ESMA Risk Dashboard

June 10, 2013--The overall level of systemic risk in EU securities markets decreased throughout 4Q12, as conditions in equity and bond markets improved.

Since mid-December, systemic risk has remained stable. Notwithstanding monetary policy support, the underlying sources of market uncertainty remain in place. Market clustering and fragmentation, funding risk, the low interest rate environment and obstacles to orderly market functioning remained important sources of uncertainty for EU financial stability. The recent restructuring of one national banking sector underlined the continued prevalence of the sovereign debt and banking crisis as a source of risk. On this basis, our outlook on liquidity, market and contagion risks remains unchanged.

Markets calm, yet remain vulnerable to political tension

June 7, 2013--Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan could have helped to cushion a sharp decline in markets on his return to İstanbul early Friday as investors held their breath waiting for a reassuring message amidst heated anti-government protests, but he didn't.

Nevertheless, Turkish markets and lira enjoyed a slight but critical recovery on Friday from significant losses through the entire week. Analysts believe Friday's recovery in markets translates into increased resilience in Turkish markets; however, the threat is not far away in the face of a turbulent political atmosphere.Market analysts describe the developments over the past week as “unique and new” to Turkey, underlining foreign investors will spend the next week trying to grasp what is really happening inside the country. Around 65 percent of shares on Bourse İstanbul (BIST) are traded by foreign investors.

The European ETF Market: Review Q1-2013- Recent Trends & Challenges Ahead -from Lipper

June 7, 2013--The European ETF industry appears to be in good shape, according to the latest Lipper analysis.
Highlights follow below:
Assets under management (AuM) grew by 38.89 billion Euros, 14.37%, over the twelve month period (31.03.2012-31.03.2013) up to 309.48 billion Euros and by 4.36% or 12.92 billion Euros during Q1 2013.

The number of ETFs (across all share classes) increased by 22 to 1782. Even with the broad variety of funds available for investors in Europe, the European ETF market is highly concentrated in terms of assets under management; only 54 of the 1782 ETFs hold assets above 1 billion Euros.

As expected the majority of these funds are equity funds (32), followed by bond funds (11), commodity funds (8 gold, 1 silver), as well as money market funds (1) and real estate linked equity funds (1).

The largest ETF in Europe is the iShares DAX, which holds 4.45% of the overall AuM.

The top 10 ETFs by assets under management account for 24.47% of the overall AuM, while the 54 ETFs with more than one billion Euros in assets under management account for 51.70% of the overall AuM.

“The number of new ETFs in Q1 2013 is rather small compared with launch activity over the last five years. But as the number of fund launches has decreased since Q3-2012, the launch pattern for European ETFs might have changed in general. One reason could be reflected in the high number of asset classes already covered by ETFs, leaving only a few untapped opportunities on the ETF landscape which have yet to be covered."
