Eurozone tips into recession
November 15, 2012--The 17-nation eurozone tipped into recession in the third quarter, with the economy shrinking 0.1 percent compared with the three months to June when it contracted 0.2 percent, official data showed Thursday.
In comparison, the full 27-state European Union eked out growth of 0.1 percent, again after a contraction of 0.2 percent in the second quarter, the Eurostat statistics service said in a statement.
Recession is defined as two consecutive quarters of decline, putting the eurozone technically in recession as the debt crisis undercuts growth and pushes unemployment soaring to record highs.

Vanguard Takes Aim at U.K. as Fees Replace Commissions
November 15, 2012--Vanguard Group Inc. rose to the top of the U.S. mutual fund industry by preaching the merits of cheap index-tracking funds. Now it wants to convert U.K. investors as that country enacts new rules that may lower fund costs that are among the highest in the developed world.
The firm is seeking to expand its less than 1 percent share of the 629 billion pound ($998 billion) market in the U.K. by more aggressively courting financial advisers, who control much of the country’s fund distribution, and striking deals to make its products more broadly available. Vanguard last month won access to the 13,000 U.K. advisers who use Cofunds, a platform with 45 billion pounds under administration.
