Why the manager of a $2 billion fund is cooling off his European defense investments
A fund manager who oversees assets worth close to $2 billion told CNBC that the European defense bull run may soon begin to cool off as valuations hit "extreme" levels. Speaking to CNBC's "Europe Early Edition" on Monday, London-based Stephen Yiu, who manages the £1.4 billion ($1.9 billion) Blue Whale Growth Fund , said he had wound down his exposure to the European defense space. Regional defense stocks have seen an extraordinary rise in recent months, fueled by promises from the European Union , regional governments and the NATO military alliance to drastically hike defense spending. The Stoxx Europe Aerospace and Defense index has gained more than 55% since the beginning of the year. Describing the sector as "extremely interesting," Yiu explained that, around 18 months ago, his fund began a position in European defense that included allocating capital to Italian defense champion Leonardo . However, he also suggested that the spectacular rate of growth among European defense stocks may have peaked. "I think the issue with European defense — even though we continue to like the companies or the sector — is the valuation has been quite extreme," Yiu told CNBC. Military aircraft manufacturer Leonardo, which the Blue Whale Growth Fund holds, has gained more than 86% so far this year — and it still isn't one of the sector's biggest movers. French maritime systems maker Exail Technologies is up almost 500% year-to-date, while German defense giants Renk , Hensoldt and Rheinmetall have all tripled in value. LDO-IT R3NK-FF,HAG-DE,RHM-DE,EXA-FR YTD line European defense stocks While Yiu's fund still holds Leonardo stock, it has reduced the size of its holding in recent months. He advised investors to consider valuation in terms of outperformance potential, taking into account how long it could take for Europe's blockbuster fiscal packages to trickle through to corporate earnings. Yiu argued that seeing the direct impact is likely to take "a few years." "Compared to the beginning of the year [with] Leonardo, you would have seen it in our top 10 holdings, which would be a big conviction, part of our mandate," he said. "And over the last few months, you haven't seen it [because] we have actually taken profits." He also cautioned that the entry point into European defense stocks "is probably not today." "The question is, would you still be happy to hold on to it just because it could still contribute to some outperformance?" he added. "I think the answer is yes, but I think the easy money has already been made from European defense at this moment in time."

Italy on Brink of Euro Final, 3 Years After Players Were Permitted to Turn Pro
Italy is one win away from reaching the final of the Women's European Championship, but just three years ago its players couldn't even get professional contracts in their own country. Little wonder veteran captain Cristiana Girelli was in tears after her two goals inspired Italy to a 2-1 victory over Norway last week, and a first semifinal appearance at the tournament in 28 years. The Azzurre next plays defending champion England on Tuesday in Geneva. "It's a great joy to be among the top four in Europe, and it is a happiness that we want to share because we know how important it is to bring home the results in Italy and especially for the new generations," Girelli said, after again wiping the tears from her eyes. "Because obviously we do this for our glory, but there is a much deeper meaning, which we certainly want to bring, which is that in Italy women can play soccer too." Of course they can, although they couldn't hope to make a lot of money for it until 2022 after years of amateur-only status. It was in April of that year that the executive board of the sport's national federation approved new regulations to open the way for a women's professional era starting July 1 — in time for the following Serie A season. A 1981 Italian law limited female players to amateur status, meaning they couldn't earn more than $32,000 per year before taxes. Benefits such as social security contributions, an end-of-career fund, pension, medical protection for injuries and maternity leave were a distant dream. The 35-year-old Girelli and many of her national teammates have experienced the change firsthand, with several of them having had to do hospitality jobs to support their soccer careers. "There were difficult years where we really suffered a lot," Girelli said. The push to make the women's game professional in Italy followed the national team's surprise run to the quarterfinals of the 2019 Women's World Cup. It was also helped by the big clubs — Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Roma and Lazio — starting to invest more in their women's teams. Progress has been slower than in the countries of its traditional soccer rivals — such as England, France and Spain — but Italy is showing signs that it is catching up on the international stage. Under coach Andrea Soncin, Italy is proving it can go toe-to-toe with the top teams, culminating in its first semifinal match at the European tournament since a run to the 1997 final. "It's something magical," Girelli said. "But to tell you the truth, I have felt something special in the air since I arrived in Switzerland. Since the coach took charge of this team, I felt something special. "And you know, women are never wrong with their feelings," she continued with a wry smile. While it hasn't quite reached fever pitch back home, 2.4 million television viewers in Italy — a 16.2% audience share — watched the team's match against Norway and that's likely to be even more for the semifinals. "We hope this love, this affection, this atmosphere that's coming to us from Italy doesn't disappear," Girelli said. "I really hope that with all my heart because we struggled to get here. "We've reached something amazing, something extraordinary, and however it goes, I really hope it continues to feed this passion, this love for us." Reporting by The Associated Press.

A mash made in heaven: New baked potato restaurant hits NOTL
A new baked potato shop opened in Niagara-on-the-Lake today and offered comfort food with enough toppings to warrant a second fork. Scrape restaurant was opened by Gizem Afsar, former executive chef at St. Catharines' Dispatch restaurant, and her husband, Emre, following the restaurant's closure in March. Located at 207 Victoria St. in Old Town, the restaurant's menu is built around loaded baked potatoes, with touches of Turkish flavour inspired by Afsar's roots. It's open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. until mid-fall, with hours to be determined after that. 'We put all our hearts and effort into this place,' said Afsar. 'I hope we can be here for years and years.' Each dish, except for one, starts with a russet potato base topped with butter and cheese, with the option to upgrade to a sweet potato. Customers can choose from house creations or build their own. 'Sort of a street food, but our way,' said Afsar. The surprise menu item, 'The Cool One,' is a sourdough brioche filled with housemade mascarpone ice cream and assorted sauces. This one doesn't include a potato. In fact, Afsar said it's the only item on the menu that doesn't. Afsar's personal favourite is 'The Summer One,' she said, which is topped with roasted zucchini, eggplant, peppers, tomato sauce and a cucumber-yogurt salad — a mix of flavours she grew up with in Turkey. 'It's sort of like my childhood,' she said, adding that another item, the carrot tarator, follows one of her family's original recipes. But if you're after the most popular picks, she said those would be 'The Wild One' and 'The Runny One,' featuring truffle-parmesan and breakfast-inspired flavours, respectively. After Dispatch closed, Afsar and her husband set out to build something of their own and said choosing the right place was key. 'We fell in love with Niagara-on-the-Lake when we first came in,' she said. 'I'm like, 'We need to do this.' She said she enjoys the opportunity NOTL provides to serve a mix of locals and tourists. The couple got the keys to the building on April 1 and spent three months renovating the space. 'It's been a huge three-month renovation,' said Afsar, adding that much of the shop's interior was built by Emre by hand, with help from a cousin. 'We are hoping to turn it into a chain,' she said. 'Maybe we are going to be spreading all over Ontario (and) Canada.' 'Why not?' paigeseburn@ Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request. There was a problem with the recaptcha.
