    Comments by the President and Group Chief Executive Officer:

    Geopolitical tensions and the trade war are making the economic outlook uncertain

    In the first quarter of 2025, the business environment was marked by uncertainty and an exceptionally tense geopolitical situation. The war in Ukraine has continued for more than three years, no solution is in sight for the Middle-East conflict, and the trade war ignited by US tariff rises is creating exceptional uncertainty in the world economy. As the tectonic plates of geopolitics and world trade structures shift, it is difficult to see where they will settle. The golden age of globalisation, which began in the late nineties, already appears to be over for now; free global trade seems unlikely to return to its former course. Mounting trade barriers will slow global growth and increase inflationary pressures.

    Due to the uncertainty, the most recent analyses revise economic forecasts downwards: OP Financial Group’s latest projection envisages GDP growth of 1% in Finland this year. The world economy is expected to grow by only 2.5%, which is a relative slowdown in terms of global growth. However, given the exceptional uncertainty in growth prospects, positive changes in the outlook are also possible.

    Gloomy economic expectations have spurred cuts in interest rates and the markets expect short-term market rates to keep falling in the euro zone. Conversely, long-term rates have risen due to concerns that public debt will continue to rise in the euro zone.

    The uncertainty seems to be dampening consumer confidence and companies’ willingness to invest. Despite this, the housing market continues its gradual recovery.

    The trade war has magnified the unusual volatility in stock market prices. In many markets, the early-year rise in stock prices was wiped out as Q1 ended: in late March, the global equity index was 2.1% lower than at the end of 2024. European share markets defied this trend, rising by 5.2% after the year-end; the Nasdaq Helsinki closed 4.2% higher.

    OP Financial Group performed well, despite the turbulence in capital markets

    Regardless of the challenging business environment, OP Financial Group’s profitability remained high and its operating profit was EUR 423 million. This represents a decrease of 31% compared to the same period in 2024. Our strong profit performance will enable us to continue providing outstanding benefits for our more than 2.1 million owner-customers in 2025. This year again, we will use benefits to help ease the strain on households in economically challenging times. We will pay 40% extra (compared to the normal level of 2022) on OP bonuses earned in 2025 and will not charge our owner-customers monthly fees for daily services throughout the year. Together, these benefits will add up to more than EUR 400 million in value for our owner-customers. Being customer-owned, OP Financial Group will continue to share its financial success through a range of financial and other benefits for owner-customers.

    Strong capital adequacy and excellent liquidity provide security in the uncertain and often unpredictable business environment. At the end of March, OP Financial Group’s CET1 ratio was 20.0%, which exceeds the minimum regulatory requirement by 6.9 percentage points. OP Financial Group is one of the most financially solid large banks in Europe. Furthermore, our liquidity remained excellent. Strong capital adequacy, excellent liquidity and broad trust among customers and other stakeholders are vital for banks and insurance companies, particularly in these uncertain times. All of these are in excellent shape at OP Financial Group.

    Income from OP Financial Group’s business operations was EUR 989 million in January–March, which was 17% less year-on-year. In particular, net interest income fell by 11% due to decreases in market rates. Net commissions and fees were at the same level year-on-year.

    The insurance service result was a EUR 2 million profit, compared to a EUR 10 million loss for Q1 in 2024. This was due to a more favourable claims trend than a year earlier, although the insurance service result for this year’s Q1 was weighed down by growing operating expenses and the poor profitability of health insurance.

    Due to turbulence in the markets, income from investment activities was modest at EUR 19 million, compared to EUR 151 million at the end of March last year.

    Totalling EUR 590 million, OP Financial Group’s expenses were higher by 10% year-on-year, mainly due to rising personnel costs and higher investments in ICT development. At 60%, OP Financial Group’s cost-income ratio clearly deteriorated compared to Q1 2024.

    Of the three business segments, the best performer was Corporate Banking, which had an operating profit of EUR 145 million in January–March, a year-on-year increase of 13%. Despite a 23% decrease, Retail Banking’s operating profit of EUR 291 million was also a good performance. The segment was particularly affected by falling market rates: net interest income decreased by 17%. Due to a poor investment result, the Insurance segment recorded a EUR 14 million operating loss. This compares to the segment’s operating profit of EUR 118 million for Q1 in 2024.

    Both deposit and loan volumes are growing – impairment loss on receivables was exceptionally positive

    The deposit portfolio grew by 5% year-on-year, total deposits being EUR 77.5 billion at the end of March. OP Financial Group’s market share of deposits has been growing markedly over the last couple of years.

    Moreover, its loan portfolio, which grew by around 1% year-on-year, was EUR 99.1 billion: with this, the Group held onto its position as Finland’s leading provider of home loans. The home loan market has shown signs of recovery in recent months: for example, the euro amount of new home loans granted by OP Financial Group in March 2025 was 28% higher than in March 2024. OP’s home loan customers have continued to repay their loans diligently and on schedule. The number of loan modification applications was lower than in the same period in 2024. Year-on-year, the number of corporate loans under special monitoring declined.

    The ratio of non-performing exposures to the loan and guarantee portfolio decreased to 2.5%. Exceptionally, reversals of impairment loss on receivables totalled EUR 24 million in January–March, compared to EUR -39 million recognised for Q1 a year earlier.

    Savings and investments are growing strongly – OP First Investment for babies incentivises long-term investment

    Alongside our aim to coach our customers in making better financial choices, we have focused on making personal financial management easier for them, while enabling and supporting long-term saving and investing. Wealth management is one of our growth focus areas and we aim to make a clear growth leap in this business activity. Despite the volatility on stock markets, our customers retained a strong interest in securing their financial futures and accumulating wealth.

