Algebris launches new fund targeting jumps in volatility

May 28, 2019--Algebris Investments, a $12bn-in-assets hedge fund based in London, has launched a new vehicle designed to profit from a growing tide of computer-driven traders targeting volatility, which some analysts argue has made markets more turbulent.

Monday Morning Memo: European Investors shy away from mutual funds in April

May 27, 2019--The negative fund flows trend in Europe continued in April as the securities markets showed a volatile, but positive, trend. As a consequence, April was the twelfth 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 (+€7.6 bn) were once again the best-selling asset type in the segment of long-term mutual funds, followed by real estate funds (+€0.2 bn) and commodity funds (+€0.1 bn). All other asset types faced outflows: equity funds (-€21.0 bn), alternative UCITS funds (-€8.7 bn), mixed-asset funds (-€3.2 bn), and “other” funds (-€0.6 bn).

These fund flows added up to overall net outflows of €25.7 bn from long-term investment funds for April. ETFs contributed inflows of €3.7 bn to these flows.

Russia: Staff Concluding Statement of the 2019 Article IV Mission

May 24, 2019--Russia's growth prospects will depend on the strength of domestic policies and reforms. GDP growth in the past three years averaged 1.4 percent and is projected at a similar rate in 2019.

External support is expected to be limited, as sanctions, global political and trade uncertainty and lower oil prices have replaced the favorable external conditions that contributed to rapid growth in the 2000s boom. Thus Russia now needs to focus on domestic reforms to improve growth potential. A key building block is the credible macroeconomic framework the authorities have established since 2014, in difficult circumstances, in the form of inflation targeting, exchange rate flexibility and the fiscal rule.
