MIRABAUD LAUNCHES GLOBAL EQUITY HIGH INCOME FUND

The fund will be managed by Kirill Pyshkin who joined Mirabaud earlier this year from Aviva Investors where he was a senior fund manager, global equities, in charge of the flagship retail equity fund in the Irish market Aviva Ireland High Yield Equity and all other active global equity funds with assets under management of more than.

CAN CROWDFUNDING AND MINI BONDS WORK IN HARMONY

The mini-bond market is set to boom, according to figures from Capita Registrars, which suggest it could grow to £1 billion this year and to a staggering £8 billion over the next five years, as investors increasingly look to put their money into them.
Mini bonds are becoming especially popular with growth companies, as well as more established brands, as a way of securing growth finance without having to go to the banks.  They give customers the opportunity to give something back by investing in their favourite brands, while securing their future growth and success.

CAN CROWDFUNDING AND MINI BONDS WORK IN HARMONY

Hotel Chocolat, one example of a company that has used mini bonds to great effect, raised money to expand its farm in the Caribbean and its range in its shops, and when the Jockey Club needed funds, it launched a bond, raising almost £25m – far exceeding its initial target of £15m.

INDUSTRY UNPREPARED FOR THE NEW WORLD OF OTC DERIVATIVES TRADING

It is still early days in the trading of over the counter (OTC) derivatives on swap execution facilities (SEFs) and organised trading facilities (OTFs). Even though it has been over four years since the G20 first proposed initiatives to mitigate systemic risk and promote transparency in the global OTC derivatives market, practitioners believe the industry is still in the throes of a revolution and remains unprepared to face a rapidly evolving marketplace. 

 Industry Unprepared For The New World Of OTC Derivatives Trading

The Dodd-Frank Act in the US and European Markets Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) in Europe represent a paradigm shift in the global financial regulatory environment. The impact of these regulations is being felt around the world, particularly the mandate of executing all derivatives subject to a clearing obligation on a regulated market, SEF or OTF. This is a significant change as it is one that alters how the market operates as well as how market participants conduct business.

U.S. FINANCIAL MARKETS: BOTH LAGGARDS AND TRENDSETTERS

U.S. capital markets typically define how the rest of the world markets operate; more financial investments are made in the U.S. than in any other country. But this supremacy hasn’t always translated to leading business and technology practices. There are situations where U.S. markets are lagging behind or have operated with known issues, and it’s important to understand where the pitfalls are/were:  

 us-markets

Decimalisation of stocks – Unlike other markets, U.S. stocks were quoted in fractions (e.g. price of stock XYU is $4 1/16 instead of $4.18) instead of decimals until 2001.  A quote in fractions results in market inefficiency, higher costs and price manipulation.  

TRADE FINANCE: THE KEY TO UNLOCKING GLOBAL ECONOMIC GROWTH


Vincent O’Brien, Chair of the International Chambers of Commerce (ICC) Banking Commission’s Market Intelligence Group, discusses the findings of the two recent ICC reports: Global Survey 2014 – Rethinking Trade and Finance and the Trade Register Report 2014.  The ICC has long been an advocate of trade finance as a means to unlocking global economic growth. Our two most recent reports have, however, added fuel to our fire with respect to providing useable data that both the market and policy-makers can use when assessing the impact of trade finance.

Vincent O'Brien

Together, the Global Survey 2014: Rethinking Trade and Finance (the “Survey”) and the Trade Register Report 2014 (the “Register”), form a powerful body of work for the ICC’s advocacy of trade finance as a low risk financing technique, aimed at fostering global economic growth.

