European FoF Assets Are Expected To Rise Almost 7.5% Per Year To €673.3 Billion (US$968.9 Billion) By 2015 - The Sales Environment Is Tough: UK Looks Healthiest - Germany And Mediterranean Markets Not So Much

October 27, 2011--The European fund-of-funds (FoFs) sector is big and mature. Regulatory change and greater outsourcing to discretionary managers will continue to drive growth across all major markets.

The UK's Retail Distribution Review is already providing sales momentum in the independent financial advice market, concludes the Cerulli Report European Funds of Funds 2011.

"Whilst assets are in recovery mode, sales are not," says Yoon Ng, the report's lead analyst. There are marked differences across the European Union. Distribution is to blame for weak sales in France, Germany, and Spain. Where banks are the key distribution channel, their focus on gathering deposits to shore up their own capital, or offering guaranteed funds to ultra conservative investors, is hurting FoF sales.

The EBA details the EU measures to restore confidence in the banking sector

October 26, 2011--The European Banking Authority (EBA) supports the agreement at EU level on measures to restore confidence in the banking sector. These measures form part of a broader package aimed at addressing the current situation in the EU by restoring stability and confidence in the markets. Their implementation is conditional on the other components of the package being fully clarified and endorsed.

The EBA’s contribution to the overall package focuses on the capital and term funding needs in the EU banking sector against the backdrop of the increasing concerns regarding sovereign debt.

Term funding guarantee scheme

Notwithstanding the European Central Bank’s (ECB) support for banks short term funding needs, additional steps are required to restart the term unsecured funding market. This would help banks to continue their lending activities in 2012 and to avoid a spiral of forced deleveraging and the ensuing credit crunches, which would affect the real economy.

Largest ever EU rebellion rocks British PM

October 25, 2011--David Cameron on Monday suffered his largest parliamentary rebellion since becoming prime minister as 79 Conservative MPs defied their leader to vote in favour of holding a referendum on Britain's EU membership.

Cameron's government, which is against holding a referendum, in the end won the House of Commons vote 483-111 due to support from the Liberal Democrats -- the Conservatives' euro-friendly junior coalition partners -- and the main opposition Labour Party.

But the eurosceptic wing of the Conservative Party delivered Cameron a blow by ignoring whip pressure to vote in favour of a referendum in the biggest show of internal party dissent since he took office in May 2010.
