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.

Data confirms recession in weakest eurozone economies
March 12, 2013--Data published on Monday confirmed recession in the eurozone's weakest economies last year, breathing new life into a heated debate on whether aggressive austerity measures may come at the cost of economic growth.
The dire individual statistics for Italy, Greece, Portugal and Cyprus come just days ahead of a EU summit where the bloc's leaders are to mull ways to tackle the debt crisis, with countries led by France calling for growth measures while others led by Germany are holding firm for fiscal discipline.
Last week, the EU's Eurostat data agency said that the 17-member eurozone sank deeper into recession in the last three months of 2012, with aggregate economic activity shrinking by 0.6 percent compared with the third quarter, when it had contracted by 0.1 percent.
