The fund that trebled investors' money by backing Britain's smallest companies: INVESTING SHOW
Smaller companies in the UK offer one of the best opportunities to investors in a long time, says the manager behind the top performing investment trust over the past five years. Rockwood Strategic has trebled investors money since June 2020, but manager Richard Staveley says that Britain's smallest listed companies are still going cheap. He speaks to Simon Lambert on this episode of the Investing Show, to discuss how his investment philosophy, how Rockwood Strategic invests and reveal the thinking behind some of the companies it currently holds. Rockwood Strategic has achieved a 198 per cent total return over the past five years, putting it top of the UK smaller companies sector, according to AIC figures, with its value approach to picking shares paying off. He highlights how the trust even bought two companies for less than the cash on their balance sheets. By comparison to Rockwood Strategic's performance, the FTSE All Share is up 42.3 per cent over five years, while the much better performing US stock market index, the S&P 500, is up 98 per cent. The £116million investment trust holds 24 companies and Richard says this concentrated approach means it can adopt the Warren Buffett-style principle of focusing on your best investment ideas. He says Rockwood Strategic works closely with the companies it holds and that 'if you rang up any of the CEOs, they would say we are one of their most engaged investors'. Richard says: 'A lot of investing these days has gone passive and I think there's a decreasing role for investors like myself to just sit on wide portfolios of stocks. 'To prove why it's worth having us, we need to do things that the computers can't do, have a concentration, and take active risk and get involved.'

SA aviation sector rocked by new ruling: 1 400 aircraft grounded, 300 000 jobs at risk
South Africa's aviation sector has been shaken by the South African Civil Aviation Authority's (SACAA) sudden enforcement of a controversial rule requiring all aircraft engines older than 12 years to undergo mandatory overhauls – regardless of flight hours or mechanical condition. The decision, which has grounded more than 1 400 fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters across the country, stems from SACAA's belief that a strict time-based overhaul regime is essential to maintaining flight safety. The cost of an overhaul in many cases may exceed the value of the aircraft, effectively rendering them obsolete. An industry with some 300 000 employees could be economically decimated by the ruling. According to SACAA, the enforcement of the 12-year engine overhaul rule is rooted in one key priority: Preventing mechanical failure that could result in fatalities. SACAA says it is aligning local regulations with the manufacturer-recommended 'calendar life' of engines, which typically advise overhauls every 12 years, irrespective of flight time. These timeframes are based on the understanding that materials degrade with age, even when engines are well-maintained or seldom used. The Authority points to international standards, including those of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States, which often require scheduled overhauls for commercial operations. A SACAA spokesperson told media this week: 'Aging components – particularly in critical engine assemblies – can experience metal fatigue, corrosion, and rubber degradation that are invisible during external inspections. 'Overhaul intervals are designed to identify these failures before they become safety risks.' Until recently, aircraft owners could make use of AIC 18.19, an exemption that allowed continued airworthiness via inspection, rather than calendar age. However, in 2023, SACAA rescinded that circular. The rationale? According to SACAA insiders, reliance on discretionary inspections introduced inconsistencies in compliance. Inspectors may vary in experience or overlook early signs of deterioration. The Authority has stated that the alternate compliance pathway was vulnerable to abuse and opened the door to unsafe flying. 'The blanket inspection exemption created a loophole. Safety cannot depend on subjective interpretations of engine health,' SACAA said in a statement. Although no recent high-profile accidents have been directly linked to old engines in South Africa, SACAA claims that international incident data shows a pattern: Infrequently flown engines tend to fail without warning due to internal corrosion or seal degradation. In 2019, for example, an engine failure in a privately operated aircraft in Botswana – later linked to long-term storage and inadequate internal inspection – raised red flags across the SADC region. SACAA is said to be taking a proactive stance to avoid a similar event within its own jurisdiction. There is also a compliance liability factor. As the aviation regulator, SACAA has obligations to the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and is required to maintain internationally accepted safety oversight standards. Any serious accident involving an ageing engine could lead to reputational damage, and worse, the downgrading of South Africa's aviation safety rating. Such a downgrade would affect international operations, potentially jeopardising South African air carriers' access to international airspace. 'If we wait for a major incident to act, we will have failed in our duty of care,' said one SACAA official, speaking on condition of anonymity. Despite widespread industry backlash, SACAA appears firm in its position that the rule is necessary for long-term aviation safety. Efforts by stakeholders to negotiate a conditional or phased implementation – similar to previous years – have so far been unsuccessful. Still, industry experts argue that the overhaul requirement ignores real-world usage patterns and may sacrifice economic stability without measurable safety gains. While SACAA insists its decision is safety-first, critics say the Authority has prioritised bureaucratic control over collaborative risk management. With no empirical evidence of increased incidents due to old but maintained engines, the aviation community continues to call for a return to a more nuanced, evidence-based approach. For now, unless SACAA reconsiders or provides a transitional path, South Africa's skies will remain quieter – and its aviation economy more uncertain.

