Fidelity rolls out five thematic ETFs in Europe – ETF Strategy

September 7, 2022 | Author: admin

Fidelity International has introduced a suite of five thematic equity ETFs in Europe targeting the emerging technology themes of clean energy, electric vehicles & future transportation, cloud computing, digital health, and the metaverse.

Fidelity has launched its first thematic equity ETFs in Europe.

The funds are linked to indices developed in-house by Fidelitys quantitative research and investment team.

Each index covers a broad global universe consisting of stocks from across the market capitalization spectrum while using a combination of company revenue data and natural language processing (NLP) to select companies best aligned with the underlying theme.

NLP is used to analyze text-based documents to identify companies with relevant keywords associated with business activities linked to a specific theme. Stocks are then assigned a thematic relevancy score and those with the highest scores are selected for inclusion in the index.

Companies must typically generate at least 50% of their total revenue from business activities relevant to the theme to be eligible for inclusion.

Each index also includes an environmental, social, and governance (ESG) screen which, according to Fidelity, results in at least 50% of each indexs underlying constituents having sustainable characteristics. As such, each ETF is classified as an Article 8 product under the European Unions Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR).

Commenting on the new listings, Nick King, Head of ETFs at Fidelity International, said: Thematic investing seeks to identify and capitalize on long-term, structural trends by investing across countries and sectors to capture transformative drivers of the global economy, businesses, and society. Many of these themes have an enhanced focus on sustainability as well as seeking to address specific social and environmental challenges.

Our thematic indices have been constructed through a collaboration of our proprietary fundamental, sustainable, and quantitative research capabilities to ensure that we are providing clients with exposure to the best stocks in each particular theme.

The ETFs have been listed across Europe including on London Stock Exchange, Deutsche Brse Xetra, and SIX Swiss Exchange, with a further listing on Borsa Italiana expected in the near future.

Each fund comes with an expense ratio of 0.50%.

The ETFs

The Fidelity Clean Energy UCITS ETF (FRNG) tracks the Fidelity Clean Energy ESG Tilted Index. The index reflects the performance of companies that distribute, produce or provide technology or equipment to support the production of energy from solar, wind, hydrogen, and other renewable sources.

The Fidelity Electric Vehicles and Future Transportation UCITS ETF (FDRV) tracks the Fidelity Electric Vehicles and Future Transportation ESG Tilted Index. The index reflects the performance of companies engaged in the production of electric or autonomous vehicles and their components, as well as firms developing technologies or energy systems that aim to change the future of transportation.

The Fidelity Cloud Computing UCITS ETF (FCLD) tracks the Fidelity Cloud Computing ESG Tilted Index. The index reflects the performance of companies that provide products or services enabling the increased adoption of cloud computing, characterized by the delivery of computing services over the internet.

The Fidelity Digital Health UCITS ETF (FDHC) tracks the Fidelity Digital Health ESG Tilted Index. The index reflects the performance of companies providing healthcare records management, connected healthcare devices, surgical robotics, telemedicine, and other technology-enabled healthcare products and services.

The Fidelity Metaverse UCITS ETF (FMTV) tracks the Fidelity Metaverse ESG Tilted Index. The index reflects the performance of companies that develop, manufacture, distribute, and sell products or services related to establishing and enabling the metaverse.

Digerati moving to Nasdaq from OTC in merger deal with blank-check acquisition firm – San Antonio Express-News

September 7, 2022 | Author: admin

The San Antonio cloud computing companys CEO said the move from the OTC market would enable it to speed up its strategy of growth through mergers and acquisitions.

It provides us with the currency of a primary stock exchange; we really havent had the benefit of that historically, being on the OTC market, Digerati CEO Arthur L. Smith said Tuesday. We could have taken an alternative avenue to uplist, but this was a better economic path for the company and its shareholders.

The all-stock transaction will give the combined company an estimated initial equity value of $228 million, the companies said. Its expected to close in the fourth quarter.

