Monday Morning Memo: Why Asset Managers Should Have an ETF Strategy
July 8, 2019--By looking at annual flow numbers and assets under management, it is clear that exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are more than just a trend.
Some market observers are already concerned, as they expect ETFs to take over the majority of assets under management for investment vehicles in the foreseeable future. Even as this might be too optimistic, it seems like ETFs have become a threat for active managers, as more investors are considering ETFs as their investment vehicle of choice. With regard to this, all fund promoters need a strategic view on their role in the competition between ETFs and traditional mutual funds.

Monday Morning Memo: Don't Panic About Illiquid Holdings in Mutual Funds
July 1, 2019-The closure of the Woodford Income Fund has led to wide discussion about illiquid holdings in mutual funds. As a result of this discussion, asset managers have come under pressure as investors have begun to sell positions in funds in which they have identified illiquid holdings.
Even as this reaction is in some cases understandable, the high level of outflows in some funds is surprising, since some of these funds now under pressure were quite clear about these holdings. Even if they weren't, these holdings shouldn't be a surprise to professional investors or advisors, since it is one of the duties of a fund analyst to evaluate the investment style of a fund manager and the respective risk of the portfolio to conduct an appropriate recommendation.
