March 13, 2018--Starting in 2020, banks won't be allowed to use two interest rate benchmarks that have been discredited by allegations of fraud, a top European Union regulator said, putting pressure on the financial sector to find alternatives fast.
The Euro Interbank Offered Rate (Euribor) and Euro Overnight Index Average (Eonia) are used to calibrate monetary policy, price 180 trillion euros ($222.61 trillion) worth of derivatives and, in some countries, to determine interest rates on mortgages.

FCA publishes discussion paper on transforming culture in financial services
March 12, 2018--The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has today published a discussion paper on transforming culture in financial services which presents views from academics and industry thought leaders. The paper is intended to provide a basis for stimulating further debate on transforming culture in the sector.
The paper is a set of essays that discuss what a good culture might look like, the role of regulation and regulators, how firms might go beyond incentives, and how to change behaviour for the better.
Culture and governance is a priority for the FCA and we have a strong focus on the role of the individual as well as the firm. The FCA has considered the role of leaders, incentives and capabilities, and governance of decision making.

Monday Morning Memo: A Brief View of Measures to Identify "Closet Trackers"
March 12, 2018--A topic widely discussed in the European fund industry is actively managed funds that seem simply to follow an index without adding value for investors, while the management company charges fees for active management-so-called closet trackers.
For me it is clear that active funds should add value to investors, either by reducing the risk attached to the market or by generating outperformance compared to their index. In this regard, I agree with the current investigations into these funds by the authorities of some European countries, since retail investors-especially-need protection.
But the point I don't agree with is how the activity of a portfolio manager should be measured. It is mainly done with the so-called active share-a ratio that measures how widely the constituents of a portfolio differ from the constituents of its respective index.

Capital Markets Union: covered bonds, cross-border distribution of investment funds and cross-border transactions in claims and securities
March 12, 2018--How are today's proposals linked to the Capital Markets Union (CMU)?
The Capital Markets Union is one of the priorities of the Juncker Commission to strengthen Europe's economy and stimulate investments to create jobs. The CMU aims to mobilise and channel capital to all businesses in the EU, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that need resources to expand and thrive.
While the CMU will be beneficial for all EU Member States, it will particularly strengthen the Economic and Monetary Union.
Building on progress already achieved since the launch of the CMU in 2015, today's proposals will boost the cross-border market for investment funds, promote the EU market for covered bonds as a source of long-term finance and ensure greater certainty for investors when dealing in cross-border transactions of securities and claims. This will help integrate EU capital markets further by facilitating cross-border operations and increasing legal certainty for companies.