On ExpressNews.com: San Antonios Digerati Technologies swings from loss to a profit on record revenue

Other details:

Digerati management will remain in place.

Its current board will remain, with two new directors: one additional director to be appointed and Shawn Rochester, CEO of Minority Equality Opportunities Acquisition, joining when the transaction closes.

Smith said Digerati would become a subsidiary of Minority Equality Opportunities Acquisition. Existing Digerati shareholders will receive 100 percent of their equity in the new company.

In its simplest form, this transaction can be viewed as Digerati acquiring a Nasdaq vehicle for purposes of listing on Nasdaq, Smith said.

Smith said he was introduced to Minority Equality Opportunities Acquisition Inc. by Maxim Group, a New York-based investment banking firm.

The Waxahachie company was founded last year and went public in August 2021. It calls itself the first minority-led special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, to list on Nasdaq with the mission of executing a business combination with a minority owned, led or founded business.

A SPAC raises money through an initial public offering to find an existing company that can benefit from more capital and merging with it. Theyre also known as blank-check companies.

It was unclear whether the combined companies will trade under the Digerati name.

Digerati was born in 1994 as ATSI Communications Inc., an international telecommunications operator that served markets in Latin America. Two years later, it launched GlobalSCAPE Inc., an internet software company that was acquired in 2020 by HelpSystems, a Minnesota-based software firm.

Long an earnings laggard, Digerati attributed recent record-breaking revenue growth to its acquisitions of SkyNet Telecom in December and NextLevel Internet in February. In the three months ended April 30, the company swung to a profit as revenue jumped 118 percent to $8.2 million.

On ExpressNews.com: San Antonio-based Digerati Technologies acquires SkyNet Telecom

Those acquisitions were only the latest. In June 2021, it entered a partnership with Sandler Partners, a fast-growing business communications firm headquartered in Redondo Beach, Calif. In November 2020, it acquired two Florida business communication firms, Nexogy and ActivePBX.

Digerati said its business grew through the pandemic as demand from small businesses for its cloud computing and communication services increased. Its customer count was 3,963 as of April 30, up from 2,612 a year earlier.

In a statement, Minority Equality Opportunities Acquisition said it had been searching for historically undercapitalized minority business enterprises for mergers and acquisitions.

Smith, who identifies as Latino, was born in McAllen and has lived in San Antonio since 1988. About half of the employees at Digerati are members of a minority growth, with 45 percent being Latino.

We did this because of the economic benefits and to fulfill a key corporate goal of listing on Nasdaq, Smith said. And of course, it gives us access to capital. It did fulfill the mission for MEOA. It was a good fit.

The merger news gave Digerati shares a lift. They gained nearly 16 percent Tuesday to close at nearly 13 cents. That put its market capitalization at $17.84 million.

Shares in Minority Equality Opportunities Acquisition fell slightly to close at $10.12. Its market cap slipped to $161.62 million.

UM-Flint computer science professor awarded NSF grant – University of Michigan-Flint

September 7, 2022 | Author: admin

After several years of submitting proposals, Mark Allison, an associate professor of computer science at the University of Michigan-Flint's College of Innovation & Technology, has secured a research grant through the National Science Foundation. The grant will aid his work in the design of AI strategies and structures to support a leadership framework for dissimilar robots cooperating in very large teams.

"Leadership roles and hierarchies are not uniquely human. They emerge in nature when animals coordinate in groups toward a common goal," said Allison. This project draws inspiration from these systems to provide resilient real-time learning and optimization within multi-robot missions.

Allison says that the intention is to extend funding for this research and continue support for student research into additional robotic infrastructure. The grant awarded for Allison's proposal was approximately $600,000 split between six partner institutions.

Each year, tens of thousands of proposals are submitted to the NSF, but less than 25% receive funding. The NSF is the only federal agency supporting all fields of fundamental science and engineering outside of the medical sciences.

