Commission adopts implementing rules for the Directive on Alternative Investment Fund Managers

December 19, 2012--The European Commission has acted to solidly underpin the new rules for Alternative Investment Fund Managers (AIFM) by today adopting a Delegated Regulation supplementing the Directive on Alternative Investment Fund Managers (AIFMD)(see MEMO/10/572).

The AIFMD is part of the Union's response to the financial crisis, and aims to create a comprehensive and effective regulatory and supervisory environment for alternative investment fund managers in Europe. The Delegated Regulation is a precondition for the application of the AIFMD in EU countries and was adopted to supplement certain elements of the AIFMD. These rules concern the:

conditions and procedure for the determination and authorisation of AIFMs, including the capital requirements applicable to AIFMs;

operating conditions for AIFMs, including rules on remuneration, conflicts of interest, risk management, liquidity management, investment in securitisation positions, organisational requirements, rules on valuation;

conditions for delegation;

Internal Market and Services Commissioner Michel Barnier said: "The adoption of these technical standards is the final step in achieving the mandatory clearing and reporting of OTC derivatives and in meeting our G20 commitments. This will improve transparency in the trading of derivatives."

The technical standards will enter into force on the twentieth day following publication in the EU's Official Journal. As with any other EU Regulation, their provisions will be directly applicable (i.e. legally binding in all Member States without implementation into national law) from the day of entry into force.

Revisions to the Basel Securitisation Framework, consultative document published by the Basel Committee

December 18, 2012--The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has today published a consultative paper entitled Revisions to the Basel Securitisation Framework.

The performance of securitisations and the central role they played during the financial crisis were a key motivation for the Basel Committee to perform a broader review of its securitisation framework for regulatory capital requirements. The Committee's objectives are to make capital requirements more prudent and risk-sensitive; to mitigate mechanistic reliance on external credit ratings; and to reduce current cliff effects in capital requirements.

In July 2009, the Committee introduced enhancements to the Basel II framework to address deficiencies identified during the financial crisis. These measures primarily addressed immediate concerns over resecuritisations, forming part of a set of reforms commonly referred to as "Basel 2.5". The Committee subsequently agreed to conduct a more fundamental review of the securitisation framework, including its reliance on external ratings.

Poland ETFs: Defying Logic as Economy Slows

December 17, 2012--Relative to the recent rally in other emerging markets ETFs, the surge in the two funds devoted exclusively to Poland has gone somewhat unnoticed.

What is even less discussed is a point that makes the recent upside moves by the iShares MSCI Poland Investable Market Index Fund (NYSE: EPOL [FREE Stock Trend Analysis]) and the Market Vectors Poland ETF (NYSE: PLND) all the more impressive.