AIC First XV rugby round 6 Team of the Week
Has there been a more dramatic transformation of an AIC First XV player this decade than that of St Edmund's College lock Seb Kracht? Kracht is a remarkable rags to riches story, someone who has come from the clouds - and the wing - to take the competition by storm this season. This time last year the athletic Kracht was playing wing in the St Edmund's Second XV. Fast forward 12 months and he has been consistently one of the best players on the field in both good times and bad for St Edmund's this season. Exhibit A was when St Edmund's lost its round three match to St Laurence's at Runcorn when St Laurence's led 28-nil at halftime, before winning 49-17. Yet Kracht scored two tries, hit hard in defence to halt Laurie's forward charges one off the ruck, and contested strongly in lineouts. They were the bad times, yet he finished the Doubles Daley Medallist. Now to the good times. Last Saturday St Edmund's won a thriller against St Peters after a last minute penalty goal by Pat Albion. Kracht scored and was enormous with his thundering runs and tackles. Coach Andrew Kirk admits if Kracht had indicated he would be prepared to switch from the outside backs to the forwards, he would have picked him last season at a time when he was wandering in the No. 14 jumper. Eddies' revelation Kracht makes the AIC rugby round 6 Team of the Week again following his performance against the Saints. Who joins him in the side? AIC FIRST XV RUGBY TEAM OF THE WEEK 15. Harry Taylor (St Laurence's) Taylor's incursions from fullback last weekend were telling. Taylor, a Year 10 student, is going to be one heck of a three-year player for Laurie's. He scored a double and dazzled on both occasions, using his footwork, speed and unpredictability to manoeuvre his way past defenders. He is quite exciting. 14. Jarah Chaseling (Padua) Like Taylor, winger or fullback Chaseling's first love is rugby league. But that hasn't stopped him from making a palpable difference for Padua this year. Saturday was a fine example of him at his best because late in the second half he stepped past one player, drew in two and then released an offload while being wrestled to ground. It created a try and well before that the slippery speedster was involved in a few others which inflated Padua's score from 19 to 50 in no time. 13. Sean Green (Ashgrove) Green helped set a platform for Ashgrove with uncomplicated, straight, hard running from inside centre. His size and strength made him an authoritative figure and his involvement added variety to the edge-of-the-ruck runs by the Ashgrove ball carriers. The Papua New Guinean powerhouse also supported well on the inside if breaks were made by the outside backs. Nate Clark (Padua) Clark moved back to inside centre after a grand two-game stint as Padua's flyhalf. Perfectly suited to the No.12 position, Clark was a defensive lynchpin across a gruelling first half and he maintained his high standards whenever Paddies had the ball in the second half. He was excellent in defence on a day where every Padua back had their moment. 11. Rory West (Padua) The little ripper on Padua's left wing had a match to remember in front of a bumper St Patrick's crowd. With bucketloads of spectators watching on as part of the school's back to Shorncliffe day, West was magic wherever he went to finish off four tries. Small but speedy and hard to bring down, West was a key beneficiary of the work of his inside men. 10. Damon Humphrys (Padua) Humphrys had his hand in a few West tries and plenty of others as the ace flyhalf created four of five second half tries scored by the fast-finishing Padua boys. The visitors held a slender 19-15 lead at oranges but won 50-15. Humphrys - utilising his deft grubber kicking, short and long passing game and deceptive speed and athleticism - was at the forefront of Padua's second half heave after the St Patrick's forwards had dominated early. 