Volta system does not show collection points in six municipalities of the Alentejo

The portal of Sistema Volta, which allows the collection of packaging through a deposit and refund system, did not show any collection point this Thursday in six municipalities of Alentejo: Alvito, Barrancos, Fronteira, Marvão, Mora and Mourão. The managing entity of the system states, however, that only the municipality of Mora does not effectively have a collection point registered in the region, suggesting that the absence of information in the other municipalities may be a technical issue with the portal. The system, which has been operating since April 10, aims to facilitate packaging recycling through a deposit and refund mechanism.

Schroders says the 60/40 rule is not dead, but needs adjustments in the face of stagflation risk

Schroders argues that the classic 60/40 investment rule (60% equities, 40% bonds) is not dead but needs adjustments in stagflation scenarios. Duncan Lamont's analysis, based on 100 years of data, concludes that diversification is less reliable but does not disappear entirely, as the 60/40 portfolio outperformed isolated equities and bonds in stagflation years. The main recommendation is to shorten bond maturity to reduce sensitivity to yield rises, and consider floating rate instruments such as leveraged loans. Schroders also suggests increasing exposure to commodities and hedge funds as alternative diversifiers, and identifying defensive sectors such as healthcare and styles such as quality and value as more resilient in a stagflationary environment.

The article addresses the discrepancies between SDR Portugal data and the reality regarding collection points of the Volta system in Portugal. According to the managing entity, only five municipalities have no registered points, but the website indicates 16, information that is outdated according to the source. Mayors from Oleiros, Mourão and Mora report difficulties for residents to access the deposit and refund system, highlighting failures in communication and implementation of the system in several municipalities.
