Home > ESMA requires further improvements by CRAs

March 18, 2013--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has published its second Annual Report on its supervision of credit rating agencies (CRAs) in the European Union.

The report summarises the supervisory work undertaken by ESMA, during 2012, in ensuring that CRAs complied with the CRA Regulation. The report includes details on ESMA’s supervisory, registration, and policy work; and focuses on its investigation into bank rating methodologies and the follow up work to the March 2012 report on deficiencies in CRAs rating processes, governance and control mechanisms.

ETF-Radar-Expert Talk with Hector McNeil

Hector McNeil, Co-Founder Boost ETP "We expect to list across Europe."
March 13, 2013--Hector, could please explain Boost ETP and your product range in one sentence?
BOOST is a new independent issuer of Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) focusing on 3x short and leveraged multi asset exposures.

What was the motivation for launching Boost ETP in times of deleveraging?
Leveraged and short ETPs account for $45bn of AUM globally, 10bn in Europe and have been around since 2005. Unlike the US, which accounts for most of the AUM, there are no specialist providers of the products and no one who provides a 3x platform. As there are no advocates in Europe we feel by being specialists and focused we can carve out an attractive and value added niche.
