New EU shareholders' rights rules enter into force

June 10, 2019--The new Shareholder Rights Directive, which entered into force on Monday, addresses corporate governance shortcomings that contributed to the financial crisis, says the EU Commission.
Under the revised Directive, institutional investors and asset managers are required to be transparent about their investment and engagement policy, and to disclose how they take social and environmental impact into account.

There are also new transparency requirements for proxy advisers who advise institutional investors on how to vote in companies' general meetings. With the new rules, the remuneration policy of companies will be more transparent, as will be the actual remuneration of directors.

Monday Morning Memo: Fund Closure-The Hidden Risk of Mutual Funds

June 10, 2019--The news about the closure of the Woodford Income Fund hit the U.K. fund market quite hard-and a number of market observers made this event big news-but the reality is the closure of a fund is nothing unusual. This kind of corporate action happens frequently and is a protection mechanism which is stated in the fund prospectus.

From my perspective, the Woodford case showed once again that investors have to read the prospectus carefully and need to consider the general risks, as some of these risks tend to happen more often than one would expect. That said, the closure of a fund due to high redemptions is a risk for those who want to redeem shares in the respective fund, but is a protection mechanism for those who want to stay invested. A closure period helps the fund manager to gather cash to meet redemptions without being forced to sell securities he may have wanted to keep or which do not have a proper valuation due to a lack of liquidity or other market events.

Modest Growth Ahead for Russia, but Opportunities to Boost Formal Employment, Says World Bank

June 10, 2019--Real GDP growth in Russia surpassed expectations in 2018, reaching 2.3 percent, mostly due to the one-off effects of energy construction. Growth forecasts of 1.2 percent in 2019 and 1.8 percent in both 2020 and 2021 reflect a more modest outlook, in line with Russia's current potential growth of about 1.5 percent, says the World Bank's latest Russia Economic Report (#41 in the series).

In the first quarter of 2019, GDP growth slowed for several reasons, including a VAT rate increase, relatively tight monetary policy, a high base from the previous year, and a slowdown in oil production.

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.