    Customers were interested in systematically investing in funds – they made almost 57,000 new systematic investment agreements with us, which is a 22% increase compared to Q1 in 2024. There are already more than 1.4 million OP mutual fund unitholders. In addition, the number of active equity investors grew by 34%. Reaching almost EUR 94 billion in value, investment assets managed by OP Financial Group grew by 6% compared to January–March 2024.

    OP Financial Group member cooperative banks will make an OP First Investment donation – a EUR 100 investment in the OP-World Index fund – to every baby born in Finland this year. The wellbeing of children and youths is one of OP’s values and part of its approach to corporate responsibility. With OP First Investment, we want to encourage families to engage in systematic, long-term saving and investment. Based on last year’s figures, the estimated aggregate value of OP First Investment donations may exceed EUR 4.3 million. OP First Investment can be received from May 2025, when it will become available for babies born in 2025 (including those born before May).

    The mild winter had a positive impact on claims, but health insurance claims expenditure continued to grow considerably

    Pohjola Insurance’s premiums written grew by 1% compared to the first quarter of last year. Premiums written grew by more than 8% regarding personal customers, but decreased by 2% in the case of corporate customers.

    Pohjola Insurance’s claims expenditure fell by 16% year-on-year. Due to the mild winter, building claims were 36% down and compensation paid for vehicle claims was 2% lower than for Q1 in 2024. On the other hand, health insurance compensation grew by 14% compared to the first three months of last year.

    Compensation was paid for a total of 94% of all claims, which was the same level as a year earlier.

    Use of digital services is still growing – phone number-based payment is becoming more versatile

    Use of digital services grew substantially again. Our personal and corporate customers increasingly use digital channels for banking and insurance. OP-mobile was logged into more than 60 million times in March. The app already has more than 1.7 million active users. Use of OP Aina – which was launched in June last year as a personal assistant for customers using OP-mobile – grew in the first quarter to 1.5 million service interactions. We use OP Aina to provide customers with services that are even more personalised than before and continuously available.

    Siirto Brand Oy, a joint venture between OP and Nordea, began operating: the company provides Finnish solutions for easy and secure payment. With just a phone number, users can make payments to friends or online stores, and a feature for ordering recurring or single e-invoices is planned. These services will expand opportunities to make account-based payments in Finland. Siirto already has 1.5 million registered users.

    A historically large structural change is underway among OP cooperative banks

    New plans were published during the first quarter for mergers between OP cooperative banks around Finland. The mergers announced and decided so far will reduce the number of OP cooperative banks from 93 at the end of 2024 to 54 by the end of 2025. In addition, several projects (both published and unpublished) for mergers between OP cooperative banks are being planned.

    Key drivers of mergers between OP cooperative banks include ensuring that they can provide the most comprehensive, highest quality banking services possible in their operating regions, while keeping pace with the increase in banking regulations.

    In uncertain times, we need pioneers that point the way to futures filled with hope

    OP Financial Group is in excellent shape to support customers in various ways in the uncertain business environment. We want to be a pioneer pointing the way to futures filled with hope in Finnish society – we will pursue this objective through a number of measures this year. An example is our new partnership with the Hive coding school, through which we aim to promote work-based immigration and the training of people from diverse backgrounds for high-level roles in IT. The future success and wellbeing of Finland and its people depend on stepping up work-based immigration and solving the challenges posed by the ageing of society, as Finland’s working-age population decreases.

    My warm thanks to all our customers for the trust they showed in OP Financial Group in early 2025. We aim to continue being worthy of the confidence you place in us. I would also like to thank our employees and governing bodies for their excellent work in the first quarter of 2025.

    President and Group CEO


    January–March

    OP Financial Group’s operating profit was EUR 423 million (618), down by 31.4% or EUR 194 million year on year.

The cost/income ratio weakened to 59.7% (45.0). New OP bonuses accrued to owner-customers increased by 7.6% to EUR 81 million.

    As a result of lower market interest rates, net interest income decreased by 11.0% to EUR 631 million.

    Investment income (net investment income, net insurance finance expenses and income from financial assets held for trading) decreased by a total of 87.5% to EUR 19 million.

    Total expenses grew by 10.0% to EUR 590 million. Personnel costs rose by 9.4% to EUR 280 million. The increase was affected by headcount growth and pay increases.

    OP Cooperative’s Annual Cooperative Meeting

    Outlook

    The global economic outlook has weakened due to increased tariffs and a higher level of uncertainty. The Finnish economy is likely to grow less than previously expected and the outlook is exceptionally uncertain. The escalation of geopolitical crises or a rise in trade barriers may affect capital markets and the economic environment of OP Financial Group and its customers.

    OP Financial Group’s operating profit for 2025 is expected to be at a good level but lower than that for 2023 and 2024.

    The most significant uncertainties affecting OP Financial Group’s earnings performance are associated with developments in the business environment, changes in the interest rate and investment environment, and developments in impairment loss on receivables. Forward-looking statements in this Interim Report expressing the management’s expectations, beliefs, estimates, forecasts, projections and assumptions are based on the current view on developments in the economy, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.


    Press conference

    OP Financial Group’s financial performance will be presented to the media by the President and Group Chief Executive Officer Timo Ritakallio in a press conference on 7 May 2025 at 11am at Gebhardinaukio 1, Vallila, Helsinki.

    Press Release
    Cybernet and Nokia redefine Pakistan’s network landscape with 1.2T-per-lambda backbone

    • Cybernet has selected Nokia’s innovative 1830 Global Express (GX) platform with integrated optical line system capabilities and ICE7 coherent optics.
    • Cybernet’s new network will provide connectivity services to over 25 cities across Pakistan.
    • The Nokia solution will help Cybernet meet growing customer bandwidth demands with high-capacity services at market-competitive cost and power per bit.

