7IM plots 'smart beta' overhaul for trackers

August 12, 2013--Seven Investment Management is ditching much of its exposure to traditional tracker funds and plans to invest in 'smart beta' products in its fund of passive funds range, saying they offer reliably superior returns.

Hopes rise of eurozone recovery

August 5, 2013--The eurozone recession seems to be fading out at last, with key growth indicators giving a surprisingly strong showing, economics experts said on Monday.

A key leading indicator of activity, the Markit Eurozone Composite Purchasing Managers Index for July switched to give a growth reading for the first time for 18 months.

The index logged 50.5 points, up from an initial estimate of 50.4 and above the 50-point watershed which signals the difference between a trend of shrinking activity or growth.

ESMA proposes delay to reporting date for Exchange Traded Derivatives

August 8, 2013--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has sent the European Commission a Final Report proposing an amendment to Article 5 of the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No.1247/2012 (ITS on reporting) on the format and frequency of reporting to trade repositories under EMIR.

The amendment relates specifically to the reporting of exchange traded derivatives (ETDs) and proposes postponing the reporting start date by one year.

Background
Article 5 regards the reporting start date of derivatives to trade repositories, however the current dates do not include a specification of ETDs. This specification would be useful as there is a risk currently that reporting of ETDs is not harmonised unless further regulatory guidance is issued. Based on the need to ensure the consistent implementation of EMIR, ESMA considered that guidelines and recommendations should be developed in relation to this issue.
