The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), in conjunction with a company called Intrinsic Exchange Group (IEG), is creating a new kind of company called the Natural Asset Company, as described below (from the NYSE website at Natural Asset Companies (NACs) | NYSE).
To address the large and complex challenges of climate change and the transition to a more sustainable economy, NYSE and Intrinsic Exchange Group (IEG) are pioneering a new class of listed company based on nature and the benefits that nature provides (termed ecosystem services). NACs will capture the intrinsic and productive value of nature and provide a store of value based on the vital assets that underpin our entire economy and make life on earth possible. Examples of natural assets that could benefit from the NAC structure include natural landscapes such as forests, wetlands and coral reefs, as well as working lands such as farms.

This is the year of bigger, and in this case, bigger is NOT better. There is a bigger war brewing in the Middle East – much bigger. Some say this is the beginning of WWIII. There is no end in sight for the conflicts all over the region. You have a hot war in Gaza. Hezbollah is ready to ramp it up in Lebanon on Israel’s Northern border, and the US and UK both opened up big attacks on the Iranian backed Houthis in Yemen. Meanwhile, Iran was busy taking an oil tanker by force near the Strait of Hormuz. You have conflict on the biggest choke points for oil tankers and shipping at the Red Sea and the Persin Gulf. Is there a big economy-killing oil spike coming? If this keeps going, and it will, the answer is yes.