    7 May 2025

    Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced that Cybernet, Pakistan’s leading fiber broadband provider, has chosen Nokia’s cutting-edge optical transport solution for its new long-haul Optical Fiber Cable (OFC) network. Designed to deliver 1.2 terabits per second (Tbps) per wavelength, this next-generation infrastructure will power Cybernet’s national backbone. The network will connect over 25 cities in its initial phase and deliver more than 50 Tbps of long-haul capacity.

    This deployment will support data center interconnect, enterprise and carrier networks, as well as Cybernet’s flagship consumer broadband service, StormFiber.

    Cybernet provides comprehensive connectivity solutions across Pakistan, serving enterprise, corporate, and residential customers, in addition to offering carrier and transit services to international telecom operators. To support its growing data demands and build a terabit-scale infrastructure, Cybernet is deploying Nokia’s 1830 GX platform, integrated with 1.2T ICE7 coherent optics. The new network will expand capacity along resilient, diverse routes and enable a high-speed, low-latency terrestrial backbone that spans the entire country.

    In addition to connecting cities and communities through Cybernet’s digital highways, the new backbone will also support cross-border transit services for carriers and internet service providers in Central Asia. By delivering scalable, high-capacity services at globally competitive rates, this initiative will ultimately accelerate Pakistan’s digital transformation and foster regional connectivity.

    “By enhancing our network with cutting-edge technology, we’re able to keep pace with our customers’ rapidly evolving connectivity needs and deliver a superior end-user experience. Nokia is a trusted technology leader with the expertise and innovation to support our modernization goals. The 1830 GX-based solution will form the foundation for high-capacity services connecting Pakistan—and the region—to the global digital economy,” said Maroof Ali Shahani, Chief Operating Officer of Cybernet.

    “Deploying state-of-the-art optical solutions ensures networks are not just keeping pace with, but even staying ahead in the race to meet surging bandwidth demands. As Cybernet prepares to modernize its network infrastructure, Nokia is proud to be helping transform Pakistan’s connectivity landscape with a 1.2T backbone, seamlessly interconnecting data centers, powering government networks, and delivering direct-to-home services,” said James Watt, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Optical Networks at Nokia.

    The AGM of 13 March 2025 adopted the Financial Statements for 2024 and discharged members of the Board of Directors and the CEO from liability. The AGM decided that dividends to be distributed total EUR 112,000,000.00, or EUR 0.35 per share, and that following dividend distribution, the remaining amount of EUR 260,323,566.01 be recognised in the retained earnings account.

    Outlook

    The global economic outlook has weakened due to increased tariffs and a higher level of uncertainty. The Finnish economy is likely to grow less than previously expected and the outlook is exceptionally uncertain. The escalation of geopolitical crises or a rise in trade barriers may affect capital markets and the economic environment of OP Corporate Bank and its customers.

    The most significant uncertainties affecting OP Corporate Bank’s earnings performance relate to developments in the business environment, changes in the interest rate and investment environment, and developments in impairment loss on receivables. In addition, future earnings performance will be affected by the market growth rate and the change in the competitive situation.

    Forward-looking statements in this Interim Report expressing the management’s expectations, beliefs, estimates, forecasts, projections and assumptions are based on the current view of the future development in the business environment and the future financial performance of OP Corporate Bank plc’s and its various functions, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.

    Company Announcement No 20/2025
    7 May 2025

    Sydbank’s Interim Report – Q1 2025

    Q1 2025 – highlights

    • Profit for the period of DKK 645m equals a return on equity of 17.4% p.a. after tax
    • Core income of DKK 1,700m is 8% lower compared to the same period in 2024
    • Trading income of DKK 64m compared to DKK 89m in the same period in 2024
    • Costs (core earnings) of DKK 881m compared to DKK 831m in the same period in 2024
    • Core earnings before impairment of DKK 883m are 20% lower compared to the same period in 2024
    • Impairment charges for loans and advances etc represent an expense of DKK 35m
    • Bank loans and advances have gone down by DKK 1.2bn, equal to a decrease of 2% compared to year-end 2024
    • The CET1 ratio stands at 16.3%, equal to a decline of 1.5pp compared to year-end 2024

    CEO Mark Luscombe comments on the result:

    • It is positive that we have been able to generate a return on equity of 17.4% under market conditions characterised by uncertainty. In the current environment many of our customers have chosen to remain financially flexible where retail clients focus on savings and corporate clients strengthen their balance sheets and consequently postpone major financial decisions. Inflation and interest rates continue to go down, which should support an increase in lending and investment activities once confidence has been restored. Therefore lending is down, deposits are up and assets under management continue to show a net increase.

    Board chairman Ellen Trane Nørby elaborates:

    • It is positive that profit for Q1 2025 is as expected at the beginning of Q1 2025 despite the ECB and Danish central bank rate cuts occurring at a faster pace than anticipated. Against this background the result must be considered quite satisfactory.

    Mark Luscombe comments on the beginning of the new strategy period:

    • The themes in our new strategy “Bigger Sydbank” will guide us and ensure that we can meet the strategy’s goals. We will focus on the customer and be the workplace for some of our industry’s most talented and dedicated employees. Our consistent customer focus is having the intended effect as customer satisfaction is going up and every segment is welcoming new customers.