The institutions receiving this grant worked in collaboration with Allison, each bringing different areas of expertise, including cybersecurity, edge computing, and robotics and autonomous systems, the latter of which is Allison's area of expertise. The funds will go toward student research and projects, new software and hardware, and robotics equipment, and will be dispersed during a three-year span.

Allison also worked in partnership with the American Society for Engineering Education to receive initial funding for the preliminary work that needed to be done to procure the NSF grant. Some of this work included a three-part virtual research series to help acclimate students to the type of research work that Allison plans to complete utilizing NSF funding.

These virtual presentations included:

"Computer science is a huge field and you can't be an expert in everything," said Allison. "It's important to bring other perspectives and expertise into this research."

Allison added that the connections and collaboration that occur between institutions as part of this research are important for CIT students because it opens a window into other areas of expertise and builds partnerships for future research. He is confident that opportunities like this will draw high-quality students in the areas of computer science and engineering, making CIT a sought-after learning destination for technology students.

"What I'm trying to do is build and encourage a culture of research, and hopefully this funding will help move that initiative forward," he said.

Analyzing the potential of AlphaFold in drug discovery – MIT News

September 7, 2022 | Author: admin

Over the past few decades, very few new antibiotics have been developed, largely because current methods for screening potential drugs are prohibitively expensive and time-consuming. One promising new strategy is to use computational models, which offer a potentially faster and cheaper way to identify new drugs.

A new study from MIT reveals the potential and limitations of one such computational approach. Using protein structures generated by an artificial intelligence program called AlphaFold, the researchers explored whether existing models could accurately predict the interactions between bacterial proteins and antibacterial compounds. If so, then researchers could begin to use this type of modeling to do large-scale screens for new compounds that target previously untargeted proteins. This would enable the development of antibiotics with unprecedented mechanisms of action, a task essential to addressing the antibiotic resistance crisis.

However, the researchers, led by James Collins, the Termeer Professor of Medical Engineering and Science in MITs Institute for Medical Engineering and Science (IMES) and Department of Biological Engineering, found that these existing models did not perform well for this purpose. In fact, their predictions performed little better than chance.

Breakthroughs such as AlphaFold are expanding the possibilities for in silico drug discovery efforts, but these developments need to be coupled with additional advances in other aspects of modeling that are part of drug discovery efforts, Collins says. Our study speaks to both the current abilities and the current limitations of computational platforms for drug discovery.

In their new study, the researchers were able to improve the performance of these types of models, known as molecular docking simulations, by applying machine-learning techniques to refine the results. However, more improvement will be necessary to fully take advantage of the protein structures provided by AlphaFold, the researchers say.

Collins is the senior author of the study, which appears today in the journal Molecular Systems Biology. MIT postdocs Felix Wong and Aarti Krishnan are the lead authors of the paper.

Molecular interactions

The new study is part of an effort recently launched by Collins lab called the Antibiotics-AI Project, which has the goal of using artificial intelligence to discover and design new antibiotics.

AlphaFold, an AI software developed by DeepMind and Google, has accurately predicted protein structures from their amino acid sequences. This technology has generated excitement among researchers looking for new antibiotics, who hope that they could use the AlphaFold structures to find drugs that bind to specific bacterial proteins.

To test the feasibility of this strategy, Collins and his students decided to study the interactions of 296 essential proteins from E. coli with 218 antibacterial compounds, including antibiotics such as tetracyclines.

The researchers analyzed how these compounds interact with E. coli proteins using molecular docking simulations, which predict how strongly two molecules will bind together based on their shapes and physical properties.

This kind of simulation has been successfully used in studies that screen large numbers of compounds against a single protein target, to identify compounds that bind the best. But in this case, where the researchers were trying to screen many compounds against many potential targets, the predictions turned out to be much less accurate.

