EBC Financial Group and Brokeree Solutions Forge Strategic Knowledge Partnership to Empower Global Trading Community

Collaboration combines trading expertise and technology to deliver smarter strategies, education, and tools for traders worldwide

LONDON, June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — EBC Financial Group (EBC), a global leader in financial brokerage and asset management, is proud to announce a strategic knowledge partnership with Brokeree Solutions, a cutting-edge technology provider serving multi-asset brokers worldwide. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in EBC’s mission to build a transparent, education-driven investment community, bringing together two industry leaders to share expertise, innovative technologies, and actionable insights for the benefit of traders and investors around the globe.

At the heart of this partnership is a joint commitment to knowledge sharing, with a strong focus on copy trading, a fast-evolving space that empowers both novice and seasoned traders. EBC and Brokeree will co-develop educational content and practical insights tailored to traders, brokers, and signal providers, helping them apply effective risk management tools, adopt best practices, and enhance their overall trading performance.

“At EBC Financial Group, our mission is to build a transparent, inclusive investment community where traders are empowered through access to the right tools, insights, and education,” said David Barrett, CEO of EBC Financial Group (UK) Ltd. “This knowledge partnership with Brokeree Solutions goes beyond technology — it’s about leveraging shared expertise to create a more confident, results-driven trading environment. Together, we’re building a platform where both new and experienced traders can learn, grow, and thrive.”

A Technology-Backed Knowledge Partnership

Brokeree Solutions contributes its turnkey Social Trading investment system, enabling users to register as either professional traders or followers directly through a broker’s platform. The system features advanced stop-loss/take-profit controls, proportional trade copying, and symbol-specific signal filtering, all designed to support safe, flexible trading.

EBC complements this with its global market expertise, investor-centric approach, and commitment to transparency, helping traders understand and apply copy trading as an educational tool, especially valuable in today’s complex financial landscape. By making professional-level tools accessible to a wider audience, the partnership transforms copy trading into a gateway for skill development and market participation.

Content and Webinar Series to Strengthen Trading Knowledge

As part of this knowledge-driven collaboration, EBC and Brokeree are introducing a monthly article series starting this May, covering a wide range of trading and investment topics. These insights will be designed to address real-world challenges faced by traders and provide actionable strategies to improve performance, risk control, and decision-making. Each article will tap into the shared expertise of both companies and will be published across digital channels to benefit the wider trading community.

Additionally, the partnership will feature a quarterly webinar series, bringing traders, brokers, and signal providers together for deep-dive discussions on high-impact topics. The first webinar, launching soon, will explore Risk Management, a critical area for both individual and institutional traders. The session will examine practical techniques, platform-level risk tools, and best practices to help participants strengthen their trading discipline and capital protection.

These initiatives aim not only to educate but also to foster engagement and dialogue within the trading community, ensuring that knowledge flows both ways, from experts to users, and from the front lines of trading back to those shaping the technology and strategy.

“We value our clients’ trust in our technology and expertise. The partnership will provide traders and signal providers worldwide to examine advanced copy trading features that will help adjust copy trading strategy and increase the efficiency of risk management tools applied,” said Tatiana Pilipenko, Regional Head of Business Development (APAC, UK, Americas) at Brokeree Solutions. “This platform empowers brokers to cultivate a more inclusive and risk-informed trading environment, ultimately driving growth and strengthening relationships with trading communities.”
This knowledge partnership underscores the shared vision of EBC and Brokeree: a future where technology, education, and transparency converge to empower traders worldwide. As financial markets grow increasingly complex, the collaboration aims to equip every trader – from beginners to experts – with the tools, confidence, and understanding they need to make smarter, more informed decisions.

Through these collaborations, EBC and Brokeree are not just advancing the future of copy trading, they are laying the foundation for a more informed, connected, and resilient investment community.

HDFC ERGO General Insurance Wins Duck Creek Standard of Excellence Customer Award at Formation ’25

The integration of new technology solutions by Duck Creek will enhance operational efficiency and customer experience for the insurer

BOSTON, June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Duck Creek Technologies, the global intelligent solutions provider defining the future of property and casualty (P&C) and general insurance, today announced HDFC ERGO General Insurance Company Limited (HDFC ERGO), India’s leading private sector general insurer, as a 2025 Standard of Excellence Customer Award winner at Formation ’25, its flagship customer conference held in Orlando, Florida. A digital-first company, transforming into an AI-first company, HDFC ERGO is a leading general insurer of India, which is known for introducing pioneering and futuristic tech solutions in the Indian insurance landscape to offer its customers the best-in-class service experience.

The Duck Creek Standard of Excellence Customer Awards recognize customers who have achieved the highest level of excellence through their implementation of Duck Creek solutions and who have a vision to advance their business, while reimagining the future of insurance. HDFC ERGO earned recognition for accelerating product launches, streamlining system integration, and increasing market agility using Duck Creek’s solutions, including Policy, Billing, Rating, and Insights.