    Board chairman Ellen Trane Nørby comments:

    • In times of trade conflicts and geopolitical uncertainty it is particularly important that Sydbank is well prepared to navigate this uncertainty and support its customers. It is gratifying to note that after initiating the share buyback of DKK 1,350m the Bank remains highly capitalised and resilient.

    Outlook for 2025

    • Moderate growth is projected for the Danish economy.
    • Profit after tax is expected to be in the range of DKK 2,200-2,600m.
    • The profit forecast assumes that the Danish central bank will lower the interest rate by 1pp in 2025.
    • The outlook is subject to uncertainty and depends on financial market developments and macroeconomic factors which may affect eg the level of impairment charges.

  • MIL-OSI: Karolinska Development’s portfolio company Umecrine Cognition presents data validating novel clinical scale in PBC at EASL 2025

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN – May 7, 2025. Karolinska Development AB (Nasdaq Stockholm: KDEV) today announces that its portfolio company Umecrine Cognition will attend the EASL Congress 2025 in Amsterdam, May 7–10, to present validation and implementation data for the newly developed clinical scale for Primary Biliary Cholangitis, PBC.

    Umecrine Cognition is developing a new class of drugs to alleviate cognitive symptoms caused by liver disease. The company’s drug candidate golexanolone is currently being evaluated in a clinical Phase 2a study in PBC. At EASL 2025 (European Association for the Study of the Liver), Umecrine Cognition will present validation and implementation data for the newly developed clinical scale CGI-S-PBC™ (Clinical Global Impression of Severity Scale for Primary Biliary Cholangitis), which was partly developed by the company and is currently being used in the ongoing clinical trial with golexanolone.

    The scale was designed to evaluate symptom severity in PBC patients that cannot be measured by conventional laboratory tests. The newly developed CGI-S-PBC™ scale is a more objective, anchor-based clinical outcome scale that expands on the patient-reported outcome measure PBC-40, and the validation and implementation were recently documented in two separate studies along with the current use in the clinical Phase 2a trial.

    Abstracts summarizing the validation and implementation of CGI-S-PBC™ will be presented at the on-site paper poster session “Immune-mediated and cholestatic disease: Clinical aspects” on Thursday, May 8, with the title: “Validation of the clinical global impression severity scale for primary biliary cholangitis: a clinical trials outcome tool,” and “Implementation of a clinical global impression severity scale for primary biliary cholangitis: results of a hepatologist focused training program”.

    Karolinska Development’s ownership in Umecrine Cognition amounts to 73%.

    The Epson Tour’s newest champion joins Legend Michelle Wie West and LPGA stars Rose Zhang and Ayaka Furue to form Team Mizuho

    Wilson to compete in 2025 Mizuho Americas Open as sponsor exemption

    NEW YORK, May 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mizuho Americas, the Americas arm of Mizuho Financial Group (NYSE: MFG), one of the largest financial institutions in the world and title sponsor of the Mizuho Americas Open, today announced Yana Wilson, 2023 American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) Player of the Year and current rookie on the Epson Tour, as an official brand ambassador. Wilson – who earned her first professional victory on the Epson Tour this past Sunday in her hometown of Las Vegas – joins Michelle Wie West, Rose Zhang and Ayaka Furue in representing “Team Mizuho.”

    After advancing to Qualifying in the LPGA Q-Series, Wilson secured guaranteed Epson Tour status for 2025 and ultimately decided to bet on herself and go pro. Prior to joining the Epson Tour, Wilson secured four AJGA victories, including winning the amateur tournament at the inaugural 2023 Mizuho Americas Open at Liberty National Golf Club.

    “Watching Yana transition from a top-ranked amateur to a dedicated pro, has been an inspiring journey,” said Cheryl Gilberg, Chief Marketing Officer, Mizuho Americas. “Her win at the inaugural Mizuho Americas Open in 2023 and her impressive second-place finish in 2024 showcased not just her incredible talent, but also her unwavering determination and grace. We are thrilled to have her as part of Team Mizuho and look forward to supporting her every step of the way.”

    As previously announced at the Mizuho Americas Open media day in April, Mizuho has extended a sponsor exemption for Wilson to compete in the 2025 Mizuho Americas Open May 8 – 11, at the iconic Liberty National Golf Club in Jersey City. She will make history as the first player to win the tournament as a junior and return to compete as a professional.

    “It’s an honor to join Team Mizuho alongside such inspiring women and accomplished golfers,” said Wilson. “Mizuho’s commitment to providing a championship experience for amateur and professional players alike is something I have been fortunate enough to experience through the Mizuho Americas Open. I am proud to represent Mizuho as they continue to help advance the next generation of talent and level the playing field for women.”

    Mizuho recently renewed its title sponsor agreement for the Mizuho Americas Open through 2030 and will raise the purse to $3.25 million in 2026, one of the largest outside of the Major championships. The tournament will maintain its successful format where the AJGA’s future stars compete alongside the best women golfers in the world. The new five-year agreement will allow the marquee tournament to remain in the New York City Metro area, providing unmatched benefits to the LPGA players, AJGA junior golfers, and the local community.

    The expanded ambassador program is a key component of Mizuho’s support of the LPGA.

    WASHINGTON, May 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — EB5 Capital is pleased to announce the first individual I-526E petition approval for an investor in its Steamboat Springs Marriott Hotels (JF40) project.

Now that the first petition has been approved, additional I-526E petition adjudications for this project are expected in the coming months.

  • MIL-OSI: LoCorr Investment Models Now Available on Private Advisor Group’s WealthSuite Platform

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    MINNEAPOLIS, May 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — LoCorr Funds, a leader in low-correlating alternative investments, is pleased to announce the development of three alternative investment models for Private Advisor Group’s WealthSuite platform. The models, which went live on May 1, 2025, blend active and passive mutual funds and ETFs from LoCorr and other third-party asset managers to create alternative investment portfolios tailored to three investment objectives—growth, income, and capital preservation.

