Nrep and Slate Asset Management Enter Agreement on Essential Real Estate Portfolio in Denmark
OneIM is Slate's capital partner in the transaction, which is the first for Slate and OneIM's joint venture. The joint venture is actively targeting further acquisitions across the European essential retail sector. The acquisition marks Slate's first investment in Denmark and further increases the Firm's portfolio of high-quality essential real estate assets in Europe.
All of the properties in the portfolio are in dense residential areas (Holte Midtpunkt, Lyngby Stationscenter, Frihedens Butikscenter, Vallensbæk Stationstorv Syd, and Taastrup Torv) and near the city's five major transportation corridors. During its ownership, Nrep led a comprehensive repositioning of the properties, transforming them into vibrant urban hubs with best-in-class sustainability credentials. Customer footfall has increased due to the addition of new tenants, including unique concept stores, diverse food and beverage offerings, and medical clinics. The introduction of new concepts and general renovations have also contributed to more efficient customer and tenant journeys, boosting turnover and activity in the surrounding areas.
Today, the properties in the portfolio are let to leading regional grocers as well as some of Europe's largest and best-performing retail chains. The portfolio is well-occupied, with immediate upside potential through leasing of remaining vacancies and continued active management of the portfolio.
'We are pleased to be scaling our presence in the Nordics with this strategic acquisition in Denmark,' said Sven Vollenbruch, Managing Director at Slate. 'We have great conviction in the tailwinds driving growth in the Danish market, which has consistently outperformed the broader Eurozone across a number of key macroeconomic indicators. This portfolio presents an attractive entry point for us in this market given it is anchored by leading essential goods tenants – many of whom we already have well-established relationships with – and presents meaningful opportunities to unlock additional value through active, hands-on asset management.'
'This transaction epitomises our investment strategy,' said Thomas Riise-Jakobsen, partner and country manager for Denmark at Nrep. 'The properties are in attractive locations with reliable occupancy and offer significant ESG potential. They sit at the intersection of best-in-class development and the green transition, which is Nrep's absolute sweet spot. We are proud of the work we have done to enhance the portfolio - renovating, repositioning and elevating the centers and their surrounding communities - while delivering strong returns to our investors. With Slate Asset Management taking over, I have no doubt they will capitalise on the progress to date to elevate the properties further.'
Josh Cleveland, Partner and Head of EMEA at SRE added: 'Nrep has been an important partner of ours in the Nordics and the opportunity to form a continuation vehicle with them to invest in these strong necessity-based retail and residential assets was an attractive investment opportunity for us.'
Nrep has continuously renovated and upgraded the individual properties while strengthening the tenant mix. The projects have included local planning initiatives and the potential for 100 new residential units at Taastrup Torv. In Vallensbæk and Friheden alone, over 16,000 square meters of residential space have been created.
Slate maintains a distinct focus on essential real estate, concentrating on the acquisition, ownership, and operation of assets vital to daily life, including grocery, necessity-based retail centers, and the logistics infrastructure that supports the distribution of food and other non-discretionary goods. Since entering the European market in 2016, Slate has been an active investor, completing transactions on more than 1,000 commercial properties across eight countries.
Schjødt, Thylander, COWI, and PwC supported Slate in the transaction, while CBRE, Bruun & Hjejle, and Deloitte advised Nrep.

E-Bike Mid Motors Revolutionize Urban and Recreational Commuting with Efficiency, Power, and Sustainability
As the world accelerates toward sustainable transportation, E-Bike mid-drive motors are becoming the technology of choice for both urban commuters and off-road cycling enthusiasts. These innovative motors, integrated at the crankshaft of electric bicycles, offer a superior blend of power distribution, efficiency, and riding experience, signaling a major shift in how consumers perceive and utilize electric mobility. Mid Motors: The Heart of Next-Gen E-Bikes Unlike traditional hub motors, mid-drive motors are mounted centrally at the bike's crank, directly turning the chain and enabling optimal torque transfer. This allows the motor to leverage the bike's gears, offering superior climbing ability, battery efficiency, and a more natural riding experience. Industry leaders such as Bosch, Shimano, Brose, and BAFANG have spearheaded this innovation. Shimano's EP8 series, for instance, delivers up to 85Nm of torque and weighs just 2.6kg, supporting everything from city bikes to rugged e-MTBs. BAFANG's M620 motor, known for its high torque of 160Nm, is especially favored for cargo and fat tire bikes. Environmental and Economic Advantages Mid motors play a crucial role in making e-bikes more energy-efficient. Because they use the bike's gearing system, riders can climb hills with less battery drain. This efficiency translates to lower electricity consumption and a reduced environmental footprint. Moreover, the increasing adoption of e-bikes with mid motors is supporting green initiatives in urban centers. In cities like Amsterdam and Copenhagen, where cycling infrastructure is robust, mid-motor e-bikes are often used in lieu of cars. In India, metropolitan regions like Bengaluru and Pune have seen the rise of e-bike sharing services such as Yulu and Bounce Infinity, which are gradually incorporating mid-motor-powered bikes to meet demand for higher performance and durability. Mid Motors and Smart Commuting Integration As smart cities expand, e-bike systems with mid motors are being integrated with IoT and AI for enhanced rider control. Bosch's Smart System, launched in late 2023, integrates GPS tracking, theft protection, fitness data, and remote diagnostics, creating a seamless smart mobility experience. These integrations are expected to appeal to tech-savvy riders, fleet operators, and municipalities alike. Additionally, European countries and states like California are offering subsidies for e-bikes with mid motors, promoting eco-friendly transportation. In Germany, the government provides up to €1,500 in grants for residents purchasing premium mid-motor e-bikes for commuting. According to some reports, due to e bike government subsidy in Germany, there are more than 4.6 million ebikes presently riding across the country. In the U.S., the E-BIKE Act, reintroduced in 2024, proposes a 30% tax credit up to $1,500 for e-bike purchases, giving a significant push to mid-drive adoption. Challenges and Market Opportunities E-bikes equipped with mid-drive motors are generally more expensive because their centrally positioned motors need to be integrated into the bike's mechanics, often requiring custom frame modifications. This central placement also creates a higher-torque system that can place additional stress on the frame, potentially shortening its lifespan. Additionally, maintenance tends to be more complex and costly due to the motor's intricate design and its close interaction with the chain and gears. New entrants from Asia, especially China and Taiwan, are also entering the premium mid-drive segment. Companies such as TQ-Systems and Ananda Drive System are developing lighter, quieter, and more affordable mid motors to compete with Western brands, making the technology accessible to a broader consumer base. Future Outlook: Mid Motors at the Center of E-Mobility The demand for mid-drive motors is anticipated to surge across both developing and developed markets. With more governments pushing for carbon neutrality, and consumers valuing both performance and sustainability, mid motors are likely to dominate e-bike innovation. In conclusion, E-Bike mid motors are not just a technical upgrade they represent a pivotal transformation in the transportation ecosystem. As cities evolve, infrastructure modernizes, and climate goals intensify, mid motors will be at the forefront of enabling efficient, powerful, and sustainable mobility for all.

