The fund predominantly runs with an absolute return thought process rather than a benchmark-centric one. The fund diversifies to the hilt to mitigate risk, with over 180 bets. With tiny individual positions, even the fund's top 10 stocks constitute less than 20% of the portfolio. In its short running time so far, the fund has built an impressive track record, but much of its sharp outperformance is owing to outsized gains in 2023 and 2024. The fund could be a worthy bet if it can deliver consistently going forward.

Wall Street on edge this week: Will Nvidia's earnings revive markets or fuel chaos amid soaring U.S. Debt?
The upcoming week on Wall Street is poised to revolve around a pivotal earnings announcement from Nvidia, the global semiconductor leader, even as investors remain wary of ballooning U.S. debt and surging Treasury yields that have rattled broader market sentiment. Nvidia Earnings in Spotlight The focus will squarely be on Nvidia, with its quarterly earnings scheduled for release on Wednesday. As the last of the so-called 'Magnificent Seven' technology giants to report this cycle, the chipmaker's performance is being closely watched due to its outsized role in the artificial intelligence (AI) boom. "All eyes are going to be on Nvidia's report," said Chuck Carlson, Chief Executive Officer at Horizon Investment Services, as quoted in a report by Reuters.

Analyst projections compiled by LSEG estimate Nvidia's first-quarter earnings to have surged by around 45%, with revenue expected to touch $43.2 billion. Live Events The company's financial health is being seen not only as a reflection of AI momentum but also as a bellwether for broader investor sentiment. Market Pressure from Debt, Yields While tech earnings draw investor attention, economic undercurrents linked to government spending and debt are beginning to take center stage. The U.S. share market retreated this week amid heightened concern over fiscal policy. The yield on the 30-year Treasury note breached the 5% mark, its highest level since 2023, signaling investor anxiety over federal borrowing. The U.S. House of Representatives, now under Republican control, recently passed a major tax and spending bill in line with President Donald Trump's economic agenda. The proposed legislation could expand federal debt by approximately $3.8 trillion over the next decade. This development contributed to a downgrade of the U.S. sovereign credit rating by Moody's. "From an investment perspective, higher interest rates now represent more competition for equities," noted Carlson. "If this trend persists, we could see more pressure on stock valuations." Trump's Trade Posture Adds to Volatility Markets were further unsettled on Friday after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to levy a 50% tariff on European Union imports beginning June 1. He also warned of a potential 25% tariff on Apple if iPhones sold in the U.S. are not manufactured domestically. These remarks sparked renewed concerns over trade tensions and their impact on global supply chains. Nvidia could be particularly affected, with the company already having taken a $5.5 billion charge in anticipation of lost revenue following Washington's ban on exporting its H20 AI chip to China. Outlook and Investor Sentiment Despite a strong rally earlier in the year, the S&P 500 is now down over 5.6% from its record high in February and 1.3% lower for 2025 overall. Still, Nvidia's earnings report is widely viewed as a potential catalyst. 'If Nvidia delivers strong numbers and guidance, it could reignite optimism around AI investments,' said Art Hogan, Chief Market Strategist at B Riley Wealth. As such, this week's developments are set to offer critical signals for the direction of the US share market, with Nvidia's results at the core of investor expectations. FAQs Why is Nvidia's earnings report significant this week? Nvidia is set to release its quarterly earnings on Wednesday, and as the last of the 'Magnificent Seven' tech giants to report, its results are seen as a key indicator of both AI sector momentum and broader market sentiment. What are analysts expecting from Nvidia's earnings? Analysts estimate that Nvidia's earnings have jumped by about 45%, with revenue expected to reach around $43.2 billion, driven largely by its central role in the artificial intelligence boom.

Is it a superpower? Woman's nose detected a disease 12 years before doctors could. Know the science behind it
A retired nurse from Scotland, Joy Milne, has played a crucial role in advancing research on Parkinson's disease diagnosis, thanks to her extraordinary sense of smell. Milne noticed an unusual change in her husband Les's body odor more than a decade before he was formally diagnosed with Parkinson's. What initially seemed like a personal quirk has since become the foundation for a new medical test that could potentially identify Parkinson's years before symptoms appear. Milne first detected the distinctive scent in 1982, shortly before Les turned 32. Recalling the moment to The Guardian, she said it was a 'musky, dank odour' that wasn't part of his usual scent. At the time, she attributed it to his job in the operating theatre and even encouraged him to shower more frequently, which led to disagreements between the couple. However, the odor persisted. It wasn't until years later, when Les was officially diagnosed with Parkinson's, that Milne realized the connection. During a visit to a Parkinson's support group, she noticed the same smell emanating from other patients. That moment confirmed her suspicion that the scent might be linked to the disease.

She began collaborating with scientists at the University of Manchester, offering her assistance in identifying the smell through swabs and clothing samples from Parkinson's patients. 'Les and I should have been enjoying retirement, but Parkinson's had stolen our lives,' she said. 'We became determined that others wouldn't suffer the same way. When Les died... he made me promise I'd carry on.' Milne's involvement has directly influenced a new diagnostic method that uses a simple cotton swab to detect Parkinson's. The swab is rubbed along the back of a person's neck—an area with consistent sebum production—and analyzed for specific compounds. The Science Behind the Scent Researchers discovered that sebum, an oily substance produced by the skin, contains unique chemical markers in people with Parkinson's. By using mass spectrometry, the team analyzed samples from 79 Parkinson's patients and 71 healthy individuals. Out of approximately 4,000 compounds, 500 showed significant differences between the two groups. Professor Perdita Barran, who led the study, said the current version of the test is 95 percent accurate under laboratory conditions. The next phase involves adapting the test for clinical settings, with hopes of rolling it out in the NHS in the near future. 'At the moment we have developed it in a research lab and we are now working with colleagues in hospital analytical labs,' Barran said. 'We are hoping within two years to be able to start to test people in the Manchester area.' A Test with Life-Changing Potential Milne has often reflected on how an earlier diagnosis could have changed her family's life. 'We would have spent more time with family. We would have travelled more,' she said. She also believes an earlier understanding might have clarified behavioral changes in Les, including mood swings and depression. The test, still in development, represents a major step toward early detection of Parkinson's—a condition currently diagnosed only through clinical evaluation of symptoms and medical history. Thanks to one woman's rare sensitivity, the path to earlier diagnosis—and potentially improved outcomes—is becoming more attainable.