9. Harrison Graham (Ashgrove) The masterful Graham has been a terrific middle man tying together Ashgrove's authority at the breakdown and its ability to move the ball around. When Ashgrove race in those many tries from a long, long way out from the line, it is easy to overlook Graham's snappy service as a firing pin. 8. Seb Gardiner (Ashgrove) Gardiner is, of course, a No. 7, but to squeeze in two courageous and inspiring flankers from losing teams into the top 15 (see below), the Ashgrove skipper has been shifted to No.8. Gardiner has been a revelation with his dynamic runs both into space and into the opposition taking his side over the advantage at speed. Gardiner's urgency in the defensive line must have set an example for his peers. 7. James Kenny (St Peters) Not for the first time the compact flanker was magnificent. Tough, strong and courageous, Kenny has played above his weight and under duress all season and did it again last weekend in a nail biter. Kenny's ability to win contested possession at the breakdown has been a highlight of matches he has played. Again last weekend he was responsible for four or five turnovers for his the Saints. 6. Finn Staley (Villanova) A tenacious, smaller flanker, Staley was bravely on the ball against the odds against Ashgrove last weekend. He was also an effective and agile defender on the edge of the ruck who helped keep the scoreline down. Staley has stepped up in the absence of tone-setting backrower Ryder Childs who has been out since round 4 with a broken cheek bone. 5. Seb Kracht (St Edmund's) Kracht has undergone an extraordinary transformation from a Second XV winger in 2024 to a tremendous lock in 2025, not far behind Padua weapon Will Ross. Certainly Kracht is the find of the season among the forwards in the AIC competition. Aside from his authority in defence, damaging runs and safe lineout retrieval, Kracht has now scored a try against every opponent this season. 4. Zane Smith (St Peters) In a team desperately unlucky to lose, the undersized second rower continued to play above his weight and give his side his all. Smith was solid with his carries, running straight and hard, and continued to give his team a high work rate and mobility around the field. 3. Luka Smith (St Laurence's) There has been no third-season syndrome for Laurie's prop Luka Smith. In fact, he has only gotten better and better as the seasons have worn on. Against Iona, Smith's pick-and-drive play - partnered with Vin Rix, Brad Smith and others - mounted enormous pressure on the opposition's goal line. Smith's strength and skill was best eclipsed late in the game when a short lineout play saw him throw the ball in, receive a quick offload and storm 20m to the tryline, barreling a defender over on his barnstorming pursuit. 