    LoCorr was selected to build models for the WealthSuite platform because of the firm’s singular and long-term focus on low-correlating alternative investments, which move independently of traditional investments. In addition, LoCorr has deep expertise in blending strategies with low correlation to each other to improve a portfolio’s overall risk/return profile.

    “We are excited to join Private Advisor Group to offer their advisors access to carefully constructed models that have historically low beta to traditional assets, providing a diversified return stream to portfolios,” said Kevin Kinzie, CEO of LoCorr Funds. “The launch of these models comes at a time of heightened volatility and uncertainty in the markets, where many advisors are seeking differentiated sources of alpha.”

    The three models include Alternatives Growth, which seeks to provide risk mitigation with potential upside; Alternatives Income, which aims to provide risk mitigation with income; and Alternatives Preservation, which strives to provide risk mitigation with a focus on capital preservation.

    “The goal of these models is to help diversify portfolios by improving risk-adjusted returns, mitigating drawdowns, and smoothing performance for investors, thus providing a complement to existing stock and bond portfolios,” said Sean Katof, CFA, Chief Investment Officer of LoCorr Funds. “These models add resilience to portfolios, making them better equipped to navigate a wider range of market conditions.”

    The alternative investment models are intended to be strategic positions in the asset allocation process.

    About LoCorr Funds
    LoCorr Funds is a leading provider of low-correlating investment strategies, founded on the belief that non-traditional investment strategies with low correlation to stocks and bonds can reduce risk and help increase portfolio returns. LoCorr offers investment solutions that not only provide the potential for positive returns in rising or falling markets but also help to achieve diversification in investment portfolios. LoCorr Funds is headquartered in Excelsior, MN. For more information, please visit www.LoCorrFunds.com or call 1.888.628.2887.

    WealthSuite Model Portfolios are made available to Private Advisor Group (“PAG”) on a non-discretionary basis by LoCorr Funds. Information about the Models may be provided by representatives of LoCorr.

    LoCorr WealthSuite Model Portfolios are designed to achieve the agreed upon PAG objective(s). The LoCorr WealthSuite Model Portfolios use a systematic approach in conjunction with a quantitative and qualitative methodology for selecting mutual funds or ETFs based on the parameters PAG places on the composition of such custom models. The methodology considers the research provided by LoCorr’s research team. LoCorr uses a systematic approach to combine a set of investment options whose overall risk characteristics, when viewed as a portfolio, are designed to meet PAG’s objectives, which can be subject to change. PAG is responsible for providing review and approval of the WealthSuite Model Portfolios constructed by LoCorr.

    LoCorr is not acting as a fiduciary or in any advisory capacity in providing this information. The information is designed to be utilized by you solely as a resource, along with other potential sources, in providing advisory services to your clients. You are solely responsible for determining whether the Models, the investment products included in the Models, and the share class of those products, are appropriate and suitable for you to base a recommendation or provide advice to any retail investor about the potential use of the Models.

    Information and other marketing materials concerning the Models may not be indicative of any client’s actual experience from investing in one or more of the investment products included in the Models. The Models’ allocations and data are subject to change.

    As applicable, inclusion of the mutual funds and ETFs in the WealthSuite Model Portfolios will result in the payment of fees to the mutual funds and ETFs in the Models, as provided for in the relevant prospectus to each such investment product, including to LoCorr for LoCorr managed funds. As a result, there are certain conflicts of interest that are inherent in the design and operation of the model portfolios because, to the extent consistent with the investment objective of any particular model, LoCorr will allocate assets among Underlying Funds. The fees received from investment in the included LoCorr mutual funds will be retained by LoCorr.

    The Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses must be considered carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information about the investment company, and it may be obtained by calling 1.855.LCFUNDS, or visiting www.LoCorrFunds.com. Read it carefully before investing.

    Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Funds invest in foreign investments which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks are greater for emerging markets. Investing in commodities may subject the Funds to greater risks and volatility as commodity prices may be influenced by a variety of factors including unfavorable weather, environmental factors, and changes in government regulations. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in Asset-Backed, Mortgage-Backed, and Collateralized Mortgage-Backed Securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of such as credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments. Derivative contracts ordinarily have leverage inherent in their terms which can magnify the Fund’s potential for gains or losses through increased long and short position exposure. The Funds may access derivatives via a swap agreement. A risk of a swap agreement is the risk that the counterparty to the agreement will default on its obligation to pay the Funds. The Funds will incur a loss as a result of a short position if the price of the short position instrument increases in value between the date of the short position sale and the date on which an offsetting position is purchased. Investments in lower-rated and nonrated securities presents a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher rated securities. Underlying Funds are subject to management and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Funds. The Fund’s portfolio will be significantly impacted by the performance of the real estate market generally, and the Fund may be exposed to greater risk and experience higher volatility than would a more economically diversified portfolio. Small and mid-sized companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources, and they may be dependent on a limited management group. There is no assurance that any hedging strategies utilized by the Fund will successfully provide a hedge to the portfolio’s holdings which could negatively impact Fund performance.

    Diversification does not assure a profit nor protect against loss in a declining market. Correlation measures how much the returns of two investments move together over time. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

  • MIL-OSI: FiberCop renews its trust in Solutions30 with a three-year contract worth more than €125 million for optic fiber deployment in Northern Italy

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Solutions30, a European leader in rapid-response field services for the telecommunications, energy and digital sectors announces that its subsidiary Solutions30 Italia has renewed its contract with FiberCop, a key player in the development of Italy’s optic fiber infrastructure. The total value of the contract exceeds €125 million over three years. 

