The municipalities of Ponte de Lima, Arcos de Valdevez, Ponte da Barca and Viana do Castelo have joined together again to submit a joint candidacy for Wine City 2027. This is an initiative from Vale do Lima that aims to strengthen the identity, heritage, gastronomy and wine tradition of the region.

The candidacy was presented to the Association of Portuguese Wine Municipalities (AMPV), the entity responsible for organizing and managing this title. Vale do Lima seeks to establish itself as a wine and enotourism territory, with the Loureiro grape variety standing out as a distinctive element of regional identity.

The election of Wine City 2027 is scheduled for September 12, at 4pm, in Vidigueira, during the Intermunicipal Assembly of the AMPV. The result of this vote will determine which municipality or region will receive the Wine City title for 2027.

Schroders: ETFs gain greater prominence in investment portfolios

A Schroders annual survey reveals that actively managed ETFs are gaining greater relevance in investment portfolios, with 94% of respondents stating that these instruments have a role in their portfolios. The main reasons for choosing them are lower cost (70%), intraday liquidity (50%) and flexibility in trading (43%). Investors primarily use these ETFs for diversification (49%), tactical positioning (42%), risk management (33%) and transition management (29%). However, there are still barriers to adoption, such as limited track record (34%), lack of transparency (31%) and complexity associated with derivative-based implementations (30%). Schroders argues that future growth will depend on managers demonstrating clear investment processes and transparency in strategy implementation.
