Manager:'The above chart   the monthly food and drink sales in the

Keighley cinema during 2010. The chart shows unit sales.  , there are three

lines on the chart. The sales of popcorn   the green line. The blue

line   drinks. The red line represents ice cream. The chart   
that drinks are by far the biggest type of food and drink sold in the cinema throughout
the year.
 

The chart also shows that there is a   between popcorn sales and drinks.
When popcorn sales rise, there is also a rise in the sales of drinks. This trend supports the
theory that people drink more when they eat food that contains a lot of salt. During the

summer, sales of drinks and popcorn showed a steady increase,  , unit sales
of ice cream actually fell slightly. In fact, sales of ice cream fell from April to July, falling

from 1025 units to 821 units per month  . These result would seem

to   the idea that people consume more ice cream during summer, because

as we can see from the results there is no  .

 
Lastly, the results   that during the Christmas period of December to
January, people are willing to spend more money. Sales of all three types of products
went up during the period. But this could be due to a general increase in attendance at

PRIVATE BANKING – ALTERNATIVE INVESTING –
Next generation of opportunities is sustainable and story-led Clients are being steered to
a range of non-traditional options.Wealthy clients of Swiss private bank Julius Baer
gather in the lobby of The Crystal, one of the world’s most ecologically friendly buildings,
located in London’s Docklands. (0) H The Julius Baer initiative, supported by Boris
Collardi, its youthful chief executive,marks the start of a race among banks to be seen as
relevant to a changing society, and willing to invest outside the limits of traditional
portfolios. (1) E Showing its wares at the Next Generation Conference was SenseCore,
manufacturers  of wearable technology. (2) A SenseCore has so far received €10m in
investment from the bank’s clients.Other Julius Baer projects include supporting ‘smart
cities’ and electric technology for Formula E races, the first of which was held in Beijing in
September.(3) D ‘In the next few decades, we are not just looking at the rise of China,
India and Brazil,’ says Burkhard Varnholt, Julius Baer’s chief investment officer. ‘We will
favour those countries that truly understand sustainable development, at a political and
economic level. That idea embraces the responsibility we have as investment
managers.’This approach has been adopted by other private banks.With traditional
portfolios expected to deliver only single digit returns, recommending a handful of
smaller ventures has also been embraced by US bank Citi, which recently held a seminar
in London where 12 start-ups pitched to its clients. Bankers involved in the Citi event say
the companies were not high-tech enterprises, and instead were well-managed ‘old
economy’ companies involved in oil exploration, car parts manufacturing and clothing
retail. (4) C These story-led opportunities can be used to tempt clients out of a cash-
hoarding mentality.( 5) G But the cost of holding excessive cash will become starker as
monetary policy and economic growth trends potentially diverge in 2015. He continues,
‘This leaves scope for interesting opportunities for more trading-oriented investors.
For 2015, the bank thinks clients should revisit emerging market equities, particularly as
Asian countries will benefit from lower oil prices and the wealth this generates is likely to
spill over into greater consumer spending. However, Mr Kuehne recommends clients seek
stockpicking opportunities rather than broad investments in a country or sector equity
tracking fund.
(6)B Their concerns relate to risks of eurozone stagnation plus fears of liquidity-fuelled
assets that could see violent corrections. Investors must seek global companies less
dependent on macro headlines, says Mr Duret. ‘In a hesitant recovery, industry matters
more than geography.’
 Yet Swiss private bankers such as Pictet say client memories are still raw from equity
downturns of 2002 and 2008, and they are now ultra-cautious. (7) F
 
 
A Jazmin Sawyers, the UK’s long jump silver medallist in the 2014 Commonwealth
Games, demonstrated the clothing, which analyses respiratory, heart and temperature
data, helping improve performance and detect ailments.
B The ‘great rotation’ from bonds into equities has not happened, says Didier Duret,
Chief Investment Officer at ABN Amro Private Banking, who says investors are clinging to
cash.
C However, they say that there are plenty of initiatives in the tech space, but that clients
show particular interest in investing in the nuts and bolts of the economy.
D Among markets he has recommended are allocations to the US, Japan, China and the
rest of Asia. 
E Instead of the 60:40 equity-to-bonds formula so beloved of wealth managers, Julius
Baer’s focus on direct investments in smaller ventures is attracting clients.
F The Swiss bank believes these sustainable, futuristic investments make sense in a world
of low bond returns and unpredictable equity markets.
G ‘A modest exposure to cash for future investment opportunities makes sense in a
client portfolio,’ says Daniel Kuehne, Head of Investment Solutions and Markets at Julius
Baer.

sustainability.