    The agreement provides for the continuation of FTTH (Fiber To The Home) network deployment in the Piedmont and Aosta Valley regions. The project will cover approximately 300,000 housing units, further strengthening connectivity across Italy and helping to bridge the digital divide.

    The strengthening of the collaboration with Fibercop confirms the strong relationship built between the two companies over the past years. It will accelerate FiberCop’s fiber rollout schedule, supporting the country’s digitalization goals and the European agenda for ultra-fast connectivity. Moreover, it is fully aligned with Solutions30’s strategy of contract selectivity, particularly in Italy, where recent improvements in operational and contractual dynamics are enabling the Group to return to balanced, profitable growth in this market.

    Solutions30 Italia will remain involved in all key project phases – from design and installation to network activation at the end user’s premises, contributing to the deployment of a reliable and high-performance infrastructure. The renewed agreement also includes the enhancement of quality standards, operational sustainability, and technical training across the regions concerned.

    The development of the secondary FTTH network plays a strategic role in Italy’s digital transformation. By bringing fiber directly into homes, businesses, offices, and public administrations, the network will ensure stable, ultra-high-performance connections capable of meeting the growing demand for advanced digital services.

    This infrastructure is essential for enabling applications such as remote working, distance learning, Industry 4.0, and digital public services, thereby enhancing the country’s competitiveness. Moreover, the expansion of the FTTH network will help reduce the digital divide between regions, supporting a more inclusive and balanced economic development.

    “We are proud to continue and strengthen our collaboration with FiberCop through a strategic project for the country’s digital future,” said Paolo Polleri, Telco Key Account and Operations Manager at Solutions30 Italia.“This contract marks a new milestone in our commitment to supporting the rollout of ultra-fast broadband and contributing to the technological and social development of the regions involved.”

    Thanks to this renewed agreement, Solutions30 Italia will continue working in synergy with FiberCop on numerous projects, supporting the expansion of the ultra-fast broadband network in line with the objectives of the Digital Agenda and Italy’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR).

    “The renewal of this agreement reflects the strength of our partnership and the value Solutions30 brings as a reliable and innovative technology partner,” said Giovanni Ragusa, CEO of Solutions30 Italia. “Together, we aim to make a tangible contribution to Italy’s digital development.”

  • MIL-OSI: FillaRole Launches AI-Powered Hiring Platform to Transform Canadian Employment

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SASKATOON, Saskatchewan, May 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Canadian businesses now have a smarter, faster way to hire—thanks to FillaRole. Officially launched in beta earlier this year, the AI-powered platform is now fully available across the country and has already attracted more than 40,000 job applicants and 90,000 users.

    Unlike traditional job boards that leave hiring teams buried under piles of unqualified resumes, FillaRole is purpose-built to simplify employment. The platform combines advanced artificial intelligence with real human support to instantly organize, rank, and categorize applicants by location and fit. With growing national attention, FillaRole recently earned a coveted spot in VentureLAB’s Accelerated Growth Program, which supports high-potential Canadian tech companies that are redefining their industries.

    Built for Real-World Employers, Not Recruiters

    “Business owners don’t have time to babysit job boards. You post a job, get flooded with resumes, and hope for the best,” said Keli Propp, CEO of FillaRole. “Platforms like Indeed or ZipRecruiter leave you doing all the work. FillaRole actually cares if you succeed. Whether you need one great local hire or a shortlist of candidates from across the country, or across the globe, we make it easy.”

    FillaRole is a three-generation, family-owned and operated Canadian job platform. While designed for employers of all sizes and industries, it has proven especially successful in the construction, manufacturing, hospitality, and healthcare sector—where hiring is often urgent, but rarely anyone’s full-time job. The company has recently gained high-profile support through its new strategic advisor, Jon Reyes, former Cabinet Minister for the Province of Manitoba, who brings valuable credibility and deep insight into workforce policy and immigration strategy.

    Key Features That Save Time and Stress

    Getting started on average takes just seven minutes. Employers sign-up for free, answer a few quick questions, and FillaRole’s team and technology take it from there. Key features include:

    • One-click posting to 19+ job boards – Maximize visibility in a single step.
    • AI-powered matching – Candidates are instantly ranked by fit and location, saving hours.
    • Human support when you need it – From writing job ads to scheduling interviews.
    • Performance reporting in 48 hours – Know what’s working and where to adjust.
    • Local talent first – Prioritizes qualified candidates near you, with the ability to tap into global talent when needed.
    • Immigration-ready talent access – For hard-to-fill roles, access over 40,000 skilled workers through a trusted partner with a 99.5% success rate.

    Built for Local Talent, Ready for the World

    FillaRole operates on the principle of “Hire Near. Hire FaR.” While the platform emphasizes securing local talent, it also recognizes that sometimes local talent isn’t available. In such cases, FillaRole provides seamless, compliant, and stress-free access to global talent through its partnerships with various vetted Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants (RCICs) across Canada.

    Job seekers also benefit from FillaRole’s streamlined approach. Whether they’re Canadian residents or immigration-ready professionals, candidates can register and get matched with real job opportunities that align with their skills and experience. They’ll also receive ongoing push notifications when new, relevant roles are posted—no more sifting through outdated listings.

    FillaRole is a comprehensive solution designed to give businesses a competitive edge in today’s job market. By combining convenience, efficiency, and AI precision, FillaRole delivers better candidates, less time wasted, and a hiring experience built around how real businesses operate.

