ESMA Working Paper-ESG funds during the 2020 COVID-19 market turmoil: performance and flows-ESG funds outperformed and received higher net flows than their non-ESG peers
February 24, 2024--Summary:
In this paper we analyse the performance and flows of ESG active equity UCITS funds relative to their non-ESG peers in a period of financial distress, corresponding to the first wave of COVID-19. Compared to other crisis events in the recent past, it has the advantage of looking at a complete exogenous shock affecting the economic and financial market as a whole.
An analysis of performance and flows of EU ESG funds versus EU non-ESG funds during stressed market conditions has been lacking so far. Moreover, it is a first attempt to address the heterogeneity within the cohort of active funds with some active funds significantly outperforming compared to others. The main findings confirm this hypothesis and show that ESG funds outperformed and received higher net flows than their non-ESG peers.

ECB Officials' Full Statement on Bitcoin's Failed Promise and ETFs
February 22, 2024--In their full blog post, European Central Bank Director General Ulrich Bindseil and Advisor Jürgen Schaaf express their view that Bitcoin has not fulfilled its potential as a global, decentralized digital currency.
Bitcoin has failed on the promise to be a global decentralised digital currency and is still hardly used for legitimate transfers. The latest approval of an ETF doesn’t change the fact that Bitcoin is not suitable as means of payment or as an investment.
On 10 January, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for Bitcoin. For disciples, the formal approval confirms that Bitcoin investments are safe and the preceding rally is proof of an unstoppable triumph. We disagree with both claims and reiterate that the fair value of Bitcoin is still zero. For society, a renewed boom-bust cycle of Bitcoin is a dire perspective.
