Swiss bourse SIX determined to resist foreign merger

Too few synergies in tie-up with bigger exchange-SIX chairman
SIX intends to sell remainder of Deutsche Boerse shares
October 3, 2012--The Swiss bourse SIX said it had no interest in being taken over by Deutsche Boerse and told its northern neighbour it had the unanimous backing of shareholders to resist a move that made no business sense.

"We want to remain independent," Peter Gomez, chairman of SIX's supervisory board, told journalists on Wednesday.

He said SIX decided a month ago - after a year-long investigation - that a merger with a bigger exchange would not help control costs through economies of scale.

Eurozone slumps as France offsets German improvement

October 3, 2012--Eurozone private sector business activity remained firmly stuck in the doldrums in September, with the key services sector suffering a very sharp fall, a survey showed Wednesday.

The closely-watched Composite Purchasing Managers Index (PMI), a survey of 5,000 eurozone businesses compiled by Markit research firm, came in at 46.1 for September, up from an initial reading of 45.9 but down from 46.3 in August.

The survey put services alone at 46.1 in September, better than the preliminary estimate of 46 but well short of 47.2 in August, with the sector downturn accelerating to the fastest pace since July 2009, Markit said.

U.K. Bond Managers Adjust To Asset Growth

U.K. fixed-income managers have responded with differing tactics to the continuing growth in assets under management, according to S&P Capital IQ's latest sector trends paper.
October 3, 2012--UK fixed income managers have responded with differing tactics to the continuing growth in assets under management,

says S&P Capital IQ in its latest sector trends paper, available at www.marketscopeadvisor.com

Assets under management continue to grow as investors search for yield in an environment of low interest rates. According to IMA data, UK fixed income assets have increased by around 11.5% annually in the period from June 2009 to June 2012.

One of the major beneficiaries has been M&G - Richard Woolnough's Strategic Corporate Bond and Corporate Bond funds held £5.16bn and £6.31bn, respectively, as at the end of June. In the summer, Woolnough became concerned that further asset growth would start to limit his ability to manage the portfolios most effectively. However, he was not concerned about liquidity; he was more concerned with the ability to add value through stock selection. M&G has tried to limit flows into these funds by persuasion rather than closing the vehicles.
