Ossiam offers the academic view for low volatility

January 18, 2012--Ossiam has launched a volatility-controlled exchange-traded fund that tracks the FTSE 100 Minimum Variance Index
Exchange-traded funds (ETF) provider Ossiam will list the first FTSE 100 Minimum Variance ETF on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) today, January 18. The ETF is designed to give investors exposure to liquid UK stocks that are weighted to minimise the volatility of the total portfolio.

"The concept of minimum variance is based on risk management techniques," says Isabelle Bourcier, director of development at Ossiam, "and intends to obtain an optimised portfolio that includes a selection of stocks where volatility is among the lowest in the investment universe. It is based on academic research, including works by Haugen et al in 2008, that demonstrates that historically low-volatility stocks had a very attractive performance."

EU bailout fund bonds see strong demand after downgrade

January 17, 2012--The EU's bailout fund, the EFSF, enjoyed strong demand Tuesday at an auction of six-month debt, Germany's central bank said, only a day after ratings agency Standard and Poor's downgraded it.

The Bundesbank, which organised the auction, said it received 4.6 billion euros' ($5.9 billion) worth of bids for the 1.5 billion euros of six-month bonds on offer, at an average rate paid to buyers of 0.2664 percent.

The bid-cover ratio, closely watched by the markets, was 3.1, meaning the auction of the first such EFSF offer of 6-month debt paper was heavily oversubscribed.

Christophe Frankel, deputy head of the fund, commented: "The success of today's auction confirms investors' confidence in the EFSF as a high quality issuer."

Requirements for OTC derivatives data reporting and aggregation: CPSS-IOSCO publishes final report

January 17, 2011--The Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems (CPSS) and the Technical Committee of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) have published their final report on the OTC derivatives data that should be collected, stored and disseminated by trade repositories (TRs).

The committees support the view that TRs, by collecting such data centrally, would provide authorities and the public with better and more timely information on OTC derivatives. This would make markets more transparent, help to prevent market abuse, and promote financial stability.

The final report reflects public comments received in response to a consultative version of the report published in August 2011. Following the consultation exercise, the report was expanded to elaborate on the description of possible options to address data gaps.
