Flight-to-Quality- and Liquidity-Related Variation in the Correlations and Mean Returns across Stocks and T-Bonds Abstract Over the crisis-rich 1997 to 2005 period, we document new time-series and cross-sectional evidence which suggests a sizable flight-to-quality- and liquidity-related variation in the correla- tions and mean returns across stocks and T-Bonds. Our collective results support the premise of a \searching" in the relative valuation of stocks and bonds during times of market stress. First, higher levels of stock implied volatility (IV) and stock illiquidity and higher time-series variability in stock IV are associated with both: (1) a much lower correlation in the subsequent returns of stock and T-bond returns, and (2) much greater time-series variability in the subsequent stock IV and illiquidity values.

  • OTC Markets Group Inc. Operates the OTCQX® Best Market, the OTCQB® Venture Market and the Pink® Open Market for 10,000 U.S
    September 24, 2019 Via Electronic Submission Securities and Exchange Commission 100 F Street, NE Washington, DC 20549-1090 [email protected] Re: Comments to the Concept Release on Harmonization of Securities Offering Exemptions (File Number S7-08-19) OTC Markets Group1 is pleased to submit this comment letter in response to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC” or the “Commission”) Concept Release on Harmonization of Securities Offering Exemptions. As the operator of markets where over 10,000 securities are traded, and as a publicly traded company ourselves, OTC Markets Group supports the benefits of public markets and their capacity to create capital growth opportunities for companies and investors. Public trading markets serve a basic purpose: to support investors that lawfully own, or would like to own, a piece of property – in this case, shares of a company – and their fundamental right to trade that property with interested counterparties. The ability of a shareholder to walk into a broker’s office, deposit their shares, and trade through their brokerage account has long been a central aspect of property ownership. Restrictions on an individual’s ability to buy or sell securities are a reduction of private property rights. As public trading has grown more complex over time, so too has the web of regulation designed to protect investors and promote orderly markets. These rules of fair play support our economy and have made our capital markets an example for the world to follow. We must also recognize that well-meaning regulation comes with a significant burden that has reduced the use of registered securities offerings, raised the costs of being SEC reporting, and lowered the number of companies that choose to be public.

  • Quarterly Financial Statements 3Q20
    QUARTERLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3Q20 INFORMAÇÃO INTERNA – INTERNAL INFORMATION C O M M E N T S O N P E R F O R M A N C E – 3Q20 Dear Shareholders, B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (“B3” or “Company”) hereby submits for your consideration the Management’s Discussion & Analysis regarding the activities performed in the third quarter of 2020 (3Q20). MESSAGE FROM B3’S MANAGEMENT In the third quarter of 2020, we began to see a gradual relaxation of social distancing restrictions and a controlled re-opening of the economy, even as uncertainties remain regarding possible new Covid-19 waves. In a scenario of low current inflation, and with the authorities’ intention of stimulating economic activity, monetary easing measures continued to advance during the period, with the basic interest rate reaching its lowest historical level in August (2% p.a.). This intensified local investors’ willingness to seek alternatives to diversify their portfolios. Since the beginning of the year, the number of retail investors in our depository has increased by 84%, reaching 3.1 million accounts in September, a significant growth that spurred higher volumes traded on our platforms, in line with the trend we observed in the first half of 2020. We also started to note the recovery of the vehicle financing market, which in September posted the best monthly performance year to date. During this time of strong volumes, we continued to operate with most of our teams working remotely, prioritizing the availability and stability of our platforms, reaffirming our commitment to excellence and operational resilience, and strengthening our position as a safe and robust infrastructure for our clients and the market.

The financial industry debacle of 2008 was compounded in the exchange space by existing low barriers to entry for numerous, low cost, new trading venues which resulted in hyper competition for most stock markets. The resulting squeeze on volumes and margins was evident within both Europe and North America.