2. Mitch Wallis (St Patrick's) Wallis' room would be full of Doubles Daley medals after his deeds this season. A hooker with two more years of First XV rugby ahead, Wallis has headed a strong Paddies scrum and gotten increasingly harder to handle running the ball. The powerful 15-year-old was at the epicentre of Paddies' strong start which saw them lead 5-nil and looking capable of an upset when trailing by four early in the second half. 1. Jack Mercer (Padua) An impressive prop every week for Padua with his work rate and involvement, Mercer made inroads again versing an amped-up Paddies pack. Fast and fit for a prop, Mercer was solid in his core role but raised the bar with his cover tackling and urgency running from A to B. He has been top notch in 2025. 16. Josh Heinrich (Ashgrove) Heinrick was a four star performer again as both a tight forward and a loose forward - all the while kicking six goals from seven attempts. Again he looked like an inside centre in full cry when he burst through to score a 45m try, while never shirking his other responsibilities in the set pieces and at the breakdown. 17. Will Tatt (St Edmund's) The back-row forward has been Mr Consistency, someone who has done the one percent plays from start to finish this season. Eddies' would not have swapped him for anyone over the last two seasons and it was nice for the hard working forward to have that winning feeling again in 2025. Tatt deserved nothing more. 18. Matt Linnell (Villanova) Gridiron quarterback and rugby captain Matt Linnell led from the front as a tight forward work horse against Ashgrove. He finished with an elbow injury, but before his departure the upbeat chap led the team strongly with runs and was great over the ball. 19. Tom Croft (St Laurence's) Croft scored two tries within the first 15 minutes to put a down payment on victory for the black and golds. As the match progressed, the No.8 was in everything. He put his head down and got to work in pick-and-drive play which delivered more than half of Laurie's 61 points and his pressure off kick restarts and in defence was outstanding. 20. James Turner (Iona) Entering the fold with Keanu Bothma out injured, scrumhalf Jimmy Turner took his chance with both hands and had a posiitve showing. His quick taps kept the Laurie's defenders on their toes and Turner's service from the ruck base was pin point. The ultra-fit First XI cricketer was quick to the breakdown and his sound 70-minute performance against an on-fire Laurie's outfit warrants praise. 21. Alex Borger (Villanova) It was not an easy day in the office for the Villanova scrumhalf, such was the pressure exerted by the Ashgrove forwards at the breakdown. But goal-kicking gun Borger held up well, was brave under pressure, moved the ball well and overall had a fine match. 22. Joey Cervetto (Ashgrove) For a kid who started as a three quarter, Cervetto has come on in leaps and bounds for unbeaten Ashgrove. Earlier in the season the headgear-wearing flyhalf did not over play his hand and his confidence and patience has obviously grown as his combination with the players around him has improved. The Queensland Thunder water polo prodigy looked like a senior player with class and last Saturday against Villanova. 23. Tomi Wilson (St Edmund's) St Edmund's fullback Tom Wilson has been one of the rookies of the season. He is only in Year 10, but has taken to First XV rugby like a duck to the Bremer River through Ipswich. He was also a two-try hero last weekend and dropped the ball over the line attempting a third try. SPECIAL MENTIONS: Will Ross (Padua),Elliot Aldridge (Ashgrove), Hudson Bishop (Villanova), Oliver Gibson (Iona), Matt Doherty (Iona), Liam Whale and Fionn MacCafferkey (Iona), Justin Wilson (St Laurence's), Gio Koopu (St Laurence's), Harrison Vera (Padua), Tom O'Regan (Padua), Denzel Savelino (St Patrick's), Abe Huxtable (St Patrick's) and Oliver Slater (St Patrick's).

