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.
