BlackRock and Euroclear Bank announce ground-breaking plans to grow the European ETF market

June 4, 2013--BlackRock and Euroclear Bank today announce plans to reform Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) trade processing and settlement across Europe by issuing the first iShares ETF with an international security structure.

Unlike other cross-exchange listed ETFs in Europe, which currently settle in national central securities depositories (CSDs), the new iShares ETF will be issued and settle for the first time in an International CSD (ICSDs)-Euroclear Bank.

At present, all cross-exchange listed ETFs in Europe including iShares ETFs, are issued and traded on one or more national stock exchanges and settle in the national central securities depository (CSD) of the exchange where the trade is executed. This often causes inefficiencies when ETFs are traded across borders. By using a single European settlement location, it is expected the new international ETF structure will improve trading liquidity, ease cross-border ETF processing  and significantly lower transaction costs for investors.

FCA to ban the promotion of UCIS and certain close substitutes to ordinary retail investors

June 4, 2013--The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has published final rules to ban the promotion of Unregulated Collective Investment Schemes (UCIS) and certain close substitutes (together to be known as Non-Mainstream Pooled Investments (NMPIs)) to the vast majority of retail investors in the UK.

The rules mean that, in the retail market, promotions of these riskier and often very complex fund structures will generally be restricted to sophisticated investors and high net worth individuals for whom these products are more likely to be suitable.

The ban follows on from extensive work undertaken by the Financial Services Authority (FSA), which found that only one in every four advised sales of UCIS to retail customers was suitable and that many promotions breached the existing UCIS marketing restrictions.
