Monday Morning Memo: European Fund Industry Review Q1 2019

April 29, 2019--The European fund industry faced estimated net outflows of €58.3 bn in Q1 2019. These outflows came after the first year with estimated net outflows since 2012.

The flows were mainly driven by the discussions about a possible trade war between the U.S. and China, a possible return of the Euro crisis caused by developments in Italy and France, an environment of rising interest rates in the U.S., and a general economic slowdown with decreasing earnings at the company level.

Nevertheless, since the equity markets showed a rebound over the course of Q1 2019, one would have expected to see net inflows into mutual funds. That said, even as the general environment was negative, some fund promoters still enjoyed significant inflows. It was also not surprising to witness that the European fund industry experienced further mergers and acquisitions on the asset manager side, as well as in the service provider segment.

Assets Under Management in the European Fund Industry
The assets under management in the European fund industry increased from €9.9 tr to €10.4 tr in 2019 year to date. This increase was driven by the performance of the underlying markets (-€542.2 bn), while net sales contributed outflows of €58.3 bn.

Vienna Stock Exchange expands ATX index offering with new leverage indices

April 26, 2019--(Vienna) The Vienna Stock Exchange launches new leverage indices on the leading Austrian index ATX, thus expanding its existing range of indices. The new indices with a leverage of 12 and 15 are based on the ATX Net Total Return.

The benchmarks take into account the net dividends of the index members. With this expanded offer, the Vienna Stock Exchange is responding to the demand of international market participants.

Leverage indices refer to an existing index (reference index) and represent its performance with a leverage fixed at the start of the index. This leverage function allows the leverage index to participate disproportionately in the daily performance of the benchmark index, both in positive and negative movements.

Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank abandon merger talks

April 25, 2019--Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank have abandoned merger talks, saying the deal would have been too risky.

Both banks said the deal would not have generated "sufficient benefits" to offset the costs of the deal.
The German banks only entered formal merger talks last month.

The German government had been supporting the tie-up, with reports saying Finance Minister Olaf Sholz wanted a national champion in the banking industry.

The government still owns a 15.5% stake in Commerzbank, acquired after the bank was bailed out following the financial crisis.
