European Commission-Summer 2019 Economic Forecast: Growth clouded by external factors

July 10, 2019--The European economy is set for its seventh consecutive year of growth in 2019, with all Member States' economies due to expand. Growth in the euro area was stronger than expected in the first quarter of the year due to a number of temporary factors such as mild winter conditions and a rebound in car sales.

It also benefited from fiscal policy measures, which boosted household disposable income in several Member States. The near-term outlook for the European economy, however, is clouded by external factors including global trade tensions and significant policy uncertainty. These have continued to weigh on confidence in the manufacturing sector, which is the most exposed to international trade, and are projected to weaken the growth outlook for the remainder of the year.

IMF Staff Country Report-Germany: Selected Issues

July 10, 2019--WEALTH INEQUALITY AND PRIVATE SAVINGS IN GERMANY1
Does the large current account surplus in Germany reflect export-driven income gains that are evenly shared among the population? The evidence strongly suggests this is not the case and underscores the important role of German business wealth concentration in this context.

As high corporate savings and underlying profits largely reflect capital income accruing to wealthy households and increasingly retained in closely-held firms, the buildup of external imbalance has been accompanied by widening top income inequality, rising private savings and compressed consumption rates.

A. Introduction
1. Germany is the world's leading exporter of high value-added manufacturing goods and, following the Euro adoption, has steadily increased its current account surplus and netforeign asset position.

Monday Morning Memo: Why Asset Managers Should Have an ETF Strategy

July 8, 2019--By looking at annual flow numbers and assets under management, it is clear that exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are more than just a trend.

Some market observers are already concerned, as they expect ETFs to take over the majority of assets under management for investment vehicles in the foreseeable future. Even as this might be too optimistic, it seems like ETFs have become a threat for active managers, as more investors are considering ETFs as their investment vehicle of choice. With regard to this, all fund promoters need a strategic view on their role in the competition between ETFs and traditional mutual funds.
