According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants failed to warn investors that: (1) Defendants favored certain WAMCO strategies, like Macro Opps, over other WAMCO strategies, like Core and Core Plus; (2) Defendants disfavored certain WAMCO strategies, like Core and Core Plus; (3) any 'compliance policies and procedures' that WAMCO maintained 'to result in fair allocations of investment opportunities to clients' were either insufficient to ensure that Leech and his WAMCO Team fairly allocated trades among the strategies they managed or were expressly disregarded by defendants in order to allow the favoring of certain WAMCO strategies at the expense of other WAMCO strategies; (3) any 'oversight mechanisms' that WAMCO maintained were either insufficient to monitor Leech and his WAMCO Team or were expressly disregarded by Defendants in order to allow the favoring of certain WAMCO strategies at the expense of other WAMCO strategies.

Xi Jinping is questioning if all of China should chase the same AI and EV dreams
China's focus on EVs and AI industries is facing challenges amid price wars and overcapacity. Chinese leader Xi Jinping recently questioned if all of China should focus on the same high-tech sectors. China's top leadership has pledged to address intensive hyper-competition and price wars. On Monday, Chinese leader Xi Jinping questioned the country's single-minded focus on a few high-tech sectors. "When it comes to new projects, it's always the same few things: artificial intelligence, computing power, and new energy vehicles," Xi said at a meeting about urban development in Beijing, the Chinese Communist Party's People's Daily reported on Thursday. "Do all provinces in the country have to develop industries in these areas?" Xi asked. Xi's unusually blunt remarks questioning China's industrial strategy come as the country's top leadership recently pledged to curb intense "involutionary" competition. The remarks show a shift from Beijing's usual pushback against Western criticisms over industry overcapacity and cheap exports. The comments reflect growing concerns that China's pursuit of dominance in EVs and AI may be backfiring economically and politically. 'Involution' and a deflationary trap The hyper-competition has become especially acute in the EV sector, where an intense price war has squeezed margins and raised alarms about long-term sustainability. Beijing is now encouraging market consolidation and cracking down on unhealthy practices. These include abuses such as "compelling businesses to sell goods on a below-cost basis," wrote Lynn Song, ING's chief economist for Greater China, last week. This comes as deflationary pressure is worsening. China's producer price index, or PPI fell 3.6% in June, the steepest drop in nearly two years. export frontloading ahead of new US tariffs and temporary consumption subsidies.

Xi Jinping is questioning if all of China should chase the same AI and EV dreams
China bet big on electric vehicles and artificial intelligence — but now its top leader is starting to question whether that bet has gone too far. On Monday, Chinese leader Xi Jinping questioned the country's single-minded focus on a few high-tech sectors. "When it comes to new projects, it's always the same few things: artificial intelligence, computing power, and new energy vehicles," Xi said at a meeting about urban development in Beijing, the Chinese Communist Party's People's Daily reported on Thursday. "Do all provinces in the country have to develop industries in these areas?" Xi asked. Xi's unusually blunt remarks questioning China's industrial strategy come as the country's top leadership recently pledged to curb intense "involutionary" competition. The remarks show a shift from Beijing's usual pushback against Western criticisms over industry overcapacity and cheap exports. The comments reflect growing concerns that China's pursuit of dominance in EVs and AI may be backfiring economically and politically. 'Involution' and a deflationary trap The hyper-competition has become especially acute in the EV sector, where an intense price war has squeezed margins and raised alarms about long-term sustainability. Beijing is now encouraging market consolidation and cracking down on unhealthy practices.

This comes as deflationary pressure is worsening. China's producer price index, or PPI fell 3.6% in June, the steepest drop in nearly two years. That's not just bad news for businesses and China's economy. It also risks fueling trade tensions as Chinese exports become cheaper and flood global markets. China posted GDP growth of 5.3% in the first half of the year. Much of the momentum is likely driven by export frontloading ahead of new US tariffs and temporary consumption subsidies. Beneath the headline numbers, the Chinese economy remains under strain as consumer confidence remains depressed and youth unemployment stays high. "It appears the persistent PPI deflation has finally caught the attention of the top leadership in Beijing," wrote economists at Nomura last week.

Western arms makers can now live-test their prototype weapons on the battlefield against Russia's forces
Ukraine is inviting foreign arms manufacturers to send weapons prototypes for its troops to test in battle against Russian forces. Its defense innovation unit, Brave1, on Thursday launched "Test in Ukraine," a program that it said would trial the new tech in combat and produce a detailed report for the defense contractor. "This is an opportunity to gain experience that cannot be simulated in laboratories," said Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine's minister for digital transformation, at an arms conference in Wiesbaden. Among the program's listed top priorities are uncrewed aerial systems, robot ground vehicles, missiles, and laser weapons. "Test in Ukraine" will require the contractor to teach Ukrainian troops how to use the prototype, though this can optionally be done online, Brave1 said in a statement. After that, Ukraine will assume control over how the tech is used on its frontline. "You hand over your product to Brave1, and we take care of the rest," the organization said on its website. Kyiv also hopes to pair the foreign arms makers with its own manufacturers to produce the tested weapons locally. Ukraine is already a testbed for many NATO weapons against Russian capabilities, from armored vehicles to long-range missiles to anti-tank munitions. But the announcement comes amid some concern in the greater arms industry that contractors may be developing new weapons after studying the Ukraine war, but aren't testing them in combat. "If you are a drone company and you do not have your kit on the frontline in Ukraine, you might as well give up," Luke Pollard, the UK's minister of state for the armed forces, said in May. One British defense executive, Justin Hedges, told Business Insider earlier this month that drones have to be tested daily in combat to avoid becoming obsolete. "If your system is not in day-to-day use on the frontline of Ukraine, it becomes very quickly out of date," Hedges told BI's Mia Jankowicz. Drone warfare has evolved drastically over the last three years of the war. First-person-view UAVs have come to dominate the battlefield, but electronic warfare is increasingly stifling their effectiveness. As a result, unjammable fiber-optic drones are now on the rise, forcing both sides to rely more on low-tech defensive measures such as 12-gauge shotguns to destroy drones kinetically and fishing nets to entangle them mid-flight. Last month, Ukraine debuted a new type of rifle bullet that can discharge fragment spreads at greater range to counter incoming FPV drones. Russian troops were producing their own DIY version months ago. Meanwhile, Ukraine is going all in on bolstering its defense manufacturing industry, offering its local weapons-making experience to Western countries while ramping up production of domestic arms. Its new testing initiative could also provide additional weapons supplies for its troops fighting against Russia's war of attrition, both in manpower and matériel. A spokesperson for Brave1 did not respond to a request for comment sent outside regular business hours. Russia's defense and foreign affairs ministries also did not respond to a similar request sent by BI.
