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.

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.

May 10, 2012--European companies could face serious challenges refinancing a wall of maturing debt over the next few years as the region's banks deal with the impact of regulation and fallout from the eurozone debt crisis, according to a new report from Standard & Poor's.

The rating agency predicted that companies round the world would need new funding or to refinance existing debt totalling as much as $46tn over the next five years. And while global banks and debt capital markets should largely be able to provide the majority of funding for companies, S&P raised concerns about the ability of European lenders in particular to meet all corporate funding needs as they deal with the impact of sluggish economic growth and tough regulatory requirements.
