Monday Morning Memo: New Fee Models May Become a Competitive Edge for Fund Promoters

March 4, 2019--The European asset management industry had a rather rough start in 2019. In regard to this, it is not surprising there is a lot of discussion around current sales trends. From my perspective, these discussions may lead in the wrong direction since sales trends are often driven by the respective market environment and, therefore, are not under the control of the fund promoters.

That said, there are topics which can make a difference between the single fund promoters and, therefore, drive sales. One of these topics is the discussion about fees and expenses. Some asset managers complain about increasing regulatory burdens and the resultant increasing costs which lead to lower profits, as not all costs can be passed on to investors. Some large and well-established asset managers have reviewed their current pricing models and, as a result, are willing to test new ones. In more detail, this means these fund promoters are about to roll out funds with a very low base fee and a performance fee, which will remunerate the value added by the asset manager if the respective funds beat their benchmark; i.e. the fund promoter will only generate a significant income if the funds deliver a value-added compared to passive products for the investor.

IMF Working Papers-How Effective is Macroprudential Policy? Evidence from Lending Restriction Measures in EU Countries

March 1, 2019--Summary:
This paper assesses the effectiveness of lending restriction measures, such as loan-to-value and debt-service-to-income ratios, in affecting developments in house prices and credit. We use data on 99 lending standard restrictions implemented in 28 EU countries over 1990–2018.

The results suggest that lending restriction measures are generally effective in curbing house prices and credit. However, the impact is delayed and reaches its peak only after three years. In addition, the impact is asymmetric, with tightening measures having weaker association with target variables compared to loosening measures. The association is stronger in countries outside of euro area and for legally-binding measures and measures involving sanctions. The results have practical implications for macroprudential authorities.
