Source study shows active managers face increasing difficulty
July 28, 2016--ETF provider Source finds that correlations between the equities of countries and sectors in Europe have become so high that it is increasingly difficult for active managers to add value.

STOXX Pulse Online-BREXIT: Uncertain Times Ahead For Funds Market
July 27, 2016--Despite the fact that Brexit will presumably not take effect until early 2019 or later, the impact of the UK's vote to leave the European Union has begun to sink in and has triggered a debate also in the funds market.
Much will depend on the exact terms negotiated for Brexit, yet the impact on the UK fund managers has the potential to be significant. So far it is not clear if the UK, like Norway, will be member of the European Economic Area (EEA), will have a trade arrangement with the EU similar to Switzerland or will have a different arrangement altogether.
Impact on UK fund managers
For now and at least for the two-year exit negotiation period, passporting as established by the AIFM-Directive for UK-AIFMs and AIFs will continue as usual. In case the EEA option will be realized, the UK fund managers would still be able to benefit from the current passporting regime.
