk-taking startup is acquired by a conservative, bureaucratic corporation, innovation may stall, and key employees may leave. Integration Challenges The integration process involves aligning systems, processes, human resources, supply chains, and more. Failure to integrate effectively can lead to operational disruptions, delays, and customer dissatisfaction. Integration complexity increases with the size and geographic spread of the companies. IT systems, in particular, are often difficult to merge and can be a source of costly errors. Loss of Talent M&As can create uncertainty among employees, leading to fear of job losses, demotivation, or voluntary departures of key personnel. If critical leaders or innovators exit during or after the acquisition, the organisation can lose institutional knowledge and leadership, diminishing the long-term value of the deal. Regulatory and Legal Hurdles Mergers can attract the attention of regulatory bodies, especially in industries with limited competition. Antitrust investigations and approval processes can delay or even block a deal. Additionally, unforeseen legal liabilities from the target company, such as pending lawsuits or compliance issues, can negatively impact the acquirer post-merger. Financial Risk Many M&A deals are financed through debt. Over-leveraging can burden the newly combined entity with high interest payments and limited financial flexibility. If the anticipated revenue growth does not materialise, the company might struggle to meet its debt obligations, risking financial instability. Strategic Drift Companies often engage in acquisitions to pursue new strategic directions. However, if the acquisition does not align well with the company's core competencies, it may dilute focus and hinder overall performance. This is especially true when companies expand into unfamiliar industries or markets without adequate understanding. Market Reaction Investor sentiment can be unpredictable. If stakeholders perceive the acquisition as overpriced or strategically unsound, the acquiring company's stock price may fall. In some cases, the market reacts negatively even before synergies are evaluated, based purely on perception or scepticism. While mergers and acquisitions offer the potential for synergy and growth, they are not inherently beneficial or risk-free. The promise of synergy is often overhyped, while the risks—especially around cultural fit, integration, and financial strain—are downplayed. Successful M&A requires thorough due diligence, realistic assessments of value, and well-executed integration strategies. Companies that approach M&A with caution, transparency, and a clear strategic rationale are more likely to realise lasting benefits. However, without these, the likelihood of value destruction is high.

Private prison profits surge under Trump immigration crackdown
NEW YORK: One of America's largest private prison operators has capitalised on President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement policies through soaring profits and expanded detention facilities. Geo Group announced a $300 million share repurchase programme following a $29.1 million quarterly profit, reversing last year's $32.5 million loss. Revenue grew 4.8% to $636.2 million as the company added thousands of detention beds nationwide to meet ICE demand. Executive Chairman George Zoley acknowledged logistical hurdles in ICE's plan to hire 10,000 staff, calling it 'very expensive and very complicated.' The Florida-based firm expects four new facilities to generate $240 million annually when fully operational in 2026. Another 5,900 idle beds across six locations could produce $310 million yearly if utilised by immigration authorities. Zoley noted Republican-led states like Florida and Texas are cooperating to address ICE's projected need for 100,000 detention beds. Congress recently tripled ICE's four-year detention budget to $45 billion under Trump's fiscal package. CoreCivic, another major prison operator, also raised financial targets after quarterly profits more than doubled to $38.5 million. Geo Group shares closed 2.6% higher following the earnings report. - AFP
