Sustainability rules are not a block on EU defence financing, but reputational fears are

March 17, 2025--To mobilise private capital for weapons, the European Commission should clarify the status of defence investing in its sustainable finance framework
The European Commission's ReArm Europe plan, published on 5 March, aims to trigger €800 billion in defence investments over four years. European Union money would be limited to €150 billion in the form of loans and the plan hinges on increasing military spending by national governments and "mobilising private capital" 1

But without clarification on the acceptability of and need for defence investment within the EU sustainable finance framework, the private sector is unlikely to meet these expectations.

Regulatory constraints are flexible

The EU's sustainable finance rules do not place overarching restrictions on defence investment, but there are restrictions on financing companies involved in the production of 'controversial weapons'-which are defined as "those referred to in international treaties and conventions, United Nations principles and, where applicable, national legislation" (Regulation (EU) 2020/1818).

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.