    “Our clients don’t care about buttons and dashboards. They just want good people and less stress,” said Propp. “We built FillaRole to deliver exactly that.”

  • MIL-OSI: TSplus Launches Subscription Licensing for All Products, Offering Greater Flexibility and New Revenue Opportunities

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    PARIS, May 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TSplus, a leading provider of secure remote access and application delivery solutions, is proud to announce the official launch of subscription licensing as an additional purchase option across its entire product range. This major update, now available on the TSplus online stores and reflected in the License Portal, marks a strategic enhancement to how customers and partners can access TSplus software.

    TSplus Subscription: An Additional Option, Not a Replacement

    For years, TSplus has offered perpetual licenses, which remain unchanged and will continue to be available as the standard choice for those who prefer one-time purchases. Now, customers and partners can also opt for flexible subscription-based licenses, tailored to meet the evolving needs of businesses of all sizes – particularly startups, SaaS providers, hosting companies, and organizations seeking to reduce upfront investment.

    Importantly, subscriptions can be mixed with permanent licenses on the same server. For example, a Remote Access license can be perpetual, while 2FA is activated via a subscription.

    “This is not a replacement, but an expansion,” said François Stoop, International Sales Director at TSplus. “By adding subscriptions, we’re empowering our partners with new ways to serve diverse customer profiles while tapping into a stream of recurring revenue.”

    The move comes in response to growing demand from partners and clients looking for more adaptable software purchasing models. With this change, TSplus Remote Access, Remote Support, Server Monitoring, and other core solutions are now available either as permanent licenses or through monthly/annual subscriptions.

    And, subscriptions are compatible with all current product versions, including all supported LTS versions.

    Key Benefits of TSplus Subscription Licensing

    Why choose a TSplus Subscription? To enjoy more flexibility and scalability:

    • More flexibility: Ideal for dynamic environments or short-term projects.
    • Lower upfront costs: Pay as you go without large capital expenditure.
    • Scalable plans: Adjust licensing as business needs evolve.
    • Recurring revenue: For partners, subscriptions open new opportunities to build sustainable income.

    TSplus has published a comprehensive FAQ that answers common questions about subscriptions, compatibility, mixing license types, and more:

    This update is supported by significant changes to the TSplus purchasing interface ensuring a smooth experience for users who choose the subscription route, and fully integrated into the License management portal, where a dedicated “Subscription” tab makes it easy for customers and partners to manage their new licenses.

    As of yesterday, 5th of May, subscription licensing is available directly on TSplus product pages. With the rollout now complete, TSplus has also published its updated 2025 pricing (see PDF).

    Capgemini confirms its ESG commitment with an updated policy
    and enhanced objectives

    As a responsible organization, Capgemini remains committed to the ESG priorities set out in 2021 while unveiling new ambitious targets

    Paris, May 6, 2025– Capgemini has updated its ESG policy and objectives set in 2021, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable growth, responsible business practices, and corporate accountability. The updated policy builds on the 8 priorities defined in 2021, adding a 9thfocused on ethics, and outlines 14 objectives. It further demonstrates the Group’s dedication to addressing global challenges while respecting local regulations and creating long-term value for stakeholders.

    Capgemini intends to drive progress and lead in the transition to a more sustainable economy. As part of its ESG policy set in 2021, the Group has already reached many objectives and will continue to build on this momentum through its updated ESG Policy. Some notable achievements include, as of end 2024:

    • Reducing its absolute Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 93% and Business Travel emissions (Scope 3) by 62% per employee compared to 2019, already achieving its objectives for 2030 (-80% for absolute scope 1 and 2 emissions and -55% per employee for Business Travel emissions);
    • Achieving a 98% share of renewable energy in the Group’s electricity consumption, in line with its objective to reach 100% in 2025;
    • Increasing women’s representation in the global workforce to 39.7%, for an objective of 40% in 2025, reflecting an increase of almost 7 points since 2019. Furthermore, women now account for 29% of the Group executive leadership positions, up from 17% in 2019, in line with its objective of 30% in 2025;
    • Reaching an average of 77 learning hours per employee, significantly above the objective set of an increase of 5% each year since 2019;
    • Demonstrating its leadership in data protection and cybersecurity with the recognition of external rating agencies (Bitsight, RiskRecon and Cybervadis).

    The updated ESG Policy forms the basis for the Group’s sustainability priorities and will continue to be embedded in its activities and offerings by leveraging technology, human capital, and alliances with key partners:

    • The Group has added an investment commitment in high-quality carbon credits, in addition to its objective to reduce its emissions across Scopes 1, 2 and 3 by 90% to become net zero by 2040, as validated by the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard, reflecting its commitment to address excessive carbon in the atmosphere today.
    • In addition, the Group pledges to maintain at least 40% of women in its global workforce and raises its objective for women in global executive positions to 35% by 2030.
    • On digital inclusion, Capgemini extends its target to 10 million beneficiaries, and starting in 2025, will be aligning its reporting method to industry leading B4SI1 impact framework, which focuses on the depth of impact on individuals, rather than the number of people reached through community programs only.
    • Capgemini also aims at strengthening the ethical use of AI by its employees, as this technology will deeply reshape the economies.
    • The Group aims at helping its clients achieve their sustainability commitments by enlarging its portfolio of offerings.

    “ESG is fundamental to our corporate strategy and long-term value creation. This enhanced ESG policy reflects our commitment to innovation, ethical leadership and meaningful impact in order to create a future where our teams, our clients and our partners can thrive, in a responsible and resilient economy,” said Aiman Ezzat, Chief Executive Officer at Capgemini.