By comparing the predictions produced by the model with actual interactions for 12 essential proteins, obtained from lab experiments, the researchers found that the model had false positive rates similar to true positive rates. That suggests that the model was unable to consistently identify true interactions between existing drugs and their targets.

Using a measurement often used to evaluate computational models, known as auROC, the researchers also found poor performance. Utilizing these standard molecular docking simulations, we obtained an auROC value of roughly 0.5, which basically says youre doing no better than if you were randomly guessing, Collins says.

The researchers found similar results when they used this modeling approach with protein structures that have been experimentally determined, instead of the structures predicted by AlphaFold.

AlphaFold appears to do roughly as well as experimentally determined structures, but we need to do a better job with molecular docking models if were going to utilize AlphaFold effectively and extensively in drug discovery, Collins says.

Better predictions

One possible reason for the models poor performance is that the protein structures fed into the model are static, while in biological systems, proteins are flexible and often shift their configurations.

To try to improve the success rate of their modeling approach, the researchers ran the predictions through four additional machine-learning models. These models are trained on data that describe how proteins and other molecules interact with each other, allowing them to incorporate more information into the predictions.

The machine-learning models learn not just the shapes, but also chemical and physical properties of the known interactions, and then use that information to reassess the docking predictions, Wong says. We found that if you were to filter the interactions using those additional models, you can get a higher ratio of true positives to false positives.

However, additional improvement is still needed before this type of modeling could be used to successfully identify new drugs, the researchers say. One way to do this would be to train the models on more data, including the biophysical and biochemical properties of proteins and their different conformations, and how those features influence their binding with potential drug compounds.

This study both lets us understand just how far we are from realizing full machine-learning-based paradigms for drug development, and provides fantastic experimental and computational benchmarks to stimulate and direct and guide progress towards this future vision, says Roy Kishony, a professor of biology and computer science at Technion (the Israel Institute of Technology), who was not involved in the study.

With further advances, scientists may be able to harness the power of AI-generated protein structures to discover not only new antibiotics but also drugs to treat a variety of diseases, including cancer, Collins says. Were optimistic that with improvements to the modeling approaches and expansion of computing power, these techniques will become increasingly important in drug discovery, he says. However, we have a long way to go to achieve the full potential of in silico drug discovery.

The research was funded by the James S. McDonnell Foundation, the Swiss National Science Foundation, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the National Institutes of Health, and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. The Antibiotics-AI Project is supported by the Audacious Project, the Flu Lab, the Sea Grape Foundation, and the Wyss Foundation.

Job Details

The Opportunity

Join the School of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) as a Lecturer/Senior Lecturer. You will be conducting independent research and delivering excellent teaching.

This position is in the area of Formal Methods and Logic in Computer Science, with preference for algorithmic verification and applications towards areas including security foundations, distributed computing, hybrid systems and autonomous systems.

Formal Methods and Logic are well represented at the School. The Formal Methods Group works on developing the theoretical foundations for reasoning about computational systems, and enabling computers themselves to perform such reasoning, to support the development of computational systems to the highest levels of assurance concerning their correctness, security and reliability. Specific areas of current focus are foundational models and logics for reasoning about fault-tolerant distributed computing, information flow, privacy, machine learning and smart contracts in blockchain systems. In teaching, we are developing a pedagogy in which students are first motivated to reason informally but rigorously (e.g., using assertions and invariants) about program correctness and program derivation, and then introduced to program verifiers such as Dafny. Advanced teaching areas covered by the group include theory of computing, concurrency theory, and algorithmic verification. The School's Trustworthy Systems Group concentrates on provable correctness for an actual operating-system kernel (seL4) and the Knowledge Representation Group applies logic in AI.

The ideal candidate will have a track record and an ongoing research program of use-inspired basic research in Formal Methods in which new methods and theories are developed that help to write programs that are provably correct, with applications to the programming challenges of today and the future (e.g., privacy, security, reliability and autonomy).
