Revealed at Meta\u2019s annual Connect conference, the headset will cost USD 1.5k and will be available for purchase from 25 October.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quest Pro has cost Zuck a lot of money:<\/strong> Meta already lost as much as USD 16.2 bn so far creating this visionary product, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/technology\/meta-unveils-its-much-hyped-quest-pro-mixed-reality-headset-meta-connect-2022-2022-10-11\/\">Reuters<\/a> reports. The headset is being marketed for designers, architects and other creatives who can immerse themselves in the digital world, manipulating virtual objects in real life contexts.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\">\n<p><a class=\"content-anchor\" id=\"tldr-story-03\"><\/a> <strong>Body fat can be metabolically healthy or not: <\/strong>Having body fat is completely healthy, it all comes down to the size of the fat cells and whether or not we exercise them, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/biomedgerontology\/article\/77\/6\/1101\/6454992\">research<\/a>from the University of Copenhagen picked up by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wellness\/2022\/10\/12\/exercises-to-shrink-fat-cells\/\">the Washington Post<\/a>. A person with healthier and smaller-sized fat cells is less at risk for inflammation than an unhealthy person with the same body fat percentage, researchers tell WaPo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, it\u2019s the cell size that matters: <\/strong>When our fat cells are large, they overflow and leak fatty acids into our bloodstreams, which find homes in our organs, leading to unpleasant results. Smaller fat cells suck up fat from our blood and have tons of active mitochondria and functioning blood vessels to transport oxygen and nutrients to cells, boosting immunity and fighting inflammation. Researchers who biopsied abdominal fat from young inactive men, older inactive men and physically active older men found that the fat cells from the inactive older men had fewer mitochondria than in the young men\u2019s fat and produced less energy. The physically active men\u2019s fat cells had plenty of mitochondria \u2014 even more than the young men\u2019s fat tissue \u2014 and their fat cells supplied more energy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s never too late:<\/strong> You don\u2019t necessarily have to lose weight to make your body fat metabolically healthy and even if you start exercising now, no matter how inactive you\u2019ve been, your fat\u2019s fitness can improve. A new <a href=\"https:\/\/physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full\/10.1113\/JP282371\">study published in the Journal of Physiology<\/a> biopsied fat tissue from 36 inactive obese men and women then asked them to ride a stationary bike four times a week for 3 months. The participants reduced the size of their fat cells, without losing weight, and boosted blood vessel capacity leading to more cell nourishment and fewer biochemical markers of inflammation.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div

href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/eg-en\/title\/81031412\">Jumping From High Places<\/a> is a coming-of-age film that centers on Sole, a woman living in picturesque southern Italy who is unable to live life to the fullest due to a debilitating anxiety disorder. Her former love interest comes back to town with a long-overdue letter from his deceased sister Emma, who used to be Sole\u2019s best friend. The letter prompts Sole to make a list of her fears and overcome them one at a time, opening up a world of possibilities. While not exactly Oscar-worthy, this lighthearted movie is full of heartwarming moments and laugh-out-loud anecdotes. It\u2019s also refreshing to see a coming-of-age story that doesn\u2019t revolve around a teen who miraculously figures out life by the time they graduate.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/enterprise-recommends\/\">Enterprise Recommends<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/on-the-tube-tonight\/\">On The Tube Tonight<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"553000\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"553000\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">4<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">GO WITH THE FLOW<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2022\/10\/13\/jufo-to-pay-2021-dividends\/\">\r\n                            JUFO to pay 2021 dividends                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2022\/10\/13\/jufo-to-pay-2021-dividends\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

Historically walled off from retail traders by difficult accreditation requirements and large ticket sizes, some PE firms are now moving to open up their portfolios to individuals. Meanwhile, a slate of startups have popped up looking to democratize the industry and facilitate retail investments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By the numbers: <\/strong>So-called \u201calternative\u201d assets, such as real estate, private equity, and credit account for 30-50% of institutions\u2019 investments, according to a Mckinsey <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/industries\/financial-services\/our-insights\/us-wealth-management-a-growth-agenda-for-the-coming-decade\">study<\/a>. On the other hand, the average retail investor has just 2% in alternatives. While it\u2019s mostly unorthodox, some asset managers \u2014 including Schroders, Abrdn, Jupiter and Baillie Gifford \u2014 provide some form of access for individuals, though it has still been limited.