The Indian insurance market is undergoing a major transformation with a growing customer demand and the need for hyper-personalized services. The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) has also been encouraging the insurers to develop agile and customer-centric products so as to fuel insurance inclusion among diverse demographics and across the diverse geographies in the country. HDFC ERGO’s adoption of Duck Creek’s low-code, highly configurable platform to design a pioneering AI-enabled, real-time policy issuance system marks a significant milestone, where now the insurer has transformed the end-to-end process for its Health and Fire lines of business.

“At HDFC ERGO, our endeavour has been to offer best-in-class solutions and experience to our customers. The behaviour and requirements of today’s customers have evolved to a great extent, where they expect dynamic, hyper-personalized, and innovative solutions, and the insurance industry is not an exception in this changed ecosystem. Hence as a customer-focused organization, we were looking for a technology partner, who would enable us to offer innovative products, efficient services, and better analytical insights in an integrated manner to provide a seamless experience to our customers. The tech enablement from Duck Creek matched perfectly to this requirement,” said Sriram Naganathan, President & CTO at HDFC ERGO General Insurance Company Limited. “We are happy and honored to receive the Duck Creek Standard of Excellence Award. We believe with these new tech enhancements we will set a new benchmark in the insurance industry and propel the cause of insurance inclusion in India — thus also supporting the vision of ‘Insurance for All by 2047’ of IRDAI— the Indian insurance regulator.”

The scale of the project was massive, involving over 45 business users, 150+ IT developers working in parallel across seven systems integrator partners, designing 300+ product covers, 300+ business rules, and executing 10,000+ test scenarios. The solutions were delivered in only nine months, with their commercial fire product first to go live, followed by their health product soon thereafter. Key results include:

  • Product launch time reduced from 4-5 months to just four weeks, allowing rapid response to market demands and regulatory changes.
  • Dramatic productivity gains for agents with quotes generated almost instantly and agents able to offer 4-5 alternative product options rather than just a single choice.
  • Operational efficiency and risk reduction by drastically reducing manual data entry, minimizing compliance risks, and improving accuracy. Straight-through processing completed tasks in just 3-4 minutes, instead of hours or days.
  • Elevated customer experience driven by policies now being processed in near real time, instead of in hours and days. Customers are now also offered data-driven product recommendations and better-suited options, leading to improved engagements.

“We are proud to honor HDFC ERGO General Insurance with the 2025 Standard of Excellence Customer Award,” said Christian Erickson, Vice President and General Manager, APAC at Duck Creek Technologies. “HDFC ERGO’s digital transformation stands as a benchmark for innovation and execution in the insurance industry. As our first customer in the in India market, we are thrilled to be HDFC ERGO’s strategic partner, with our suite of products helping drive meaningful business outcomes and value for the business, their customers, and shareholders. HDFC ERGO exemplifies the forward-thinking, customer-focused approach that defines the future of insurance. We congratulate them on this well-deserved recognition.”

BBAI DEADLINE: ROSEN, LEADING INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. Investors with Losses in Excess of $500K to Secure Counsel Before Important June 10 Deadline in Securities Class Action – BBAI

NEW YORK, June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BBAI) between March 31, 2022 and March 25, 2025, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important June 10, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased BigBear.ai securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the BigBear.ai class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=37621 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than June 10, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) BigBear.ai maintained deficient accounting review policies related to the reporting and disclosure of certain non-routine, unusual, or complex transactions; (2) as a result, BigBear.ai incorrectly determined that the conversion option within the 2026 Convertible Notes qualified for the derivative scope exception under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-40 and failed to bifurcate the conversion option as required by ASC 815-15; (3) accordingly, BigBear.ai had improperly accounted for the 2026 Convertible Notes; (4) the foregoing error caused BigBear.ai to misstate various items in several of BigBear.ai’s previously issued financial statements; (5) as a result, these financial statements were inaccurate and would likely need to be restated; (6) BigBear.ai would require extra time and expense to correct the inaccurate financial statements, thereby increasing the risk that BigBear.ai would be unable to timely file certain financial reports with the SEC; and (7) as a result, BigBear.ai’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the BigBear.ai class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=37621 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

With the strength of their combined teams and platforms, I believe this unified company will have an even greater impact on the future of programmatic media.”

What Equativ has achieved through this unification is not just scale but clarity: a platform that simplifies execution, respects the user experience, and delivers real and sustainable outcomes.

The British Council drives educational innovation through Action Research, benefiting educators worldwide

  • The British Council has established itself as a key facilitator of international educational improvement by supporting Action Research as a platform that has delivered tangible progress in schools worldwide.
  • Innovative educator-led research projects have improved teaching and learning in countries such as Pakistan, Egypt and Colombia, delivering measurable results in schools.
  • An AI-based maths project enhanced students’ understanding and performance. 80% reported that using digital platforms strengthened their problem-solving skills through active learning and critical thinking.

ISLAMABAD, June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Through the Action Research programme, the British Council supports educational improvement worldwide. As the UK’s organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities, it plays a key role in facilitating global progress in education.

Presentation Action Grants Programme

Presentation Action Grants Programme

This initiative not only provides educators with funding, mentoring, and resources to implement research findings directly in their classrooms but also fosters the exchange of best practices among schools and teaching communities. Its impact cascades through local forums and Partner School events, reaching school leaders, teachers, and ultimately students. The programme has already resulted in tangible improvements in participating schools and underscores the British Council’s commitment to evidence-based, forward-looking education.

