Dramatic clamp down on peer-to-peer investing in major blow to lenders

June 6, 2019-A week after a prominent lender calls in administrators, regulators limit maximum investments in a bid to protect investors
You've seen the adverts. In fact, with the surprisingly high interest rates seemingly on offer, you'd be forgiven for doing a double take.

At first glance, they look like compelling deals from high street banks or building societies. But these are peer-to-peer businesses-companies that provide loans by attracting small amounts from a large number of individual investors by offering a financial return.

European Semester 2019 Spring Package: Commission issues recommendations for Member States to advance sustainable and inclusive economic growth

June 5, 2019--The European Commission presents today the 2019 country-specific recommendations (CSRs), giving economic policy guidance to all EU Member States for the next 12 to 18 months. The Commission also recommends closing the Excessive Deficit Procedure for Spain and adopts a number of documents under the Stability and Growth Pact.

The European economy is growing for the seventh consecutive year and is set to continue expanding in 2020, with all Member States' economies growing despite less favourable conditions and global uncertainties. The number of people in employment is at a record high and unemployment at a record low. At the same time, there are still significant differences between countries, regions and population groups. Against this backdrop, the Commission calls on Member States to build on the progress made in recent years.

Star Manager Woodford Halts Fund's Redemptions

June 5, 2019--Suspending redemptions highlights problems of holding hard-to-sell assets when investors pull money out quickly
One of the U.K.'s best known money managers has suspended redemptions from his main £3.7 billion ($4.69 billion) fund, drawing fresh attention to the dilemma for investment firms that promise investors they can quickly cash out of funds that hold hard-to-sell assets.

Neil Woodford, who built a formidable reputation as a canny stock picker with contrarian views over more than two decades managing money for U.K.-listed Invesco, closed the gate on his Woodford Equity Income Fund on Monday. The move was made to avoid forced selling of stakes in companies to meet a flood of requests from investors to pull their money out after a run of poor performance.

Austrian Traded Index (ATX): New free float factors for BAWAG Group and Erste Group Bank

June 4, 2019--The Vienna Stock Exchange announces new free float factors for Austrian indices, following the quarterly review of the calculation parameters. Within its leading national index ATX, the free float factor of BAWAG Group AG rises from 0.4 to 0.5, following Cerberus' sale of a large block of shares.

At Erste Group Bank AG, the free float factor will be lowered from 0.8 to 0.7 due to an increase in shares held by the foundation syndicate. The free float factor expresses how many shares of a company are distributed among the public and influences how strongly a share is weighted in the index. The maximum weight of a company in the ATX is capped at 20%, which is currently the case with Erste Group Bank AG.
