Banks Seek Easing of 'Draconian' EU Equity Research Plan

February 19, 2015--Investment banks want the European Union to scale back potentially "draconian" draft rules that would rein in asset managers using clients' money to pay for equities research.

The European Commission, the EU's executive arm, is weighing how far to go in forcing asset managers to separate payments for research from those they make to banks and other brokers to execute trades. These costs are commonly lumped together, a practice known as bundling.

Q & A on the Green Paper on building a Capital Markets Union

February 18, 2015--General Questions
What does the term 'Capital Markets Union' mean?
The free movement of capital is a long-standing objective of the European Union-a fundamental freedom which should be at the heart of the single market.

Despite the progress that has been made, Europe's capital markets remain fragmented along national lines and European economies remain heavily reliant on banks for their funding needs. This makes them more vulnerable in bad times to a tightening of bank lending, as happened during the financial crisis.

The Capital Markets Union (CMU) is a flagship initiative of this Commission and will contribute to the ambition to boost jobs and growth in the EU in the context of the Investment Plan for Europe.