FOREX TRADING FOUNDATIONS: MANAGING MONEY AND RISK

To mark Admiral Market’s first birthday, Chris explains the importance of clear money and risk management in a trader’s first 12 months.
Profitability within the first year of Forex trading is a realistic and attainable target for novice retail traders. But this outcome is dependant on many different factors. As an education Forex strategist, there is one aspect of trading which many beginners fail to develop: a professional money and risk management strategy.

money-risk-management

It sounds daunting, but developing these systems and strategies is much easier than one might think. Those traders who take the time to develop a methodology of protecting their capital are demonstrating one key trait which separates the winners and losers in Forex trading. It’s called ‘professionalism’. Those who treat Forex as their profession always do better than those who dedicate no time to performing the basics competently.

BANKING TECHNOLOGY SUPPORTS BUILDING SOCIETY GROWTH

From my unique vantage point of serving both UK building societies and European banks, I can see that societies typically differ from banks in the way they approach technology. Traditionally, mutuals have been very good at maintaining solid and reliable systems to underpin their core business. But where building societies have scored less highly to date compared to banks, arguably, is in using technology to drive innovation.

 Ahmed Michla

It hasn’t always been this way: Nottingham was one of the first users of e-banking in the world, but it does seem to be the general rule of thumb that this side of the UK financial services market has been slow to use technology as aggressively as their banking counterparts. The opportunity for societies over the months ahead is to redress that balance – not so much by following where banks have gone before them, but in delivering the most appropriate experiences for their own customers both retail and intermediary, so that everyone continues to deliver growth.

WHY BIG DATA IS DRIVING THE INSURANCE SECTOR TO THE CLOUD

market to expand at a compound annual growth rate of more than 31 per cent to be worth nearly $24 billion in 2016, it is important that businesses understand that to unlock the true potential of big data they need to implement a cloud strategy first.

 Why Big Data Is Driving The Insurance Sector To The Cloud
 
It is clear that a growing number of business leaders are turning to the cloud to help gain a competitive edge for their organisations as well as looking for new and efficient ways of working. In 2013 a study by KPMG study revealed that the use of cloud dominated boardroom planning, with  42 per cent of UK organisations revealing that at least one-fifth of their total IT spend in the next 12 months would focus on cloud services. However while the business benefits of moving to the cloud may be clear for many, insurers are finding the challenge of marrying data, security and the cloud a tricky one.

SOFTWARE-DEFINED STORAGE SAVING THE ECONOMY

Faced with the challenge of an explosion of data from macro trends like social media, mobile, the Internet of Things, and Big Data, many organisations are faced with snowballing technology requirements and yet declining IT budgets that mean doing more with less.

 

Storage is often the highest single line item in these reduced or static IT budgets, making the strategy of throwing more storage hardware at the data explosion problem less and less acceptable. Many of today’s organisations, such as picturemaxx, University of Sussex and the Institut of Laue Langevin have found a way to step away from such a MESS (massively expensive storage systems) solution and have discovered more scalable, flexible, available and cost effective storage solutions – Software-Defined Storage (SDS) solutions.
Open Source SDS solutions can be deployed in conjunction with industry standard hardware, avoiding the vendor lock-in of expensive proprietary models. This gives organisations the freedom to choose their hardware, ensuring they always get the right hardware their requirements and with the right price.  Democratising infrastructure in this way delivers cost savings of up to 80%.

COST OF UK CREDIT CARD DEBT COULD BE HALVED WITH ALTERNATIVE FINANCE

UK consumers pay £3.2 billion per annum too much on expensive credit card debt annually, warns peer to peer (P2P) lending firm Madiston LendLoanInvest.  This is despite a wealth of alternative finance options, like P2P lending, being available on the market that could reduce borrowing costs.  Madiston LendLoanInvest has built a unique debt consolidation process into its peer to peer lending which gives lenders accurate information about the proposed loan and doesn’t disadvantage borrowers in the calculation.

Cost Of UK Credit Card Debt Could Be Halved With Alternative Finance

Annual credit card interest costs borrowers around £6.04 billion, based on an average interest rate of 17.1 per cent, with the typical UK consumer holding up to five cards each. If UK borrowers considered consolidating  credit card debt with a P2P loan on a site like Madiston LendLoanInvest at around 8 per cent, then as much as £3.22 billion could be wiped off their 
credit card bills, leaving a drastically reduced debt cost of £2.82 billion per annum.
 

