European approval for semi-transparent ETFs sparks debate
March 10, 2025--Quick Summary:
Luxembourg has only approved semi-transparency for actively managed funds, with passive, index-tracking funds not deemed in need of such protection, but she believed some passive funds would also benefit from shielding their portfolio from the market.
In part, semi-transparent ETFs' slow progress in the US is due to regulations limiting the non-transparent option to ETFs investing purely in US securities, suggesting there might be a wider appetite for the approach if it was more widely available.
Some believe opening the door to semi-transparent ETFs in Europe could widen the type of funds available to investors.

Euronext plan to consolidate ETF trading venues sparks scepticism
March 4, 2025-Industry figures have welcomed ambitious plans by Euronext, the stock exchange group, to consolidate the thousands of exchange traded product listings scattered across its seven bourses on to one venue.
However, some are sceptical about whether Euronext can achieve its aim-particularly by the end of the September, which is believed to be its target-given the political sensitivities around the health of national stock exchanges.
Euronext has more than 3,300 ETP listings spread across the Milan, Amsterdam, Paris, Oslo, Brussels, Dublin and Lisbon exchanges, with many funds listed in several locations.
State Street said it will be responding to the SEC's letter but had no further comment at present.

ECB: Meeting of 29-30 January 2025 Account of the monetary policy meeting of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank
February 27, 2025-- Held in Frankfurt am Main on Wednesday and Thursday, 29-30 January 2025
1. Review of financial, economic and monetary developments and policy options
Financial market developments
Ms Schnabel noted that the financial market developments observed in the euro area after October 2024 had reversed since the Governing Council's previous monetary policy meeting on 11-12 December 2024.
The US presidential election in November had initially led to lower euro area bond yields and equity prices.
Since the December monetary policy meeting, however, both risk-free yields and risk asset prices had moved substantially higher and had more than made up their previous declines. A less gloomy domestic macroeconomic outlook and an increase in the market's outlook for inflation in the euro area on the back of higher energy prices had led investors to expect the ECB to proceed with a more gradual rate easing path.
A bounce-back of euro area risk appetite had supported equity and corporate bond prices and had contained sovereign bond spreads. While the euro had also rebounded recently against the US dollar, it remained significantly weaker than before the US election.
