New equity ETFs from SPDR on Xetra: Access to high-quality companies from the US and worldwide
December 9, 2024-Since Monday, two new exchange-traded funds from State Street Global Advisors have been tradable via Xetra and Börse Frankfurt.
The SPDR S&P 500 Quality Aristocrats UCITS ETF measures the performance of U.S. companies with higher quality characteristics than the S&P 500 Index. To do this, the selected companies must first have a positive free cash flow (FCF) over several years.
The 100 companies that have the highest rating of FCF margin and FCF yield on a 5-year average are then selected.
The SPDR S&P Developed Quality Aristocrats UCITS ETF uses the same approach with the S&P Developed LargeMidCap Index as it's main index, investing in 100 large and mid-cap companies from developed markets that have the highest quality rating of FCF margin and FCF return.
These are accumulating share classes in which the returns are reinvested.

Finansinspektionen: Stability In The Financial System (2024:2): Improved Outlook, But Risk Of Set-Backs
November 20, 2024--The outlook for financial stability has improved somewhat in the past six months. Sweden continues to experience a mild economic downturn, but interest rate cuts are contributing to improved optimism about the future. At the same time, the uncertain global economic and geopolitical situation is leading to heightened risks, in part in the form of cyber attacks. These are the conclusions of FI's second stability report for the year.
Sweden is experiencing a mild economic downturn, and unemployment is relatively high. The Riksbank's interest rate cuts are contributing to increased optimism about the future, primarily among households. The banks have high resilience, and credit growth in the financial system is dampened.
Household finances continue to be under pressure, and interest expenses are high. Many households are restrictive in their consumption.

Transition risk losses alone unlikely to threaten EU financial stability, "Fit-For-55" climate stress test shows
November 19, 2024--The European Supervisory Authorities (EBA, EIOPA, and ESMA-the ESAs) together with the European Central Bank (ECB), today released the results of the one-off "Fit-For-55" climate scenario analysis.
Under the scenarios examined, transition risks alone are unlikely to threaten financial stability. However, when transition risks are combined with macroeconomic shocks, they can increase losses for financial institutions and may lead to disruptions.
This calls for a coordinated policy approach to financing the green transition and the need for financial institutions to integrate climate risks into their risk management in a comprehensive and timely manner.
Objectives
The European Commission invited the ESAs and the ECB to assess the impact on the EU banking, investment fund, occupational pension fund and insurance sectors of three transition scenarios incorporating the implementation of the Fit-for-55 package, as well as the potential for contagion and amplification effects across the financial system.

ESMA proposes to move to T+1 by October 2027
November 18, 2024--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU's financial markets regulator and supervisor, has published its Final Report providing the assessment of the shortening of the settlement cycle in the European Union (EU).
The report highlights that the increased efficiency and resilience of post-trade processes that should be prompted by a move to T+1 would facilitate achieving the objective of further promoting settlement efficiency in the EU, contributing to market integration and to the Savings and Investment Union objectives.
ESMA recommends that the migration to T+1 occurs simultaneously across all relevant instruments and that it is achieved in Q4 2027. Considering the different elements assessed by ESMA, in particular the difficulties linked to the go-live of such a big project in November and December, and the challenges linked to the first Monday of October (just after the end of a quarter), ESMA recommends 11 October 2027 as the optimal date for the transition to T+1 in the EU. ESMA also suggests following a coordinated approach with other jurisdictions in Europe
