How to hedge Sterling equity exposures
December 7, 2106--The recent sharp moves in Sterling-predominantly the weakness that we've seen since Brexit-has been beneficial for UK investors holding overseas assets.
The declines have been particularly sharp against the USD, and, at its lowest point in mid-October it had fallen 18.5%, while its decline versus the Euro was more muted reflecting the weakness of the Euro.

December 7, 2016--Summary:
Notwithstanding the three-year recession, Finland's banking system remains well capitalized and profitable.
While low interest rates have squeezed net interest income, banks have increased income from trading and insurance, and reduced cost-income ratios, helping to maintain profitability. Nonperforming loans have remained low and capitalization ratios are well above requirements, though buffers may be exaggerated by the aggressive use of risk weights. The Net Stable Funding Ratio suggests that vulnerabilities from maturity mismatches are limited in aggregate.
