New EDHEC study of private infrastructure debt shows that defining 'infrastructure' correctly pays off for investors

October 3, 2017--A new paper analysing the characteristics of the EDHEC Infrastructure Institute private debt index shows that private infrastructure debt only delivers better risk-adjusted returns than corporate debt when it is narrowly and correctly defined.

The matter of defining infrastructure investment adequately for investment and regulation purposes is still a point of debate. In the case of private infrastructure debt, this EDHEC paper uses new data allowing a direct comparison between the debt of infrastructure project finance vehicles and that of corporate entities in the infrastructure sector.

Lipper-Monday Morning Memo: A call for more transparency in the European mutual funds industry

October 2, 2017--Even though investors and regulators want to know as many details as possible about the holdings of the mutual funds they own, the fund industry-especially in Europe-tries to hold back as much information as possible.

From my point of view, it is in the best interest of investors to see the full holdings of funds and not only the allocation at the level of sectors and regions. Investors want to be able to estimate the risk/return profile of the holdings in their portfolios. I do not say this very often, but when it comes to regulatory policies, the interest by regulators in the full holding-as expressed by the launch of the SOLVENCY II regulation-is understandable.
