The use of EURIBOR
We spoke with Jean-Louis Schirmann, CEO of The European Money Markets Institute, who told us how Euribor was impacted by the adoption of the Benchmark Regulation and what the relevant features of the reformed Euribor are for investment managers. We asked him whether EURIBOR’s continuity is ensured for the long term and if €STR-based term rates should be used as EURIBOR fallback rates.

Ensuring a market structure and a transparency regime which facilitate liquidity, investors’ choice, and funding of companies | Joint statement
Well-functioning and liquid capital markets are fostered by an efficient market structure and supporting legislative frameworks. A diverse and efficient market structure reduces the costs of trading whilst promoting best execution. This optimises funding opportunities for issuers and maximises returns for investors and savers.

3 questions to Miranda Seath on the European fund classification
Q #1 What is the European Fund Classification (EFC) and why is it different from other classifications?
The mission at the heart of our work on the European Fund Classification scheme is to help investors, and the wider European funds industry, to find and compare similar fund peer groups in a meaningful way. This mission is particularly relevant in an era of rising cross-border fund sales because the EFC enables investors and their advisers to compare funds across different European jurisdictions consistently.