The British Council Partner Schools’ Action Research programme supported twelve researchers from nine countries—Pakistan, Egypt, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Ghana, Jordan, Zimbabwe, Peru, and Colombia—on projects focused on leadership, continuous professional development (CPD), and technology, addressing shared global challenges in education.

Presentation Action Grants Programme

Presentation Action Grants Programme

The projects revealed key insights into technology, teacher development, and leadership as drivers of educational improvement. Many focused on digital learning, AI, and online platforms, reflecting a keen global interest in technology to support education. In Colombia, 80% of students reported that digital tools improved their skills, especially in problem-solving and critical thinking. Research on CPD shows that group reflection on individually completed training leads to greater gains in teaching quality and student outcomes than isolated professional development.

Leadership was also key: in Pakistan, one of the four projects, empowered female students through academic achievement, extracurricular engagement, and leadership roles that challenge gender norms and drive community change. Across all projects, inclusive participation—from students to families and school leaders—proved essential to identifying needs and co-creating effective, lasting solutions.

The new publication Action Research for Schools: Global Stories of School Improvement presents these findings and practical solutions to help schools worldwide address similar challenges.

“Backed by the British Council’s support, four researchers in Pakistan went above and beyond—delivering meaningful change in their schools and contributing to a culture of continuous improvement,” said Maarya Rehman, Deputy Country Director, British Council Pakistan.

Building on its success, the British Council has launched the second year of the programme awarding grants to thirteen new researchers. Visit our website to learn more.

A trusted partner, we help improve education quality, supporting learners worldwide to achieve their potential through UK education and qualifications.

Unity Group Unveils World’s First ESG Light Certified for Carbon Credits, Delivering Nearly 90% Energy Savings

HONG KONG SAR – EQS Newswire – 9 June 2025 – As sustainable development continues to gain momentum worldwide, the carbon emissions market presents immense growth potential. Hong Kong-listed Unity Group Holdings International Ltd (Unity) (1539.HK) recently unveiled the world’s first ESG Light certified for carbon credits. Its continued promotion will support global sustainability efforts while unlocking substantial growth opportunities for the company.

2025 Carbon Credit and ESG Ecosystem Conference

Unveiling World’s First ESG Carbon-Credit Light

At the Carbon Credit and ESG Ecosystem 2025 Conference held at Universiti Putra Malaysia, Synergy ESCO, the Malaysian subsidiary of Unity Group, unveiled the world’s first ESG Light certified for carbon credit eligibility.

Appearing like a conventional lighting fixture, the ESG Light integrates advanced energy-saving technologies, offering ultra-high energy efficiency and an exceptionally long lifespan. Operating at 4.5 watts, it delivers an estimated 89% energy savings compared to traditional lighting. Its projected lifespan is 180,000 hours. It could function for approximately 40 years based on 12 hours of daily use.

Its greatest advantage is to generate carbon credits. Synergy can claim corresponding carbon emission rights and trade them in the carbon market, making such product a valuable financial asset.

Unity Group plans to partner with the Selangor State Government in Malaysia on the Green One Day community programme, retrofitting 6,000 apartment units with its ESG Lights. It is expected to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 25 million tons of CO₂, equivalent to the carbon absorption capacity of 630 million trees.​​ Over the next decade, Unity Group stands to benefit from the ongoing generation of carbon credits under this project.

Unity Group operates across a range of sectors, including independent energy-saving solutions, renewable energy, and ESG-driven digital vertical indoor farming.

It is also the first company to implement carbon credit management. Through the promotion of such product, it is driving large-scale energy savings and emissions reductions, while generating revenue through carbon trading. The launch of this light marks an important milestone for Unity Group.

Expanding Multi-Sector Adoption to Advance Sustainable Development

The concept of sustainable development is gaining widespread momentum. To meet their sustainability goals, countries are ramping up efforts to promote and adopt a variety of energy-saving and emission-reduction technologies and products. Take China for example,clean energy sources like wind and solar power are experiencing rapid growth. In the first quarter of this year, the installed capacity of wind and solar energy surpassed that of coal-fired power for the first time.

Malaysia has also set a net-zero emission target, committing to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. It is working to significantly increase its share of renewable energy consumption to meet this goal.

In February 2022, Unity Group undertook a large-scale energy-saving project in Selangor, Malaysia. It aimed to improve lighting efficiency in residential buildings by installing ultra-high-efficiency lighting systems. The total energy savings generated during the contract term will be converted into revenue.

Besides, Unity Group plans to integrate its ESG Lights into digital ESG agriculture. This project is expected to cut energy consumption by 70% while increasing crop yields tenfold. Once this model is implemented, it will unlock significant growth potential for Unity Group. Adoption of related products across various sectors will also contribute to global sustainable development.

Today, Unity Group’s operations span Malaysia, Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong, Japan, Indonesia, the Middle East, South Africa, and other regions. Unity Group is also actively pursuing a listing in Malaysia, which could make it the first Hong Kong-listed firm to achieve such a dual listing in Malaysia.
