Swedish Match North America is a Manufacturer Advisory Council member of the We Card Program, a national nonprofit serving retailers of age-restricted products, and a founding board member and investor in TruAge®, a free retail technology that provides stores with a more accurate way of age verification, including the ability to detect fake IDs to ensure 21+ access only.

PMI (PMI) (NYSE: PM) is a leading international tobacco company, actively delivering a smoke-free future and evolving its portfolio for the long term to include products outside of the tobacco and nicotine sector. The company’s current product portfolio primarily consists of cigarettes and smoke-free products. Since 2008, PMI has invested over $12.5 billion to develop, scientifically substantiate and commercialize innovative smoke-free products for adults who would otherwise continue to smoke, with the goal of completely ending the sale of cigarettes. This includes the building of world-class scientific assessment capabilities, notably in the areas of pre-clinical systems toxicology, clinical and behavioral research, as well as post-market studies. In 2022, PMI acquired Swedish Match – a leader in oral nicotine delivery – creating a global smoke-free champion led by the companies’ IQOS and ZYN brands. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has authorized versions of PMI’s IQOS devices and consumables and Swedish Match’s General snus as Modified Risk Tobacco Products. Renewal applications for these IQOS products are pending before the FDA. As of June 30, 2024, PMI’s smoke-free products were available for sale in 90 markets, and PMI estimates that 36.5 million adults around the world use PMI’s smoke-free products. The smoke-free business accounted for approximately 38% of PMI’s total first-nine months 2024 net revenues.

LG&E announces first major data center electric customer

PR Newswire

LG&E’s new utility partnership with Poe Companies and PowerHouse Data Centers sets stage for Kentucky’s first hyperscale data center campus


LOUISVILLE, Ky.
, Jan. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Louisville Gas and Electric Company, a subsidiary of PPL Corporation, announced today its first hyperscale data center electric customer.

A joint venture between PowerHouse Data Centers, a leading real estate developer for next-generation hyperscale data centers and division of American Real Estate Partners (AREP), and Poe Companies, a Louisville-based real estate developer with properties in Kentucky and across the U.S., was announced earlier today. The joint venture is developing Kentucky’s cutting-edge 400-megawatt data center campus which will be located in Louisville. The first 130 megawatts will be available in October 2026.

“We are proud to serve Kentucky’s first hyperscale data center campus,” said John R. Crockett, president of LG&E and KU and chief business development officer for PPL Corporation. “This groundbreaking project will be historic for Kentucky and a continuation of new economic development announcements that are happening throughout the Commonwealth. We’re thankful for the Poe Companies and PowerHouse Data Centers teams for their vision and commitment to making this happen in Louisville and applaud the legislature and Governor Beshear for passing the enabling legislation that puts Kentucky on the data center map.”

The joint venture between Poe and PowerHouse combines both companies’ shared expertise, values, and vision for the campus and future development in the region. Poe is a distinguished real estate developer with a deep and proven record in delivering premium properties. Similarly, PowerHouse brings a successful track record of delivering real estate strategy and development across major markets nationwide.

 In 2024, the Kentucky Legislature approved a 50-year tax exemption program for data center projects located within Louisville and Jefferson County. Kentucky and the surrounding area have emerged as a key location for data centers seeking low-latency peering, and due to its location at the crossroads between the Mid-Atlantic markets and the Midwest.

“Louisville offers everything hyperscale users need in the market – immediate and reliable power at very attractive rates, water, connectivity and a business environment that encourages more hyperscale growth in the region,” said Doug Fleit, co-founder and CEO of PowerHouse. “The experience of working with Louisville Gas and Electric, the utility serving the site, has been a model for other utilities in the country to follow as well as a testament to Poe Companies’ relationships in the community and the market.” 

“Poe Companies is honored to partner with PowerHouse Data Centers, a truly world class data center developer, on this transformative project,” said Steve Poe, CEO of Poe Companies. “Our combined expertise and shared vision for innovation continues to position Louisville as a key hub for cutting-edge digital infrastructure.”