‘Essentially running a small town': Eight questions with new AIC president Nicolle Cestero
SPRINGFIELD — American International College in Springfield makes history on July 1 by formally welcoming its first female president since the institution was founded 140 years ago. The college's board of trustees unanimously selected Nicolle Cestero as the 13th president of the institution. She was appointed president by the board in May and has assumed the responsibilities of the role, according to Denise Vozella, AIC's public relations and communications manager. The title becomes official next month. Cestero served as interim president beginning in March 2024, following her tenure as executive vice president, chief operating officer and chief of staff. As interim president, Cestero led the launch of Pathway to Progress, a business plan to guide the college's direction in the coming years. The plan addresses operations, a revised academic portfolio and expanded degree offerings. Before joining AIC in 2011, Cestero began her professional career in New York City at the Council on Foreign Relations, a think tank focused on global affairs. Cestero holds a master's degree in business administration from AIC, a master's degree in industrial-organizational psychology from the University of West Florida and a bachelor's degree in psychology from Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley. Cestero spoke with The Republican recently about making history and her mark on AIC. Q. Have you always aspired to be a college president? A. There had been conversations between the board and I regarding whether I wanted to put my hat in the ring for the presidency, and I kept saying 'No.' I didn't want to do this because it's a huge lifestyle change. Being a college president is similar to being the mayor of a city because you are essentially running a small town. You have to worry about (everything from) whether there are weeds growing in the cracks of the sidewalk, to whether your students are safe, your academic product, fundraising with alumni and donors. There's a lot that goes into it and I still have four daughters. They range in age from 6 to 17. I didn't think it was the right time for me. Q. What changed your mind? A. We have worked hard over the past year to put a plan together to stabilize the institution and position it on a pathway for growth. There have been some positive things happening and I want to see them through because I care deeply about this institution, and I want to see us be successful. So here I am! Q. How meaningful is it for you to be the first female president of AIC? A. I have believed for a long time in empowering women and how women lead differently than men. I want to ensure the role of women in the workplace continues to be important and relevant. We need to continue to lift up other women so we can break that glass ceiling and show the power of women in general. It's cool for my daughters to see a woman in this position who can manage a job like this but also be a mom and give you a curfew and help with your homework. I'm glad they get to see and live that. Q. What is your overall vision for the college? A. The college found itself, like many other institutions, not in a very good position in many different ways — financially, programmatically, from a morale perspective. We did some deep work and called in experts over the past year and the outcome of that was a plan for the next three years that dovetailed with our strategic plan. There are shared goals across the institution that help us identify what we're doing and how everybody benefits. Q. How does the plan address the fact that fewer families are having children, which means fewer of them are going college? A. That decline is going to continue until 2032, which means there are relatively the same number of institutions that have a smaller customer base to pull from. You've got to be able to grab a larger portion of that smaller customer base to maintain and grow. We are changing how we market ourselves to meet the communication style for 18-year-olds. Students and kids are on social media all the time, so you need to make sure you've got a presence on Snapchat, Instagram and TikTok. We're also emailing and texting, finding out how they research and connect with colleges. We're also addressing programming. How do update our courses and make them more relevant? How do we expand our reach beyond this region for online programming? For example, how do we get a student in Chicago to attend AIC in Springfield? We're reaching out to demographic groups besides traditional first-time college freshmen. There are transfer students and an adult market. We've got different partnerships to help us make sure we're giving attention to these different groups so we are stabilizing and growing this institution. Q. How do you plan to balance the competing demands of your key audiences? A. There are different constituent groups, and they can have different feelings about the institution — and going through a presidential transition can be difficult. Let's take our alumni. They want to know who's leading this institution and is it similar to the school I went to — the school that cared for me and gave me this opportunity. The school that changed my life. Is the school still doing those things for students and does the president leading the institution have the values and the vision to ensure AIC is what we want it to be? I have been at the college for a long time, and we have made progress over the past year. We are trying to do a better job of bringing alumni together. We are having a positive effect on the alumni. We still have work to do, but at least we're starting that process, which is a good thing. Q. AIC has had a troubled relationship with students in the past. How are you addressing that? A. About a year and a half ago, the students were definitely not pleased about communication, transparency and they felt a lack of support under the previous administration. There were a lot of conversations about how upset they were. Things were posted online and there were meetings called to express their dissatisfaction. I believe that has changed, for the most part. Relationships have been worked on and been repaired, but that needs to continue. It's like a marriage; you don't fix one problem and move on. We have to pay attention to it constantly. I think things are improved but we have to continue to work on it every single day. Q. Are you looking forward to your installation? A. I'm not one of those people that likes that kind of stuff. I'd rather just do the work and make sure we're moving in the right direction. We don't need to have a party. Editor's note: Following The Republican's interview with Cestero, Vozella, the college's spokesperson, stated in an email, 'At this time, there are no immediate plans for a formal investiture. President Cestero prefers to focus on the work ahead rather than ceremony.' A disabled veteran is accusing a Holyoke city councilor of taking his home. Did he?
