-First Trust Advisors L.P. ("First Trust"),a leading exchange-traded fund ("ETF") provider and asset manager,announced today that it has launched a new ETF,the FT Energy Income Partners Strategy ETF (NYSE Arca: EIPX) (the "fund").

How the US Inflation Reduction Act will impact the economy
November 2, 2022--New US legislation will dramatically change the economics of industrial decarbonization.
Critics of the Inflation Reduction Act claim that it will increase inflation by pushing up energy prices.
In fact, the new laws do not exacerbate inflation now, and are likely to have a deflationary impact in the long term.
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is widely recognized as a compelling nudge from the US government to private sector and investors to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors. It clears the path for many climate financiers and investors to move companies towards net zero. But can its incentive-based policies work in the context of a looming recession, spiking inflation, and oil shortage?

Federal Reserve issues FOMC statement
November 2, 2022--Recent indicators point to modest growth in spending and production. Job gains have been robust in recent months,and the unemployment rate has remained low. Inflation remains elevated,reflecting supply and demand imbalances related to the pandemic,higher food and energy prices,and broader price pressures.
Russia's war against Ukraine is causing tremendous human and economic hardship. The war and related events are creating additional upward pressure on inflation and are weighing on global economic activity. The Committee is highly attentive to inflation risks.
The Committee seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2 percent over the longer run. In support of these goals,the Committee decided to raise the target range for the federal funds rate to 3-3/4 to 4 percent. The Committee anticipates that ongoing increases in the target range will be appropriate in order to attain a stance of monetary policy that is sufficiently restrictive to return inflation to 2 percent over time. In determining the pace of future increases in the target range,the Committee will take into account the cumulative tightening of monetary policy,the lags with which monetary policy affects economic activity and inflation,and economic and financial developments.

SEC Proposes Enhancements to Open-End Fund Liquidity Framework
November 2, 2022--The Securities and Exchange Commission today voted to propose amendments to better prepare open-end funds for stressed conditions and to mitigate dilution of shareholders' interests. The rule and form amendments would enhance how funds manage their liquidity risks, require mutual funds to implement liquidity management tools, and provide for more timely and detailed reporting of fund information.
"A defining feature of open-end funds is the ability for shareholders to redeem their shares daily, in both normal times and times of stress," said SEC Chair Gary Gensler. "Open-end funds, though, have an underlying structural liquidity mismatch. This can raise issues for investor protection, our capital markets, and the broader economy. We saw such systemic issues during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, when many investors sought to redeem their investments from open-end funds. Today's proposal addresses these investor protection and resiliency challenges."

US ETFs draw almost $500bn of inflows despite grim year for Wall St
November 2, 2022--Fresh surge in new client money contrasts $790bn suffered by mutual funds
US exchange traded funds have pulled in almost $500bn in new client money this year as investors continue a powerful shift into the vehicles despite a historic pullback in stock and bond markets.
The inflows are well below last year's full-year tally of $935bn but in line to overtake the record before that of $501bn in 2020, according to data from the Investment Company Institute through October 26. In contrast, long-term US mutual funds -which exclude vehicles that act as alternatives to holding cash-have seen net outflows of $790bn in 2022, far worse than the decline of $59bn last year and $484bn in 2020.
