$1 Trillion Fleeing London Because of Brexit
January 7, 2019--Banks, insurers and money managers are planning to move about 800 billion pounds ($1 trillion) of assets from the U.K. to the rest of Europe as Brexit uncertainty takes its toll, according to a survey conducted by EY.
Key Insights
Consulting firm EY said its estimate may be low, because many firms haven't publicly declared the value of assets being transferred. According to another group's estimate, as much as 800 billion euros of balance-sheet assets could move to Frankfurt alone.

Monday Morning Memo: Performance Review of Long-Term Mutual Funds Registered for Sale in Europe, Year End 2018
January 7, 2019--The year 2018 was a bumpy ride for the global securities markets as investors faced fears about a global trade war, geopolitical uncertainties and corporate scandals, as well as increasing interest rates. The resulting sluggish performance of the securities markets is also reflected in the average returns of long-term mutual funds registered for sale in Europe (-5.68%) for the year 2018.
That said, a view on the average results does hide that some funds were able to generate solid positive results, even as the respective classification average might be negative.
Real estate funds (+1.54%) had on average the best performance of all long-term mutual funds registered for sale in Europe, followed by bond funds (+1.09%), while all other asset types showed on average negative returns. Equity funds (-10.01%) showed the weakest returns, bettered by commodity funds (-8.09%) and mixed asset funds (-6.86%).
