When the future changes the past: fiscal indicator revisions

January 5, 2021--The 2020 pandemic economic shock has led to reassessment of fiscal policy measures in 2018 and earlier, because of faulty measurement of unobserved output gaps and structural balances.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent economic distress caught everyone by surprise. In late 2019, forecasts suggested some economic growth in Europe and elsewhere in 2020, while current projections suggest a 7.4% drop in European Union GDP in 2020. No forecaster should be blamed for not foreseeing the pandemic.

ETF costs: what is an OCF or TER and why is it important to know?

January 4, 2021--Regulators want fund fee disclosures to be comparable because charges erode returns
Owners of all funds, including exchange traded funds, have to pay ongoing fees just for owning them. It is important to know how much they are because research has shown that fees can significantly reduce returns over time.
