New EU low-carbon benchmarks boost for sustainable investment

February 25, 2019--The EU Council and Parliament reached a preliminary agreement Monday on a proposal for new financial benchmarks aimed at giving greater information on an investment portfolio's carbon footprint.

The agreement creates two new categories of low-carbon benchmarks: a climate-transition benchmark and a specialised benchmark which brings investment portfolios in line with the Paris Agreement goal to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5ENTITY° above pre-industrial levels.

Monday Morning Memo: European Investors Shy Further Away From Mutual Funds in January 2019

February 24, 2019--The negative trend with regard to fund flows in Europe continued in January, even as the securities markets showed a rebound. As a consequence, January was the ninth month in a row long-term mutual funds posted net outflows after 16 consecutive months of net inflows.

It was surprising that bond funds (+€12.7 bn) were the best-selling asset type in the segment of long-term mutual funds, followed by real estate funds (+€1.0 bn). All other asset types faced outflows: alternative UCITS funds (-€7.7 bn), equity funds (-€7.4 bn), mixed-asset funds (-€3.5 bn), commodity funds (-€1.1 bn), and "other" funds (-€1.0 bn).

These fund flows added up to overall net outflows of €7.0 bn from long-term investment funds for January. ETFs contributed inflows of €8.1 bn to these flows. FCA says Mifid II to cut investor costs by £1bn. New EU rules on the funding of investment research are set to deliver £1bn in savings for UK fund investors over the next five years, the Financial Conduct Authority has said.

February 21, 2019--Held in Frankfurt am Main on Wednesday and Thursday, 23-24 January 2019
1. Review of financial, economic and monetary developments and policy options
Financial market developments
Mr Cœuré reviewed the latest financial market developments. In the first few weeks of 2019 volatility had remained elevated across different market segments, in particular in equity and commodity markets.

Brent oil prices had declined further after the Governing Council's previous monetary policy meeting on 12-13 December 2018 but had since recovered. The volatility in oil prices was evidence of the heightened geopolitical uncertainty and its impact on oil supply, as well as concerns about the global growth outlook and its impact on oil demand.

Deutsche Borse increases transparency in ETF trading

February 21, 2019--New key indicator provides information on trading costs over the course of the trading day
Deutsche Börse is providing ETF investors with a new key indicator: The iXLM (intraday Xetra liquidity measure) provides information on how trading costs of an ETF have developed over the course of a trading day. This allows investors to deduce the period in which the trading costs of an ETF were particularly low and to take this information into account for future decisions.

The individual key indicator is available for all ETFs traded on Xetra.

Implicit trading costs amount to a significant part of the total trading costs. By taking the iXLM into account, investors can save on average up to 30 percent of these costs in ETF trading, depending on the time of day," says Stephan Kraus, responsible for the ETF segment at Deutsche Börse.
