DC Advisory Spain CEO, Manuel Zulueta, and Managing Director, Joaquín Gonzalo Mira, discuss why the anticipated uptick in M&A activity should reverse this trend, increasing the volume of LBOs in the second half of the year.

Looking for a New Investment Strategy for a Higher Sharper Ratio? Monarque Portugal Securities Fund may be the answer   “The expert analysed the return of model portfolios from 1990 to the present day and found that the introduction of 30% of alternative strategies (with a combination that varies depending on the economic regime) optimises the profile of the traditional portfolio, both in terms of profitability and risk. The conclusion is, therefore: the 40/30/30 portfolio is viable alternative to the classic 60/40.” Golden Monarque manages a fund with these characteristics and is currently open for subscriptions: the MPS Fund, which invests in unmatched and unique diversified investment instruments, such as listed securities that ensure dynamic market exposure, private equity instruments which contribute to long-term value creation, and bank deposits that provide a foundation of security and liquidity.     Link: https://lnkd.in/dG3RBRYX

#SUERFpolicybrief “How do financial markets’ view risks in the global banking sector? A heatmap with a novel thermometer” by Martin Saldias (Banco de Portugal) & Martin Scheicher (European Central Bank) Against the background of stress in the global banking system in spring 2023, we introduce a methodology to analyse how traders view risks in the banking sector. Our System-wide Bank Risk Sentiment Tracker (“sBRST”) relies on information from equities, credit spreads and options. We find that traders were surprised by the materialisation of banking risks last year. We also observe rapid shock transmission. At the time of writing, stress indicators continue to hover above their historical means. The March 2023 banking turmoil was the most significant stress event for European and US banks since the Great Financial Crisis in 2008. It started with the forced takeovers of Silicon Valley Bank, First Republic and Signature in the US, which were organized after an unprecedented digital run, and culminated in the sale of Credit Suisse, a Globally Systemically Important Bank (GSIB), to UBS. The bank failures, while having largely distinct causes, triggered a wave of question marks about the resilience of banks across multiple jurisdictions. This article applies a new and comprehensive methodology to assess the markets’ perception about risks in the banking sector in the euro area and the US. Our main finding is that despite improvements in markets’ risk sentiment towards banks there is still lingering awareness about risks in the banking sector in markets due to persistent vulnerabilities that banking macro and micro supervision need to continue monitoring and addressing. https://lnkd.in/dkRJcDfy #BankingSystem #SystemicRisk #Monitoring #FinancialMarkets

Distribution #retrocessions embedded in #fundmanagement fees, a ‘fee-only’ model, have been a feature of European #funddistribution practices for many years. Proponents argue that ‘fee-based models’ make it easier for advisers to actually generate added value for their clients because they select suitable investment solutions independently of commission incentives. In the past several years, however, this bundling of distribution and #investmentmanagement fees has become the target of increased scrutiny from legislators and regulators across Europe.

🔥 News 🔹 A strong representation of Scope Fluidics is just back from Luxembourg, where, at the invitation of the European Investment Bank (EIB), we participated in the EIB European Venture Debt Summit event. ◾ Together with 200 other participants - mainly CEOs and CFOs of companies that are beneficiaries of Venture Debt tools under the support of the organizer, representatives of investment funds, advisors and representatives of the European Commission and EIB - we discussed the development of the European innovation ecosystem.    Szymon Ruta, CFO of Scope Fluidics said: - We have repeatedly shown that we can effectively use various financial instruments and create new standards in this regard. (...) The success of the record-breaking sale of Polish deeptech would not have been possible without the combination of all these sources.