Stocks are tanking on Trump's latest tariff announcements
US stocks deepened losses on Monday after Trump announced 25% tariffs on Japan and South Korea. In letters published on Truth Social, Trump said he would impose a 25% duty on goods from those countries. Major indexes tumbled, with several auto and semiconductor stocks taking a hit. US stocks dropped sharply on Monday after President Donald Trump gave an upage on trade war. Major benchmark indexes fell shortly after the president said in a post on social media that the US would impost 25% tariffs on goods from Japan and South Korea. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped over 500 points, while the Nasdaq and the benchmark S&P 500 were both down by about 1%. S&P 500: 6,225.21, down 0.86% Dow Jones Industrial Average: 44,342.70, down 1.13% (-507.81 points) Nasdaq composite: 20,403.46, down 0.96% Trump announced the latest tariffs on Truth Social, publishing letters he sent to Lee Jae-myung, the president of South Korea. The letters came several hours after he threatened to impose an additional 10% tariff on nations aligning themselves with policies of the BRICS bloc. "Please understand that the 25% number is far less than what is needed to eliminate the Trade Deficit disparity we have with your Country," Trump wrote, later adding that if Japan or Korea were to impose retaliatory tariffs, the amount of those tariffs would be tacked on to the US's 25% import duty. "These Tariffs may be modified, upward or downward, depending on our relationship with your Country. You will never be disappointed with the United States of America," Trump added. The president also pushed out the US's deadline to enforce his original Liberation Day tariffs to August 9, and said more "UNITED STATES TARIFF Letters, and/or Deals, with various countries around the World," would be delivered in the afternoon. Shares of automakers and tech hardware firms saw losses that outpaced those of the broader market. Here were some other big moves in afternoon trading: Toyota Motor Corporation (TM): -3.92% Honda Motor Co. (HMC): -3.72% Advanced Micro Devices (AMD): -2.12% Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) -2.41% The developments are sparking more concern that Trump's tariffs could end up at a higher level than initially thought, despite agreements struck with China, the UK, and Vietnam. "Markets are tilting to a risk-off posture as participants brace for the chance of Trump tariff-sparked turbulence in the coming hours and days," José Torres, a senior economist at Interactive Brokers, wrote in a note. Prior to the tariff letters being released, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent signaled that the US would announce more trade deals over the next 48 hours. "It's going to be a very busy couple of days," Bessent told CNBC on Monday, adding that his mailbox had been filled with new offers from other countries. "It's just, 'Thank you for wanting to trade with the United States of America. We welcome you as a trading partner. And here's the rate, unless you want to come back and try to negotiate,'" he added.

The charts show a tech breakout that can continue over the next 6-12 months, says Katie Stockton
The Invesco QQQ ETF , which provides a way to invest in the Nasdaq-100 Index, confirmed a breakout to new all-time highs with last week's close above the December and February peaks (~$539). The breakout is associated with renewed long-term momentum indicated by a whipsaw in the monthly MACD, marking a resumption of a multi-year secular uptrend. The breakout allows for a measured move projection of $602, which is approximately 9% above current levels as a reasonable objective looking out six-to-12 months. Since the April low, QQQ has outpaced SPY by approximately 7%, fueled by its heavier weighting in technology stocks that have led the recent rally. The ratio of QQQ to SPY is deeply overbought and has resistance intact from the 2021 peak, defining a neutral long-term trading range between the two U.S. equity market proxies. This suggests there will be a short-term moderation in outperformance from QQQ and large-cap technology stocks. But large-cap technology stocks look overdone as a group per the DeMark Indicators. Roughly a third of S & P 500 tech sector member have flashed short-term exhaustive "sell" signals from either the TD Sequential or TD Combo models within the past week. These signals support a two-week correction for the technology sector, and therein also QQQ. Pullbacks or consolidation phases tend to follow breakouts since they are often associated with overbought conditions and overly bullish sentiment. So, rather than chasing steep rallies, we find it is best to wait for excesses to be absorbed via a short-term counter-trend pullback before adding new exposure. For QQQ, we would be interested in a lower risk entry closer to support, potentially from June's gap which would be filled at $532. —Katie Stockton with Will Tamplin Access research from Fairlead Strategies for free here .
