ESMA publishes guidance on fractional shares

March 28, 2023--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU's financial markets regulator and supervisor, has issued today a Public Statement addressing investor protection concerns raised by derivatives on fractions of shares.

The statement highlights that derivatives on fractions of shares are not corporate shares, and therefore firms should not use the term fractional shares when referring to these instruments. Additionally, in line with the obligation to make clients reasonably able to understand the nature and risks of the specific type of financial instrument, firms should make clear to the investor that they are buying a derivative instrument.

ESMA-Trends, Risks and Vulnerabilities (TRV) Report, No. 1, 2023-ESMA sees high risks amid fragile markets

March 27, 2023--Risk summary and outlook:
The slowdown of economic activity, high inflation, the global tightening of financial conditions, the geopolitical environment and the materialisation of peripheral risks linked to leverage and liquidity are the defining drivers of risk in EU financial markets at the current juncture, aggravated by growing concerns over business practices in the crypto space.

Amid this volatile environment, financial markets remained remarkably stable in the second half of 2022 (2H22) and economic sentiment has become more positive in early 2023. But there is no reason for complacency: High levels of uncertainty and fragile market liquidity are limiting the resilience of the financial system against further external shocks.

March 20, 2023--Banking giant UBS is buying troubled rival Credit Suisse for almost USD 3.25 billion, in a deal orchestrated by regulators in an effort to avoid further market-shaking turmoil in the global banking system.

Swiss authorities pushed for UBS to take over its smaller rival after a plan for Credit Suisse to borrow up to 50 billion francs (USD 54 billion) failed to reassure investors and the bank's customers.
