British Parliament rejects Theresa May's Brexit deal, leaving withdrawal from E.U. and prime minister's political future in doubt
January 15, 2019--With just 73 days to go until Britain is scheduled to leave the European Union, lawmakers Tuesday overwhelmingly rejected-by a vote of 432 to 202-the withdrawal deal painstakingly negotiated between Prime Minister Theresa May and her European counterparts.
The landslide vote was pure humiliation for a British leader who has spent the past two years trying to sell her vision of Brexit to a skeptical public, and her failure raised serious questions about how- and if-Britain will leave the E.U. as promised on March 29.

EU approves new rules on occupational pensions
January 14, 2019--The EU agreed new rules for work pension funds Thursday, in a bid to improve the way they are governed and to enhance clarity in the information that is provided to pension savers.
The EU Parliament, Council and the Commission agreed on a proposal for a revised Directive on occupational pension funds, known as IORP2.
The Commission says the directive will improve the way pension funds are governed, make it easier for pension funds to conduct cross-border business and provide clear information to pension scheme members and beneficiaries. These rules will make it easier for pension funds to invest in long-term assets, strengthening the role they can play in the Capital Markets Union.

Monday Morning Memo: ETFs- Another Strong Year Ahead
January 14, 2019--A view on the overall fund flows in mutual funds for the year 2018 in Europe revealed it was rather a tough year for the fund industry. A more detailed view shows there were different trends driving fund flows.
The year started with net inflows in all product categories over the course of the first quarter, followed by rather sluggish inflows in mutual funds over the summer and large outflows from these products in the fourth quarter.
Conversely, ETFs enjoyed another good year with inflows in every single month of 2018. Even as some market observers saw a slowdown in the trend towards ETFs, from my point of view even compared to 2017 lower flows in 2018 are a clear commitment of investors to ETFs since it looks like ETFs have once again become the tool of choice for investors in shaky markets.
