Redefining Europe's economic sovereignty

June 25, 2019--This Policy Contribution delves into the position of the EU in the current global order. China and the United States increasingly trying to gain geopolitical advantage using their economic might. The authors examine the specific problems that China and the US pose for European economic sovereignty, and consider how the EU and its member states can better protect European economic sovereignty.

Europeans like to believe the European Union has the collective economic size and capacity to determine its own economic destiny. But the behaviour of others global powers is increasingly calling this ability into question. China and the United States, especially, do not separate economic interests from geopolitical interests in the same way the EU does. They are increasingly using economic connections, from cyberspace to financial links, to gain geopolitical advantage or to serve geopolitical goals.

Monday Morning Memo: European Fund-Flow Trends-Bonds Weathered the Storm in May

June 24, 2019--The negative fund-flows trend in Europe continued in May. As a consequence, May was the thirteenth month in a row long-term mutual funds posted net outflows after 16 consecutive months of net inflows.

Taking the current interest rate environment into account, it was surprising that bond funds (+€5.0 bn) were once again the best-selling asset type in the segment of long-term mutual funds, followed by real estate funds (+€1.0 bn) and commodity funds (+€0.3 bn). All other asset types faced outflows: equity funds (-€22.0 bn), alternative UCITS funds (-€5.7 bn), mixed-asset funds (-€5.2 bn), and “other” funds (-€0.4 bn).

These fund flows added up to overall net outflows of €27.0 bn from long-term investment funds for May. ETFs contributed inflows of €2.3 bn to these flows.

June 24, 2019--THE SWISS FRANC-LIVING IN A MULTIPOLAR WORLD1
A. Introduction
1. With Switzerland being a globally integrated small open economy, major international currencies and their associated monetary policies likely provide important reference points for the Swiss franc and the operation of Swiss monetary policy.

Nonetheless, the behavior of the Swiss franc relative to the US dollar and to the euro has shifted significantly during the past decade:

Before 2010, the franc was relatively stable against the euro, while its movements against the US dollar paralled those of the euro vis-a-vis the dollar;

New research by BETTER FINANCE on the Correlation between Costs and Performance of EU Retail Equity Funds without a doubt establishes a negative correlation between returns and fees

June 20, 2019--Common knowledge has it that if you want to beat the market, you need to turn to highly active management...at a price.
As part of its #FundResearch series, BETTER FINANCE decided to put this notion to the test and take a closer look at the main factors impacting fund performance and the ability to deliver above-market returns, with a special focus on costs.

BETTER FINANCE measured the performance over the last ten years of EU equity retail funds from Belgium, France and Luxembourg in comparison with their benchmarks and found that only 27% of surviving funds with a sufficiently long track record managed to overperform the market over 5-year rolling quarterly periods. This confirms that few active fund managers are able to offset the impact of the fees they charge and that it is mostly up to luck whether an investment will beat the market.
