EU's Tusk says Brexit "backstop" not renegotiable

January 29, 2019--European Council President Donald Tusk said the EU-UK divorce deal was not up for renegotiation after Britain's parliament on Tuesday voted to replace the Irish "backstop" border arrangement contained in it with unspecified "alternative arrangements".

The backstop is aimed at keeping an open border between EU-member Ireland and British-ruled Northern Ireland after Brexit but is strongly opposed by many in Prime Minister Theresa May's Conservative Party, who say it risks trapping the United Kingdom in a permanent customs union with the European Union.

Monday Morning Memo: European Fund-Flow Trends, December 2018

January 28, 2019--After unexpectedly high outflows in October and November, European investors pulled further away from long-term mutual funds in December as the market environment and general sentiment remained negative. As a consequence, December was the eighth month in a row posting net outflows from long-term mutual funds after 16 consecutive months showing net inflows.

Real estate funds (+€0.5 bn) was the only asset type in the segment of long-term mutual funds with net inflows for December, while all the other asset types witnessed net outflows: bond funds (-€25.9 bn), equity funds (-€18.7 bn), alternative UCITS funds (-€12.2 bn), mixed-asset funds (-€8.7 bn), ”other” funds (-€0.5 bn), and commodity funds (-€0.1 bn).

These fund flows added up to overall net outflows of €65.6 bn from long-term investment funds for December. ETFs contributed inflows of €2.2 bn to these flows.

IMF Working Paper-Reform Options for Mature Defined Benefit Pension Plans: The Case of the Netherlands

January 25, 2019--The Netherlands has been operating fully funded, defined benefit second pillar pension schemes that have consistently ranked high worldwide for delivering high replacement rates while featuring strong solidarity among members.

Yet the long-term sustainability of the Dutch pension funds has been undermined in recent years by protracted low interest rates and unfavorable demographic developments, exacerbating controversies over intergenerational transfer mechanisms within the plans. This has prompted a national debate over ways to move toward more individualization while preserving financial security at retirement for all. This paper draws on this experience, illustrated by stress testing simulations and assessed vis-à-vis solutions implemented in peer countries, to discuss the main policy trade-offs associated with the reform of mature pension systems in advanced economies.

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.
