iShares lists International ETF on Euronext Amsterdam

First ETF with an international security settlement structure in continental Europe
February 11, 2014--Today iShares, the exchange-traded funds offering of BlackRock, listed its iShares Euro Stoxx 50 ex-Financials UCITS ETF (EXFN) on the Amsterdam market of Euronext.

This fund is the first ETF to come to market in continental Europe using an international security structure, where settlement of transactions is exclusively at Euroclear Bank-the Brussels-based international central securities depository (ICSD).

Previously, cross-border transactions in ETFs settled in multiple national central securities depositories (CSDs) with related re-alignment costs and risks. With this new international security structure, the iShares ETF will be issued and settled for the first time in an International CSD (ICSDs)- in this instance Euroclear Bank, facilitating better cross-border liquidity provision and in parallel reducing operational and trading costs for ETF investment, potentially resulting in growth of the European ETF market.

EU rules to light up derivatives markets set for shaky start

February 10, 2014--New rules coming into force in Europe this week to shine more light on the $700 trillion derivatives markets will take years to produce a clearer picture of these complex products which were at the heart of the financial crisis.

When Lehman Brothers collapsed in 2008 markets were in the dark over a tangle of derivatives on the U.S. investment bank's books. Financial markets froze because of uncertainty about who was exposed to Lehman's derivatives, such as credit default swaps or interest rate swaps. U.S. insurer AIG also ran up big losses linked to derivatives.
