CASE ALLEGATIONS: On September 7, 2021, Compass Diversified announced the acquisition of a majority interest in Lugano Holdings, Inc., a designer, manufacturer, and marketer of high-end jewelry, in a deal with an enterprise value of $256 million (excluding working capital and certain other adjustments upon closing).
The Compass Diversified class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Lugano had violated applicable accounting rules and acceptable industry practices with respect to its financing, accounting, and inventory practices during Compass Diversified fiscal 2024; (ii) Lugano's 2024 financial results had been artificially distorted by these irregularities; (iii) Compass Diversified had failed to implement effective internal controls over Compass Diversified's financial reporting; and (iv) as a result, Compass Diversified's reported 2024 financial results did not reflect the actual financial results of Compass Diversified and such reported results were materially misstated.
On May 7, 2025 Compass Diversified issued a press release titled 'Compass Diversified Discloses Non-Reliance on Financial Statements for Fiscal 2024 Amid an Ongoing Internal Investigation into its Subsidiary, Lugano Holding, Inc.' revealing that Compass Diversified 'has preliminarily identified irregularities in Lugano's non-CODI financing, accounting, and inventory practices. After discussing with senior leadership and investigators, the Audit Committee of CODI's Board has concluded that the previously issued financial statements for 2024 require restatement and should no longer be relied upon.' Compass Diversified's release also announced that Compass Diversified intended to delay the filing of its first quarter 2025 Form 10-Q. On this news, the price of Compass Diversified's stock fell more than 62%.

Positioning For A Weak Dollar
Standard Chartered Bank is maintaining an 'Overweight' stance on global equities, anticipating a constructive yet volatile second half of 2025. The bank's positive outlook is largely underpinned by expectations of a weaker US dollar, global policy easing, and a strong probability of the US economy achieving a soft landing. In its latest market outlook, Standard Chartered highlights that a weakening US dollar historically benefits global equities, particularly non-US assets. Consequently, the bank has upgraded its position on Asia ex-Japan equities to 'Overweight,' signaling confidence in the region's growth prospects. They also favor 5-7 year maturities in US dollar bonds and have upgraded Emerging Market (EM) local currency bonds to 'Overweight,' noting their potential to benefit from a weaker greenback and anticipated rate cuts by EM central banks. 'Policy easing worldwide, strong chances of a US soft landing, and a weaker USD are supportive of risky assets,' stated the bank in its report. 'We favour diversified global equity exposure.' The second quarter of 2025 has been characterized by significant market fluctuations, including events such as 'Liberation Day' (referring to the transition of Nifty contracts to SGX GIFT City in July 2023) and ongoing Middle East tensions. Despite this volatility, global equities have seen an approximate 8% gain quarter-to-date. Looking ahead to H2 2025, Standard Chartered expects economic and earnings growth to remain constructive. The US economy, despite earlier soft survey data, has shown resilience in 'hard data,' supporting the bank's belief in a soft landing scenario. This is further bolstered by supportive fiscal and monetary policies across the US, Europe, and Asia. However, the bank cautions investors to remain vigilant against several key risks. The end of President Trump's 90-day tariff 'pause' in early July is a point of concern, with Standard Chartered expecting extensions that may be accompanied by heightened rhetoric in trade discussions. Ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and between Ukraine and Russia also continue to simmer, with the former posing a potential, though likely brief, risk of higher energy prices. Standard Chartered's base case anticipates these risks will result in temporary, rather than sustained, volatility. The top three risks closely monitored by the bank include: A sustained rise in trade tariffs. A significant jump in oil prices due to geopolitical events. A sudden decline in US hard economic data towards recessionary levels. To mitigate these risks and navigate potential temporary volatility, Standard Chartered identifies Gold and Alternative Strategies as attractive diversifiers for investment portfolios.

