New Tabula ETF on Xetra: US and European investment grade credit default swaps

September 9, 2020--Since Wednesday, a new Exchange Traded Fund issued by Tabula is tradable on Xetra and Börse Frankfurt.
The Tabula Global IG Credit Curve Steepener UCITS ETF (EUR) Acc gives investors the opportunity to invest in credit default swaps with investment grade rating from Europe (iTraxx Index) and the USA (CDX IG Index).

Both the iTraxx Europe and the CDX IG Index each contain 125 credit default swaps (CDS). In order to benefit from a steeper credit curve, a long position is opened in the most recently issued five-year CDS and a short position in the most recently issued ten-year CDS. In order to maintain the current CDSs at all times, the indices are reviewed on a monthly basis.

Credit default swaps are instruments through which banks in particular pass on the default risk of their borrowers to third parties, so-called guarantors. The guarantors receive a premium for this. In return, they commit to make a compensation payment to the bank if the borrower is in arrears with his payments or defaults.

Climate finance: an agenda for EU coordination with emerging markets

September 9, 2020-Addressing the challenge of financing the low-carbon transition will require substantial investment in the European Union and in emerging and developing economies. Sustainable finance frameworks have proliferated in advanced and emerging markets but fragmentation of financial flows due to different classification systems and standards for green financial instruments is a real risk.

Ensuring consistency should be a core agenda for the new International Platform on Sustainable Finance.
Estimates suggest that about 70% of the infrastructure investment needed for the low-carbon transition will have to be deployed in the emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs). Countries’ updated nationally determined commitments, which are due ahead of the COP-26 UN climate summit in 2021, will underline the scale of this challenge. They are bound to highlight considerable financing shortfalls as resources from national budgets and development funds will be scarce in the aftermath of the current recession.

Economists stick to Brexit forecasts despite no-deal rhetoric

September 7, 2020--Economists stuck to their forecasts on Monday that Britain and the European Union would agree some sort of post-Brexit trade deal, taking the view that London is likely toughening its rhetoric in a bid to pressure Brussels into a compromise.

The talks are back in crisis and the pound is bearing the brunt on renewed fears of a disorderly exit from the EU after the British government was reported to be planning legislation to override parts of the Withdrawal Agreement it signed in January.
