November 19, 2012-- A number of recent institutional investor surveys reveal significant risk aversion among asset owners even as asset managers are beginning to suggest that now is the time to take a little more risk.

As Dutch asset manager ING Investment Management (INGIM) presented its 2013 outlook and the results of a Europe-wide survey of 171 pension professionals in London last week, Valentijn van Nieuwenhuijzen, head of strategy, said: "Investor confidence is low, so many may miss out on the upside risks we believe are clearly visible."

FSB publishes Initial Integrated Set of Recommendations to Strengthen Oversight and Regulation of Shadow Banking

November 18, 2012--The Financial Stability Board (FSB) is publishing today for public consultation an initial integrated set of policy recommendations to strengthen oversight and regulation of the shadow banking system.

The "shadow banking system" can broadly be described as “credit intermediation involving entities and activities (fully or partially) outside the regular banking system” or non-bank credit intermediation in short.

The FSB has focused on five specific areas in which the FSB believes policies are needed to mitigate the potential systemic risks associated with shadow banking:

(i) to mitigate the spill-over effect between the regular banking system and the shadow banking system;
(ii) to reduce the susceptibility of money market funds (MMFs) to “runs”;
(iii) to assess and mitigate systemic risks posed by other shadow banking entities;
(iv) to assess and align the incentives associated with securitisation; and
(v) to dampen risks and pro-cyclical incentives associated with secured financing contracts such as repos, and securities lending that may exacerbate funding strains in times of “runs”.

Study investigates the costs incurred in purchasing and trading gold

November 16, 2012--The Steinbeis School of Management and Innovation, Berlin, has conducted a study on the costs associated with purchasing and trading gold in Germany, looking at different investment opportunities, volumes and time horizons.

The study concluded that for short and medium-term investments in gold, the purchase of physically backed ETCs is the most cost-effective option. Among these products, Xetra Gold has the lowest total costs. Considerably more expensive according to the study are ETCs that only secure a claim to payment but are not backed by physical gold.

In comparison to gold from precious metal traders, physically backed gold ETCs with subsequent delivery are a better deal – though only at quantities of around five kilos and above.

Bank of England cuts 2013 growth forecast

November 16, 2012--The Bank of England cuts its forecast for British economic expansion on Wednesday and predicted low growth for the next three years due to the Eurozone crisis, tight credit conditions and inflationary pressures.

Gross domestic product (GDP) expansion was predicted to average 1.0 percent in 2013, the central bank said in its latest quarterly report. That compared with the previous forecast of around 2.0 percent which was given in August.

The BoE also warned that economic output would remain below pre-financial crisis levels for at least the next three years, holding underneath its historical average in a “sustained but slow” recovery until mid-2015.