  • MIL-OSI: CNL Team Recognized With CNIC 2024 Ecosystem Innovation Award for Production of Promising New Medical Isotope

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    CHALK RIVER, Ontario, May 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL), Canada’s premier nuclear science and technology organization, is pleased to announce that it has been recognized by the Canadian Nuclear Isotope Council (CNIC) alongside the Sylvia Fedoruk Centre and Advanced Cyclotron Systems Inc. for being the first in Canada to produce Actinium-225, a promising new medical isotope in the fight against cancer, using a cyclotron and Radium-226 targets. The team was honoured with this year’s CNIC Ecosystem Innovation Award at the annual awards ceremony held in Ottawa, Ontario on April 15th.

    The CNIC Awards are an annual celebration of the growth and success of Canadian isotope industry and the contributions and innovations of its members and leading Canadian individuals in government and industry. CNIC provides a platform for its community to nominate individuals and organizations who have demonstrated leadership and championed advocacy in the industry. Receiving the Ecosystem Innovation Award, which recognizes a major milestone or initiative in Canada’s isotope industry, recognizes CNL’s ongoing efforts to establish this first-of-a-kind production process in Canada, which brings a significant increase in the quantity of this material to market, and unlocks further research and clinical trials.

    “While Actinium-225 drugs have shown incredible potential to serve as a transformative cancer treatment, clinical trials and eventual drug approvals have been impeded by the tight supply scenario of Actinium-225,” commented Ram Mullur, CNL’s Vice-President of Isotopes. “More than seven years ago, CNL set out to address that challenge with the generator route of production of Actinium-225, and we are now moving ever-closer to industrial-scale production. This was enabled through the services and products provided by our collaborators, including the Sylvia Fedoruk Centre, and Advanced Cyclotron Systems. This achievement is also in support of Actineer, which is a joint venture founded in 2023 by ITM Isotope Technologies Munich SE (ITM), a leading radiopharmaceutical biotech company, and CNL. On behalf of CNL, I want to thank the CNIC for recognizing CNL, our collaborators and partners, and the people who are working so hard to bring this vision to life.”

    “The Fedoruk Centre is proud to participate in this achievement with CNL. The work depended on access to the Saskatchewan Cyclotron Facility, which is owned by the University of Saskatchewan and operated by the Fedoruk Centre. Together, we have advanced the production of an exciting new medical isotope here in Canada,” commented John Root, Executive Director of the Fedoruk Centre. “We must thank the federal and provincial governments who funded the cyclotron and infrastructure to make this innovation possible.”

    “The first demonstration of Actinium-225 production by CNL using ACSI’s TR-24 Cyclotron and targetry system is an important milestone for both organisations. I believe that we will continue this successful collaboration in developing technology that will help in achieving worldwide reliable supply of Actinium-225,” stated Richard Eppich, President and CEO of ACSI.

    CNL is currently working as part of a network of organizations to establish a reliable, industrial-scale production process for Actinium-225. “CNL has come a long way in the last seven years, and this award recognizes all of the hard work we have put in to help achieve this unmet need in the radiopharmaceutical industry,” added Mullur. “But I am pleased to say that we are just getting started, and continue to refine, optimize and improve all aspects of the production process, from development through to the extraction and distribution of the final product. And with each step, our optimism continues to grow that this isotope has the potential to serve as a safe and effective treatment for a variety of cancers.”

  • MIL-OSI: LambdaTest Introduces SmartUI Layout Comparison to Revolutionize Visual Testing

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    San Francisco, May 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — LambdaTest, a unified agentic AI and cloud engineering platform, has announced the BETA version of its new Layout Comparison feature within the SmartUI SDK. This innovative tool empowers the developers and QA teams to focus on verifying the layout structure in UI testing by excluding differences in content, color, or styling.

    Unlike traditional visual testing that focuses on content discrepancies like text or images, Layout Comparison specifically addresses how elements are arranged on the page. This is essential for ensuring that the layout remains consistent, regardless of the content or style changes, offering a streamlined approach to visual regression testing.

    The feature brings higher accuracy to visual regression testing, supporting use cases such as responsive design validation, multi-language testing, A/B layout comparisons, and compliance with established design systems. Layout Comparison guarantees that the layout functions as intended across all devices and scenarios while working on a component library or managing a large-scale digital platform

    By focusing on layout structure alone, teams can quickly detect and fix inconsistencies, enhancing the overall user experience and design accuracy. Currently in beta, Layout Comparison is available upon request for interested teams.

Silver Tiger has drilled over 150,000 meters at the El Tigre Project, with 119,000 meters completed since 2020. Silver Tiger has completed several MREs, a maiden MRE in 2017 and MRE updates in 2023 and 2024. The PEA for the El Tigre open pit was released in November 2023. 

    The October 2024 PFS for the El Tigre open pit delivered robust economics. The PFS projects an After-Tax NPV of US$222 million at a 5% discount rate, an After-Tax IRR of 40.0%, and a payback period of 2.0 years. This open pit operation is expected to have a 10-year mine life. The El Tigre project delivers a life of mine undiscounted After-Tax Cash Flow of US$318 million, with initial capital costs of $86.8 million (including $9.3 million in contingency). Operating cash costs are projected at $973/oz AuEq and $12/oz AgEq, with AISC at $1,214/oz AuEq and $14/oz AgEq. The economics of the Project have been evaluated based on a discounted $26/oz silver price and gold price of $2,150/oz. 

    Silver Tiger is now drilling from underground drill pads, focusing on the high-grade silver Veins, Sulphide and Shale Zones. A PEA for the permitted underground mineral resource is expected to be released in the first half of 2025.
