Dow Jones Indexes to License "Distributing" Version of the Dow Jones Industrial Average

New Calculation Method Highlights Dividends Paid by Components of the Iconic Dow Jones Industrial Average
May 14, 2012-Dow Jones Indexes today announced that a new "distributing" version of the Dow Jones Industrial Average has been licensed by Commerzbank and UniCredit to serve as the basis for Tracker Certificates listed on the Frankfurt and Stuttgart exchanges.

The certificates will be marketed by UniCredit under the brand names “HypoVereinsbank onemarkets” in Germany and “UniCredit onemarkets” in Austria.

The new version of The Dow will be disseminated by market data vendors under the name Dow Jones Industrial Average (Distributing Index) and the suggested symbol DJINRD / DJINRDE. The index is calculated according to Dow Jones Indexes’ distributing methodology, which couples the performance of a base equity index, in this case The Dow, with a theoretical cash component designed to reflect the dividends paid by the base index’s constituents in a given six-month period. The index reflects distribution of the accumulated cash and resets the theoretical cash component to zero on a semi-annual basis. The index is calculated in USD and EUR.

European equity yields could soar 20 per cent after ECJ ruling

Equity income fund managers expect a windfall for yields after a European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruling which could end a punitive tax on dividends.
May 14, 2012--Last week the ECJ ruled that a 15 per cent withholding tax imposed by France on dividends paid to Ucits-compliant funds was "unfair" as French investors were exempt from the payment.

Accountancy and audit firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) said the ruling could set a precedent across other European countries with similar withholding taxes.

Spring forecast 2012-13: towards a slow recovery

May 11, 2012--Following the output contraction in late 2011, the EU economy is estimated to be currently in a mild recession.

While uncertainty about economic and financial prospects remains high, strong policy actions and major advancements in the EU institutional framework have brought about an easing of financial market tensions in the beginning of 2012 and a tentative stabilisation of confidence, expected to further strengthen over the forecast period. Together with an expected acceleration in global growth, the recovery is forecast to set in slowly from the second half of the year on.

The picture presented in the interim forecast in February is broadly confirmed for 2012, with real GDP projected to stagnate in the EU and to contract by -0.3% in the euro area. For 2013, growth is forecast at 1.3% in the EU and 1.0% in the euro area. Unemployment is expected to remain high at 10% in the EU and 11% in the euro area over the forecast period. Inflation is set to moderate gradually as the impact of higher oil prices and tax increases fades away. Fiscal consolidation is forecast to progress, with public deficits in 2013 declining to 3.3% in the EU and just below 3% in the euro area. The economic situation differs considerably across Member States, also in view of the ongoing adjustment to the large disparities in external positions and structural conditions that have come to the fore over the last years.

Research Reveals That 1.4bn (euro) Flowed Into European Listed Commodity Exchange Traded Products In Q1 2012

May 11, 2012--Commodities remain an important area in terms of asset gathering for European ETPs and new analysis by Lyxor reveals that in the first quarter of 2012 over €1.4bn has flowed into these exposures, which represents over 26% of all ETP net asset inflows.

In terms of total assets under management commodities, at close to €46bn, represent over 18.5% of the total ETP market.

Whilst historically the key area for asset gathering has been in gold-related ETPs, the most recent trends in Q1 have seen substantial inflows into energy related exposures on the back of the rising oil price driven by macro-economic and political concerns.

In the 12 months to March 2012, there were net inflows of €4.52 billion into commodity based European listed ETPs.

FSA publishes Recovery and Resolution Plan (RRP) update

May 10, 2012--The Financial Services Authority (FSA) has published a feedback statement setting out the approach being taken by the FSA to ensure firms develop appropriate recovery plans and resolution packs.

The feedback statement provides firms with clarity regarding what they are expected to do while final rules are being adjusted to take into account developments in the international arena. A draft of the core rules has been published with today’s feedback statement, and final rules will be published in the autumn.

The decision to delay the final rules is due to the various significant international developments which are relevant to RRP, notably the expected proposal by the EU Commission for a directive on recovery and resolution. Accordingly, the FSA is publishing today’s feedback statement, along with draft ‘core’ rules and an updated information pack.
