Deutsche Boerse IPO indicator gives positive prognosis for IPOs in Frankfurt
Favourable market conditions expected for initial public offerings for Q1
January 28, 2013--Deutsche Börse published the IPO sentiment indicator forecasting issue activity for the 1st quarter of 2013 on Monday.
According to the indicator, the IPO climate, which reflects the sentiment of investors, companies and underwriters on the primary market, remained positive at 32.43 points compared to 32.8 points in the previous quarter.
In contrast to global IPO activities, market participants in Frankfurt see a favourable period for placing shares and expect a positive price level for them in the coming months. The lower volatility and higher valuation of equities is also having a positive effect on the primary market. According to the surveys, IPOs are primarily to be expected from March. This time window primarily arises from the fact that companies preparing for an IPO produce their financial statements by March, and from May onwards prepare their semi-annual reports.

Proposals for Better Management of Non-Financial Risks within the European Fund Management Industry
January 25, 2013--In a summary document that concludes three years of research on better management of non-financial risks within the European fund management industry-conducted with the support of CACEIS-EDHEC-Risk Institute is putting forward a series of proposals to limit these risks which emerged during the 2007-2008 crisis and undermined the quality of the UCITS label.
For EDHEC-Risk Institute, the sophistication of UCITS is one of the principal causes of a rise in non-financial risks. These risks are not the direct result of positions taken by funds on financial markets and for which they receive a reward proportional to their exposure, but rather produced by the operation of the value chain of the collective investment management industry itself.
