Solactive and Franklin Templeton Collaborate to Launch Two Thematic ETFs Targeting Sustainable Companies Across Food and Healthcare
July 6, 2023--Solactive and Franklin Templeton are excited to announce their partnership in launching two new exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tracking Solactive indices. Designed to offer investors focused exposure to the dynamic food and healthcare sectors, these ETFs will use the Solactive Sustainable Food Index NTR (net total return) and the Solactive Sustainable Health and Wellness Index NTR.
By leveraging Solactive's indexing expertise and Franklin Templeton's investment capabilities, these ETFs are poised to meet the evolving needs of investors seeking long-term growth and sustainability.
According to research from Statista, the health and wellness market size worldwide was at more than $4.37 trillion in 2020 and is set to grow to almost $7 trillion by 20251. The food market revenue reached $8.67 billion in 20222 and is forecast to grow annually at a rate of 6.73% until 20283. To tap into that potential while, at the same time, considering the importance of ESG factors in investment decision-making, the indices aim to capture the performance of companies at the forefront of driving innovation and sustainability within those sectors. Both indices use Solactive’s proprietary Natural Language Processing (NLP) Engine ARTIS, which is utilizing advanced algorithms to parse high volumes of public documents evaluating companies’ exposure to the segments.

ESMA publishes second overview of national rules governing fund marketing
July 6, 2023--Key findings:
The transposition of the Directive on cross-border distribution of funds and the entry into force of the ESMA Guidelines on funds' marketing communications helped reach a greater level of harmonisation in areas where national divergences existed (identified in the first ESMA Report submitted in 2021).
Despite the powers NCAs have under the Regulation, it is apparent that only a limited number of NCAs carried out any ex-ante verifications of marketing communications, while an increasing number of NCAs reported carrying out ex-post verifications.

Can Europe make its space launch industry competitive?
July 5, 2023--Europe is falling behind in the global commercial space launch sector; a new programme may not be enough to fix the shortcomings
Pressure on the European space sector from foreign competitors, primarily the United States and China, has led to a rethinking of Europe's space policy.
As part of this, the European Space Agency (ESA), with a membership made up largely of European Union countries, announced in May 2023 the Commercial Cargo Transportation Initiative (CCTI), a call for European companies to develop commercially-sound cargo transportation systems.
European satellite infrastructure, Europe's presence in the International Space Station (ISS) and all exploration and scientific missions depend on transportation into orbit, on which ESA will spend 12.6 percent of its €7 billion budget in 2023.
The hope is that CCTI will stimulate companies to do something Europe has not yet done: develop its own cheap, reusable rocket. In doing this, CCTI is a bid to replicate in Europe the success of NASA’s Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) programme, which ran from 2006 to 2013 and succeeded in substantially lowering the costs for NASA of getting into orbit by engaging private companies in the development and operation of space transportation systems.
