  • IG Response to the Consultation on the Protection of Retail Investors in Relation to the Distribution of Cfds
    IG Response to the Consultation on the Protection of Retail Investors in relation to the Distribution of CFDs. We would like to thank the CBI for giving us the opportunity to respond to the Consultation on the Protection of Retail Investors in relation to the Distribution of CFDs. This is an area that we feel very strongly about and we agree that as an industry we must take steps to protect retail clients. One of our main concerns is that the disproportionate implementation of investor protection measures may guide retail clients towards irresponsible firms that are outside the control or influence of the CBI, or indeed of any other EEA regulatory body. We hope that our response, including the quantitative analysis that has been provided and summarised within the appendices to this response, is useful and insightful and we ask that this information is given due consideration as part of the consultation process. 1. Which of the options outlined in this paper do you consider will most effectively and proportionately address the investor protection risks associated with the sale or distribution of CFDs to retail clients? Please give reasons for your answer. We believe that Option 2 would be the more effective and proportionate of the two options offered in CP107 (though we disagree with the details of the suggested leverage restriction regime included within that option – see answer 2(a), below). We think Option 1, a prohibition on the sale or distribution of CFDs to retail clients, would be a counterproductive and disproportionate measure that would be likely to lead to worse client outcomes – both for (i) the set of clients with sufficient understanding and a legitimate need to trade CFDs and (ii) vulnerable clients, for whom CFDs are unsuitable, who will be more likely to be successfully targeted by unscrupulous, unregulated firms.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Articles & Chapters by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@NYLS. The Law and Economics of Hedge Funds: Financial Innovation and Investor Protection Houman B. Shadab t Abstract: A persistent theme underlying contemporary debates about financial regulation is how to protect investors from the growing complexity of financial markets, new risks, and other changes brought about by financial innovation. Increasingly relevant to this debate are the leading innovators of complex investment strategies known as hedge funds. A hedge fund is a private investment company that is not subject to the full range of restrictions on investment activities and disclosure obligations imposed by federal securities laws, that compensates management in part with a fee based on annual profits, and typically engages in the active trading offinancial instruments. Hedge funds engage in financial innovation by pursuing novel investment strategies that lower market risk (beta) and may increase returns attributable to manager skill (alpha). Despite the funds' unique costs and risk properties, their historical performance suggests that the ultimate result of hedge fund innovation is to help investors reduce economic losses during market downturns.

Murphy, Secretary U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 100 F Street, N E Washington, D.C. 20549-1090 RE: NYSE Petition for Rulemaking Under Section 13(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; File No. 4-659 Dear Ms. Murphy: The Vanguard Group, Inc. ("Vanguard") 1 appreciates the opportunity to express its views to the Commission on the petition for rulemaking under Section 13(f) ofthe Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") that was submitted on February I, 2013 by NYSE Euronext ("NYSE"), a long with the Society ofCorporate Secretaries and Governance Professionals and the National Investor Relations Institute (the "NYSE Petition"). We strongly oppose the NYSE Petition's proposed shortening of the reporting deadline applicable to institutional investment managers under Exchange Act Rule 13f-1 from 45 calendar days after calendar quarter end to two business days after calendar quarter end . A shorter delay for release of this information could expand the opportunities for predatory trading practices that ha1m the interests ofmutual fund shareholders. Vanguard's mutual funds and ETFs invest in thousands of issuers to seek to provide long-term investment returns for fund shareholders. We are concerned that the release of information contained in Form 13F reports on a mere two-day delay provides opportunities for hedge funds, speculators, proprietary trading desks, and certain other professional traders to exploit the information in ways that are hmmful to fund shareholders, particularly by "front running" fund trades.

The right action is related to massive stock market measurements. Therefore, defining the right action requires specific knowledge from investors. The economy scientists, following their research, have suggested several strategies and indicating factors that serve to find the best option for trading in a stock market. However, several investors’ capital decreased when they tried to trade the basis of the recommendation of these strategies. That means the stock market needs more satisfactory research, which can give more guarantee of success for investors. To address this challenge, we tried to apply one of the machine learning algorithms, which is called deep reinforcement learning (DRL) on the stock market.

  • Innovation and Informed Trading: Evidence from Industry Etfs
    Innovation and informed trading: Evidence from industry ETFs Shiyang Huang, Maureen O’Hara, and Zhuo Zhong*1 November 2018 We hypothesize that industry exchange traded funds (ETFs) encourage informed trading on underlying firms through facilitating hedging of industry-specific risks. We show that short interest on industry ETFs, reflecting part of the “long-the-stock/short-the-ETF” strategy, positively predicts returns on these ETFs and the percentage of positive earnings announcements of underlying stocks. We also show that hedge funds’ long-short strategy using industry ETFs and industry ETF membership reduces post-earnings-announcement- drift. Our results suggest that financial innovations such as industry ETFs can be beneficial for informational efficiency by helping investors to hedge risks.

  • Vanguard Money Market Funds the Allure of the Outlier
    TheThe buck allure stops of the here: outlier: VanguardA framework money for marketconsidering funds alternative investments Vanguard Research August 2015 Daniel W. Wallick; Douglas M. Grim, CFA; Christos Tasopoulos; James Balsamo n Alternative investments represent investments that are not public equity, public fixed income, or cash. This includes both additional asset classes (real estate and commodities) as well as private instruments (hedge funds, private equity, and private real assets). n Private investments, a major focus of this paper, are not separate asset classes but a form of active management that have, on average, underperformed public markets. n The use of private investments is made more complex by their reduced liquidity and transparency, the difficulty of effective attribution, investors’ weaker legal standing, the wide dispersion of managers’ returns, and higher fees. n Careful evaluation of fund managers is thus crucial in the use of private investments. This has implications for portfolio construction and suggests that, when institutional investors consider using private investments, the traditional top-down asset-class approach is best replaced by a rigorous bottom-up manager-selection process.