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s changed? PE firms are adjusting to a world of more diversified investments. <\/strong>Most institutions set limits on how much they will invest in alternatives, and most have already maxed out, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/0fd7b929-e86e-43ec-952a-ff14ec2b9dda\">Financial Times<\/a> writes. Meanwhile, individual investors are increasingly looking to diversify their investments as old-school market trends die out \u2014 the traditional 60\/40 portfolio mix of stocks and fixed income is feeling increasingly pass\u00e9, said Matt Brown, founder and CEO of CAIS, a marketplace for alternatives investments. and especially as market volatility becomes the new norm. With new market trends now seeing most institutions\u2019 investments heading towards these \u201calternative\u201d investments, \u201cany wealth adviser not using alternatives in the next few years will be at risk of not having a practice,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Experts think PE for retail investors will boom over the next decade:<\/strong> \u201cIn five or 10 years private equity will be for most people as common and as accessible as public markets,\u201d Steffen Pauls, founder of retail-focused PE investment platform <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moonfare.com\/\">Moonfare<\/a>, estimates in a separate interview with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/8875aed5-ebb7-466c-ad6e-287a22eecd0e\">FT<\/a>. Mckinsey also sees retailers doubling their PE investments to 5% of their portfolio in the next three years, injecting some USD 500 bn to USD 1.3 tn in new capital to the asset class.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wealth management departments at large financial institutions are shifting their focus to PE: <\/strong>Most large financial institutions are reaching individuals through wealth management, a business that combines asset management with financial planning and advice. \u201cThere is a tremendous transfer of capital under way out of the traditional wealth management industry into alternative investments,\u201d Brown says. PE pioneer KKR is expecting some 30-50% of its incoming capital to come from wealthy individuals over the coming period, the FT reports.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Over in startup land, fintechs looking to democratize the industry are booming: <\/strong>Berlin-based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20220914005256\/en\/Moonfare-Surpasses-150M-AuM-in-the-US-and-Lowers-Investing-Minimums-to-Further-Democratize-Access-to-Private-Equity\">Moonfare<\/a>has some USD 150 mn in assets under management in the US, while US-based startup <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2022\/09\/15\/allocations-miami-private-equity-crypto-alternative-assets-apis-venture-startups\/\">Allocations<\/a> \u2014 which is valued at around USD 150 mn \u2014 similarly allows retail investors to make PE investments. The two companies are working to attract retail investors to the asset class by making it more accessible and reducing the minimum investment amount required for investors to get in on a PE investment. \u201cTraditionally, retail investors, if they go to their bank, their minimum to invest [in alternative assets] is really high, like USD 5k to a mn USD, but on Allocations, you can have any minimum,\u201d Allocations CEO and founder Kingsley Advani said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Traditional PE firms are also beginning to accept smaller ticket sizes:<\/strong> KKR last month <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2022\/09\/13\/kkr-dives-into-avalanche-blockchain-to-tokenize-and-democratize-financial-services\/\">decided to tokenize<\/a> part of one of its funds, helping it streamline administration processes and allowing it to accept smaller checks from investors. Administrative processes often prove costly for asset managers, which is part of the reason why they tend to prefer bigger checks \u2014 and ask for bigger fees \u2014 to compensate. These ticket sizes would traditionally be in the mns, but providers are beginning to bring that number down to USD 50k or lower, according to the Financial Times.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Time <\/strong><strong>spend<\/strong><strong> is another factor<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> Institutions and very high net-worth individuals can afford to lock up mns of USDs for years in the asset class, which not only comes with hefty fees but is also often illiquid for years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But new solutions are emerging to make investing in PE more accessible<\/strong>, the FT says. Some are now offering \u201csemi-liquid\u201d funds, which act like mutual funds but limit the amount investors can withdraw in a given period, giving investors some flexibility but still imposing limits on how much money they can make in the near term from the asset. Investment trusts, which are used to hold PE investments, are also increasingly being used in the UK in a bid to integrate PE investments into other investments as part of one vehicle, eliminating the need for a minimum ticket size and allowing investors to publicly trade their shares on the market and reap more short-term rewards from PE investments. An even more attractive and accessible option for investors is pooling resources with other investors to invest directly in PE transactions.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content
