Top 1000 Funds: “The diamond-water paradox,” or “The Paradox of Value”, first pondered by the founder of modern economics, Adam Smith, in the 1700s (and featured much more recently on the US National Public Radio program Planet Money), is due to the widely held perception by investors that water is an abundant and endless resource with minimal value.

IPE: The world’s third largest asset manager has written to more than 1,000 listed companies to tell them that corporate culture is top of its stewardship teams’ engagement agenda this year.