Sabah leader demands immediate freeze on suspicious resource licenses amid corruption concerns
Henrynus RANAU (June 21): In a decisive move to restore public confidence, Parti Kerjasama Anak Negeri president Datuk Henrynus Amin called for an immediate halt to all questionable mineral exploration license applications in Sabah. This urgent demand follows serious allegations of corruption that have tarnished the state's natural resource management, implicating businessmen, government officials, and even Sabah State Assemblymen. 'The public's faith in how Sabah's natural resources are managed has been severely undermined by recent events,' Henrynus stated in a statement on Saturday, emphasizing that the grave accusations against elected officials involved in graft necessitate a thorough investigation by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). While acknowledging the MACC's recent announcement to charge two suspects and a businessman allegedly involved in a mineral exploration conspiracy, Henrynus stressed that these actions are merely a starting point. He asserted that the approval processes and management of natural resources by relevant departments and agencies lack transparency, appear highly irregular, and are thus suspicious. He urged the MACC to broaden its investigation significantly. Specifically, he called for a close examination of the financial ties between prominent tycoons, politicians (or their associates), and government officials involved in the approval of all resource-related permits and licenses, including prospecting, mining, timber and land concessions. He believes existing police reports from individuals and NGOs, alongside counter-reports, provide sufficient grounds to investigate all implicated individuals. 'We want the State Government to freeze the processing of all mineral applications because there are rumors that more than 30 applications are currently being rushed for approval,' he stated. Henrynus vehemently condemned the practice of issuing exploration licenses based on political favoritism or as rewards for political allies, only for these licenses to be quickly resold to wealthy tycoons for profit. 'This practice directly harms the people of Sabah, who are the rightful owners of these valuable resources,' he asserted. He argued there is no moral justification for approving lucrative licenses to political proxies, allowing them to gain financially. He highlighted how such political corruption has led to the depletion of Sabah's natural resources — including minerals, timber, agricultural land, and stone/sand reserves — at the expense of its own people, disproportionately benefiting non-Sabahan tycoons. He warned that 'greed and the desire for power are driving the abuse of authority,' risking the future inheritance of generations to come. Parti Kerjasama Anak Negeri is committed to safeguarding a substantial portion of Sabah's natural resource wealth for future generations, preventing its irresponsible depletion. Henrynus stressed that current exploration and mining licenses primarily benefit political leaders, not the general public. To address this, he proposed that exploration and mining licenses in areas with proven mineral reserves either be tendered out or granted to Sabah State government-linked companies (GLCs) in partnership with private companies possessing the necessary technical expertise. This approach, he argued, would not only generate vital state income but also prevent capital outflow. He also strongly advocated for all proceeds from mineral sales to be reinvested into appreciating assets within Sabah, especially in the very regions where extraction occurs, ensuring lasting benefit. Alternatively, he suggested that all proceeds from the state's mineral resources be invested in a 'sovereign wealth fund' to ensure long-term benefits for future generations. 'Sabah has already lost vast natural resources like timber, agricultural land and minerals to external private or listed companies,' Henrynus lamented. He firmly insisted that licenses should only be granted to genuine companies with proven technical and financial capabilities, not to individuals with political connections seeking quick profits.

Anwar's dilemma grows as allies compete for Cabinet posts
THE resignations of PKR's Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli and Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad as economy and natural resources ministers have sparked a race among unity government parties for the vacant Cabinet posts. This has deepened the dilemma faced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. UMNO, eyeing its seventh ministerial slot after Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz's defection to PKR, has proposed names like Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani, sources said. Johari is the current Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister. Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan is also mentioned as a potential interim economy minister. Meanwhile, Amanah also is pushing for more representation, citing its strong track record, while MIC and MCA demand fairer Barisan Nasional (BN) representation, criticising UMNO's dominance. While Anwar faces pressure to balance coalition dynamics, both MIC and MCA have so far been denied ministerial posts, though they are under the BN banner, and BN is a loyal party to the Madani regime. Reports now suggest Johari is among those tipped to act as interim economy minister, replacing Rafizi, who made it clear he is not coming back to Anwar's cabinet. However, Anwar could also appoint Johari, analysts said, as a permanent economy minister in a portfolio swap between UMNO and PKR. A portfolio swap could happen, but the quota balance remains. Some reports are saying UMNO could propose others to replace Johari at the Commodities, such as Deputy Works Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan or Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail. We also have to note that last week, Amanah Johor called on the Prime Minister to allocate more cabinet positions to the party following the resignation of two ministers. Its deputy chairman Dr Zuhan Zain highlighted Amanah's strong performance and commitment to the unity government, citing leaders like the late Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub, Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu, and Health Minister Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad. While the vacant posts were previously held by Rafizi and Nik Nazmi, Zuhan argued that UMNO's nomination of non-PKR candidates opens opportunities for all coalition parties to propose their leaders. On the other hand, UMNO has been reminded not to behave as if it is the sole party representing BN in the coalition government. MIC strategic director R Thinalan criticised BN chairperson Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's push to maintain UMNO's seven ministerial positions after Tengku Zafrul's departure, calling it disappointing to MIC grassroots. Thinalan argued that UMNO is not the sole BN representative, questioning why MCA or MIC cannot fill Cabinet roles. He emphasised that Tengku Zafrul's former ministry belonged to BN, not UMNO exclusively, and insisted that any Cabinet appointments must involve discussions with other BN component parties, highlighting the need for a fairer representation within the coalition government. — June 21, 2025 Main photo credit: Reuters
