Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:06:33 GMT

LONDON — “A grand don’t come for free,” as the Streets famously sang. But if Chancellor Jeremy Hunt gets his way, young U.K. workers could earn an extra £1,000 a year when they retire, the Treasury claims.At London’s Mansion House this evening Hunt outlined plans to boost pension fund investment in U.K. tech companies, with the biggest funds committing to put 5 percent of schemes into unlisted shares.Detailing in the annual speech how he wants to create the “world’s next Silicon Valley,” Hunt said the U.K. was in a “perverse” situation where British investors were investing less in the country’s high-growth companies than international pensioners.To reverse that, he outlined the “Mansion House Compact” which commits nine of the biggest defined contribution schemes to invest at least 5 percent of their funds into unlisted equities by 2030.That could unlock £50 billion of investment into high-growth companies, the chancellor said.The Treasury claimed the package of reforms could help ...

Two mothers in Massachusetts are on a mission, starting their own adaptive clothing company, for people with disabilities and those recovering from injuries or surgeries. Called “befree,” the company is based in Swampscott. Co-founders Nikki Puzzo and Joane DiCamillo recently spoke to 7NEWS.“We like to say ‘Dress with less stress,’ because we want everyone to not be stressed about the basic tasks that people can take for granted when getting dressed,” DiCamillo said. Puzzo said the idea for the company came from the experience of trying to dress her youngest daughter, Stella. Stella was born with spastic quadriplegia cerebral palsy and underwent a double-hip surgery at the age of five. For three months, Stella had to wear casts on both her legs with a bar in between, making the process of putting on pants extremely difficult. “They were like ‘Well a lot of families just do dresses, t-shirts, and blankets,’” Puzzo said. That’s whe...
