DB-Synthetic Equity & Index Strategy-Europe-ETF Research- Steady as she goes

December 7, 2012--Global Summary
Global ETF industry assets increased by 2.1% in November and closed the month at $1.62 trillion [YTD +24.6%] while the European ETF industry ended the month at €245.8 billion [YTD +18.5%].

Cash flow activity was on the rise with monthly flows of $23 billion in November as compared to a modest $10.7 billion in October. However, the cash flow levels still lag behind the September flows which were close to $40 billion.

Regional cash flow summary Cash flow activity picks up in the US

US domiciled ETFs collected over $19.7 billion in monthly cash flows which is a healthy improvement over the $1.4 billion received in October.

Equities came back strongly, registering monthly cash flows of $14.3 billion as compared to outflows of $4.2 billion registered over October.

Fixed income ETFs retained their popularity and registered cash inflows of $5.4 billion while commodity ETVs managed a modest $0.8 billion over the same period.

As of the end of November, equity ETFs increased their lead over fixed income products with YTD cash flows of $88.7 billion and $56.5 billion respectively.

New products drive cash flows in Asia
Asia domiciled ETFs registered $1.9 billion in monthly cash flows with equities picking up the lion’s share. This takes the YTD flows for Asian ETFs to $31.8 billion pushing the YoY asset growth to 36.4%.

Although Asia ETF assets are 2.5x smaller than European ETFs, their YTD cash flows are almost 1.5x [in $ terms] that of their European counterparts.

A large portion [59%], of the cash flows received by Asian ETFs in 2012 are on account of new product adoption, with the rest received by existing ETFs.

Europe cash flows revert following strong October

In contrast to October, which was the strongest cash flow month in 2012, November cash flows totaled a modest €1 billion.

While cash flows into European ETFs lacked strength, the positive direction persisted, made evident from the positive flows received by the major asset classes: equity [€283 million], fixed income [€470 million] & commodities [€292 million].

FSA consults on changes to the regulation and supervision of benchmarks

December 5, 2012--The Financial Services Authority (FSA) has proposed new rules and regulations for financial benchmarks. This follows the recommendations of the Wheatley Review of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR).

Benchmarks are used across financial markets in a broad range of activities. They have historically been set by the financial markets themselves, and existed outside of any regulatory regime. In the case of LIBOR, this industry-led approach has failed. On 2 July 2012 the Chancellor of the Exchequer commissioned Martin Wheatley, managing director of the FSA and CEO designate of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), to undertake a review of the structure and governance of LIBOR and the corresponding criminal sanctions regime.
