Italian financial transactions tax-Italy imposes Tobin tax on financial transactions

February 21, 2013--Introduction
Italy has introduced a domestic tax on financial transactions (FTT-so called Tobin Tax). The new tax will be imposed on certain financial transactions executed as from 1 March 2013 and on others executed as from 1 July 2013.

Relevant Transactions, Excluded Transactions and Exempt Parties

The FTT applies to certain financial transactions (the Relevant Transactions), wherever executed and regardless of the nationality of the parties.

The five categories of Relevant Transactions are:
transfers of shares and participating financial instruments issued by Italian resident entities (Shares and PFIs), including those transfers on conversions of bonds (except for newly issued shares). Bonds, quotas and fund units are, instead, excluded (further exclusions may be introduced with a subsequent ministerial decree)

transfer of other instruments representing such Shares and PFIs (for example, ADRs – American Depositary Receipts)

Healthy prognosis for European ETF market

February 20, 2013--The US has led the global exchange-traded funds market since the early 1990s, but market practitioners are bullish about the prospects for Europe.

Assets under management in ETFs grew 23% last year to reach $369bn, and in January continued growing to a $389bn all-time high.

ETF provider iShares had the highest net inflows in 2012 in Europe with $18.6bn. However, Stephen Cohen, head of investment strategy and insights Emea, thinks there are even better times ahead. He said: “We feel we are on the verge of a real pickup of ETFs in Europe.”

Environment committee backs emissions trading fix

February 19, 2013--A freeze in the auction of some pollution allowances should be allowed to help boost green investments, according to environment committee MEPs voting on draft legislation on Tuesday.

Boost ETP Signs up three new authorised participants

February 19, 2013--Boost ETP, a new independent provider of ETPs, has signed up three new Authorised Participants (APs): Flow Traders, ABN Amro and UBS.

Each of the new APs are world class ETF market makers and will add significantly to the depth of liquidity available on the Boost 3x leveraged and 3x short ETP platform.

Boost ETP currently works with more than 15 market makers. Boost operates an open and competitive market making model which promotes deeper liquidity across its range of ETPs; this is in contrast to the single AP model adopted by many of BOOST’s competitors, which means investors benefit from greater liquidity and tighter pricing through an open model.

Mid-December 2012 saw Boost list Europe’s first platform of 3x long and 3x short ETPs, 10 ETPs and 10 Exchange Traded Commodities (ETCs) on the London Stock Exchange, the first of its kind in Europe.
