European Authorities remain mostly blind when it comes to the Past Performance and Costs of Long-term Savings Products, despite first reports ever released

January 24, 2019--Long-term retail savings are the only EU consumer products for which consumers and Public Supervisors not only don't have a clue as to their future performance, but they don't even know what their past performance has been.

On 10 January 2019, following a 2015 request by BETTER FINANCE, the European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) finally released reports on costs and past performance of long-term and pension savings products sold or marketed in the EU. BETTER FINANCE welcomes this first step in the right direction and sympathises with some of the challenges encountered by the ESAs concerning data availability. However, the reports fall short of meeting their objective and of fulfilling the European Commission's request. This situation raises questions about the fulfilment of the investor and consumer protection mandate of the European Authorities.

Lyxor-2018 ETF flows analysis and expectations for 2019

January 23, 2019--Last year proved challenging for investors, bookended as it was by an early market "melt-up" and an even more dramatic late meltdown. It began and ended in chaos amid mounting economic and political uncertainty on both sides of the Atlantic. Nearly all asset classes closed in negative territory.

Unsurprisingly, worldwide ETF flows were well down from their 2017 records. Active managers suffered even more however. Consequently, passive flows were massively above those of their active peers. In fact, ETF flows were in line with their long-term averages, and their role in portfolios has continued to expand. Investors are increasingly convinced that the pursuit of investment success demands they dedicate as much time to choosing between investment vehicles as they do to choosing between asset classes.

Monday Morning Memo: 2018 was an outstanding year for ETFs in Europe

January 21, 2019--The year 2018 was an outstanding year for exchange-traded funds even though it was a tough year for the European fund industry overall. The return of volatility caused by uncertainties coming from a possible trade war between the USA and China, the ongoing Brexit discussions, and a possible return of the euro crisis after the forming of a government in Italy led European investors to reduce the risk in their portfolios.

The corresponding transactions led to overall outflows of -129.2 billion euro from mutual funds registered for sale in Europe over the course of 2018. In contrast to their actively managed peers (-171.4 billion euro), ETFs registered for sale in Europe enjoyed inflows of 42.2 billion euro and had another positive year.
