IMF-Germany:Financial Sector Assessment Program-Fund Management: Regulation, Supervision and Systemic Risk Monitoring-Technical Notes
June 29, 2016--Summary: The sector is the third-largest in Europe, as measured by all managed assets, and comprises a broad range of management companies and funds. Full account is taken of the requirements set out in EU legislation and the standards and principles developed by IOSCO, with some adjustments to reflect the specificities of the German market and priorities of the main supervisor of the sector, BaFin.
Bafin is seen as a well-respected and authoritative body which understands the asset management industry well and supervises it in a firm but fair manner. BaFin is sufficiently well-resourced that it can maintain close contact with asset managers and depositaries. This contact could be intensified even further through a program of more frequent on-site inspections.

Monday Morning Memo: Review of the European ETF Market, May 2016
June 27, 2016--After a rough start for the year 2016 the assets under management in the European exchange-traded fund (ETF) industry recovered during April (+€8.1 bn) and May (+€9.0 bn) to €454.6 bn. The increase of €9.0 bn for May was mainly driven by the performance of the underlying markets (+€8.7 bn), while net sales contributed only €0.3 bn to the overall growth in assets under management in the ETF segment.
With regard to the overall number of products, it was not surprising that equity funds (€306.6 bn) held the majority of the assets, followed by bond funds (€122.6 bn), commodity products (€14.5 bn), "other" funds (€6.7 bn), money market funds (€3.4 bn), mixed-asset funds (€0.4 bn), and alternative UCITS products (€0.4 bn).
