Asset managers pay vastly unequal fees for using indices
October 31, 2022--Study highlights opacity of pricing models used by providers such as MSCI and S&P Global
Index providers charge some asset managers 13 times as much as other clients for similar bundles of products and services, according to research into the opaque pricing models that could lead to higher costs for investors.
Trillions of dollars are benchmarked to financial indices, but the costs paid for access to them remains a tightly guarded secret. Index providers often bundle products and services, which makes accurate like-for-like comparisons problematic for asset managers to find.

Inflation inequality in the European Union and its drivers
October 28, 2022--Headline inflation tracks the change in the price of the average household's consumption basket. It thus masks how different individuals across society are impacted differently by rising prices. Households can face different inflation rates because their spending patterns are different. For instance, while a sharp rise in the cost of fuel increases overall inflation, a household with no car will be less affected than one with a car.
The sharp rise in inflation in the European Union since mid-2021 makes it particularly important to investigate the extent to which inflation is impacting different groups of the population differently. The main objective of this database is to document how low and high-income households face different inflation rates because of the differences in their consumption patterns, and to identify the categories of expenditure driving these differences.
