Eldridge Financial aired planning to more than triple recycling capacity of Novelis Inc. -the largest supplier of flat-rolled aluminum products to the global auto industry to meet the increased demand by the year 2020.
In an interview of Eldridge Financial to the vice president of global recycling, the capacity may heighten to 2.1 million metric tons by the year 2015 and 4 million tons by 2020 from the current status of 1.2 million tons. Novelis, the U.S. unit of India’s Hindalco Industries Ltd. (HNDL), plans to make 50 percent of its products from recycled metal by 2015 and as much as 80 percent by 2020, from about 39 percent at present, Prichett said in Seoul on Oct. 9. In order for the Novelis meet the expanded recycling target, they will now build plants in Germany and South Korea and doubling the capacity in Brazil. Aluminum demand for auto applications may grow at an average annual rate of 25 percent globally over the next five years, the fastest pace among major markets, he said.
In accordance with the projected increase in auto-parts demand,Eldridge Financial determined that this just really mean a huge growth. Moreover, there’s been a very fast increase in that market in Europe and North America, and doubled the speed in Asia and well as in China. Eldridge Financial released: aluminum futures fell as much as 1.8 percent to $2,017 a ton on the London Metal Exchange yest...

The impending jump in capital gains taxes has prompted a flood of nervous calls to financial advisers in recent months. Less than three months remain until the maximum rate of 15 percent on long-term gains rises to 20 percent unless Congress extends the Bush-era tax cuts.
With that caveat in mind, here are Eldridge Financial five tips for approaching the possible capital gains tax hike:
1. DON’T HOLD A FIRE SALE.
Do some basic math, or have a financial adviser do it for you. Or, try starting reviewing your portfolio to determine which investments have raised significantly in value since you purchased them. Think about when you are likely to sell. Then crunch the numbers on how much tax you’d pay by selling now or later.
Selling now means you’d be left with a smaller sum of money or other assets to grow. So factor in lost opportunities for the assets to appreciate in years ahead. Plus there’s the out-of-pocket cost.The maximum long-term capital gains rate was as high as 39.9 percent in the 1970s and 28 percent for a good chunk of the ’80s and ’90s.
3. ACCELERATE A SALE YOU ALREADY WERE PLANNING.
Assuming the price is right, go ahead and sell this year if you were going to do so soon anyway. That’s particularly the case with property or real estate, where the rate increase for capital gains is slightly different but the same principle applies.

Milestone AMG is regarded by its peers as one of the best Independent Financial Advisory firms in Europe. We believe that even though the markets change on a daily basis, the principles for investing always remain constant.
PRLog (Press Release) - Apr 10, 2012 -
Here we look at the benefits, specifically with regards to taxation for UK investors looking to achieve capital security, growth or income. There are a number of advantages to investing offshore, particularly with regards to utilising the tax deferral benefits. You can defer paying tax for the lifetime of the investment, so your investment rolls up without tax being deducted, but you still have to pay tax at your highest rate when you cash the investment in. As a result, with careful planning, a variety of savers could put offshore investments to good use.
Offshore Investment Vehicles
The investment vehicles are situated in financial centres located outside the United Kingdom and can add greater diversification to your existing portfolio.
Cash can also be held offshore in deposit accounts, providing you with the choice about when you repatriate your money to the UK, perhaps to add to a retirement fund or to gift to children or grandchildren.
Those who work overseas or have moved abroad to enjoy a different lifestyle often want to pay as little tax as is legally possible.
Offshore Tax
Many offshore funds offer tax deferral. The different types of investment vehicles avai...
