Clearstream and HedgePole partner on new alternative fund data service

September 11, 2017--Post-trade services provider Clearstream, which is part of Deutsche Börse Group, and HedgePole, a well-established specialist service and technology provider for hedge funds price and reference data, have entered into a cooperation agreement to provide the market with enhanced alternative fund price and reference data services.

The need to provide specific high quality and up-to-date reference data and pricing to end investors for their holdings in alternative investments, such as hedge funds and private equity, as well as key regulatory requirements for compliance and anti-money laundering purposes are a key industry issue. This has led to the evolution of specific information requirements on an individual customer level. Investors all have their own individual priorities when it comes to data requirements.

Lipper Monday Morning Memo: Should the Rules on Securities Lending in UCITS Funds Be Revised?

September 11, 2017--A topic I hear discussed frequently is securities lending as a modern management technique to increase returns of mutual funds and ETFs.

Even though I see some benefits for the markets in general and investors in specific, I think that securities lending is-under the current regulation regime-a management technique that should not be used for funds sold to retail investors. This opinion may lead to some raised eyebrows from industry participants who don't see a risk for investors coming from securities lending.

New iShares bond ETF launched on Xetra

September 8, 2017--A new exchange traded fund (ETF) issued by iShares has been tradable on Xetra and Börse Frankfurt since Friday.

The iShares USD Floating Rate Bond UCITS ETF EUR Hedged (Dist) enables investors to participate in the performance of floating rate bonds denominated in US dollars issued by companies and quasi-government institutions around the world. Index component criteria include an investment grade rating as well as a minimum term of one month and maximum of five years. The ETF minimises the exchange rate risk between the US dollar and the euro.

Equity ETFs recorded lower inflows at EUR1.2bn. This can be partly explained by limited flows into both developed and emerging market equities. Most of these minor inflows were focused on stronger economies such as the US and German. EM equity ETFs gathered only EUR360M, just half of the 2017 average. Asia Pacific equity ETFs saw outflows of EUR160M as PM Abe and Japan's Abenomics continued to be challenged. Global ETF flows turned negative for the first time this year at -EUR37M in a more risk-off environment. Smart Beta ETFs flows also turned negative with a third consecutive month of decreasing flows at -EUR39M. Nevertheless, those outflows were mainly from Japanese Smart Beta ETFs; flows were still positive for Value & Momentum factor ETFs at EUR120M and EUR253M, respectively.