Displaying one of its core strengths as a developer, PowerHouse and Poe have secured access to an initial power capacity of 335 megawatts for this campus with near-term expansion up to 402 megawatts. The power supply will be supported by a new LG&E switch station, to be completed in September 2026, and a dedicated on-site substation. The campus will also benefit from access to the Louisville Water Company’s strong infrastructure system and excess capacity with its water treatment system as well as the Ohio River, with an average of 75 billion gallons flowing by Louisville daily, ensuring effective cooling and operational efficiency for high-density computing needs. With all essential zoning in place, the site will begin construction in 2025 with the first building scheduled to be operational by the fourth quarter 2026.

Louisville Gas and Electric Company and Kentucky Utilities Company, part of the PPL Corporation (NYSE: PPL) family of companies, are regulated utilities that serve more than 1.3 million customers and have consistently ranked among the best companies for customer service in the United States. LG&E serves 335,000 natural gas and 436,000 electric customers in Louisville and 16 surrounding counties. KU serves 545,000 customers in 77 Kentucky counties and 28,000 in five counties in Virginia.

UBS Collaborates with Nobel Laureate Robert Engle on a New Volatility Controlled Index Series

UBS Collaborates with Nobel Laureate Robert Engle on a New Volatility Controlled Index Series

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
UBS announced today its collaboration with Engle Volatility Consulting LLC (“Engle Consulting”), the research principal of which is Nobel Laureate Dr. Robert F. Engle, on a methodology for a series of volatility controlled indices. The series uses rules-based systematic investment strategies that aim to provide enhanced exposure to various underlying assets using a novel forward-looking intraday volatility forecasting methodology developed with Dr. Engle.

The first of the index series will aim at improving the risk-return profile of major benchmark equity indices in order to serve the increasing demand in retirement products and help investors achieve their financial goals.

Ghali El-Boukfaoui, Head of Insurance Sales at UBS Investment Bank, said: “We are excited to collaborate with Dr. Engle to bring this innovation to the retirement market. Volatility control methodologies have, for the longest time, been overlooked from an innovation standpoint and we take the view that a good volatility forecasting method can lead to enhanced performance.”

El-Boukfaoui adds: “Dr. Engle has spent his career solving for the volatility forecasting problem as an indicator for price actions, and the goal of our collaboration is to bring an innovation that positively impacts the financial outcome of investors.”

“The heart of a good volatility-control mechanism is a good forecast of volatility,” said Dr. Robert Engle. These indices are designed to give investors exposure to benchmarks with a competitive risk-return profile by applying an innovative forward-looking intraday volatility control based on a volatility forecasting model.

The model is based on Dr. Engle’s research and aims at producing a more reactive intraday allocation mechanism that can rapidly adapt to changing market conditions and more accurately predict volatility by using a variation of the ARCH model.

The real – time display of the live – selling effect is conducive to creating a live – streaming atmosphere and promoting team collaboration.

The two major modules of [Viewing Data] and [Marketing Data] have been upgraded. Centered around the statistics of live – streaming room traffic and transaction situations, they cover key indicators such as the cumulative number of viewers, the proportion of average viewing time, the total number of orders, the number of user transactions, the click – to – conversion rate, and the number of coupon redemptions. This can help knowledge monetizers deeply understand the interests and retention of the audience, facilitate the assessment of customer intentions and follow – up strategies, and is beneficial for in – depth user development.

Enterprises can flexibly configure payment methods according to business scenarios. Customers can choose to pay via Alipay within the WeChat ecosystem, which effectively improves the user shopping experience. In addition, the association logic between live – streaming and coupons has been optimized. After the upgrade, even when the live – streaming status is “in progress” or “not started”, the product coupons created in the background can be automatically synchronized to the live – streaming, eliminating the need for manual operation. This greatly reduces the workload of live – streaming staff and improves the efficiency of live – streaming operations. More importantly, it supports the editing of drainage settings for completed live – streams. Enterprises can modify the payment jump switch, guiding titles and descriptions, invitation QR codes, etc., enabling them to adjust marketing and promotion strategies in a timely manner according to the live – streaming effect and market feedback.