RISKS AND REWARDS IN FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGY

The purported Chinese curse, May you live in interesting times, remains as apt as ever in the global financial markets and for those providing financial technology services. Fintech delivery has never been straightforward at the best of times, but the changing geopolitical landscape presents new uncertainty for a sector that has barely recovered from the aftermath of the global economic downturn.


As technology markets evolve, geopolitics has become an unlikely determining factor in a firm’s technology strategy and its ability to grow and meet the needs of its business. Whether viewed from the point of a fintech provider or consumer, geopolitical factors now almost certainly play a role in the outcome of technology projects.
Firms are having to react accordingly by adopting their own geopolitical stance. Earlier this year, a Russian IT services supplier was forced to relocate its headquarters to Switzerland in light of the growing tensions between East and West. Its clients, including several European banks, were forced to place key IT initiatives on hold until this relocation ‘workaround’ was agreed.

MARKET READINESS FOR HOST CARD EMULATION (HCE) MOBILE PAYMENTS

Mobile payments continue to make headlines. Trials have come and gone and cross-industry relationships have been set up and crumbled after the honeymoon period. Many of us, I’m sure, have questioned whether mobile NFC payments would ever become a mass-market reality.

mobile-banking

Google changed all of this with one announcement in 2013. The incorporation of host card emulation (HCE) into the Android platform brought significant relief to many of the key banks and service providers that have been trying to make progress in launching mobile payments using USIM secure elements.

THINKING BEYOND FINANCE – USING DATA INSIGHT TO DRIVE BUSINESS CHANGE

Once you’ve gone through an efficiency drive, streamlined operations and automated processes within your business, a common question is often ‘what’s next?’  Nowhere is this truer than the finance department – as an organisational cost centre it’s frequently one of the first areas of a business to be put under pressure to cut costs and do more with less.

Christina Bowe


This process often starts with accounts payable often the most admin- intensive operation within the finance department and indeed perhaps the whole business. For many organisations, the volume of invoices being received, tracked, processed and paid requires significant time and resource to run smoothly. Automating this process and being able to scan, track, process and store invoices automatically streamlines day-to-day operations, leading to fewer errors, reduced document storage requirements, faster processing and a more efficient use of human resources. Rather than spending considerable amounts of time on processing invoices manually, AP staff are freed up to deal with out of the ordinary issues and queries and improve the service they offer.

375 MILLION CUSTOMER DATA RECORDS COMPROMISED

a global leader in data protection solutions, today released the highlights from its SafeNet Breach Level Index (BLI) for the second quarter of 2014. Between April and June of this year, there were a total of 237 breaches that compromised more than 175 million customer records of personal and financial information worldwide.  

 375 MILLION CUSTOMER DATA RECORDS COMPROMISED IN 2014 – RETAIL INDUSTRY HIT HARDEST

For the first half of 2014, more than 375 million customer records were stolen or lost as a result of 559 breaches worldwide.  The retail industry had more data records compromised than any other industry during the second quarter, with more than145 million records stolen or lost, or 83 per cent of all data records breached.  Less than one per cent of all 237 breaches during the second quarter were secure breaches where strong encryption or authentication solutions protected the data from being used.

WHAT THE BANKS CAN LEARN FROM ONLINE FOR DATING

The banking or finance sector could learn a trick or two from the online dating industry is laughable. After all, while the former is heavily regulated, deeply complex and integral to our economy; the latter is frivolous by comparison.

What The Banks Can Learn From Online Dating
Dating, as is often said, is a numbers game! And organisations such as Match.com, eHarmony and Zoosk rely on very sophisticated technology as they sift through vast customer bases to create the most compatible couples. Specially, they rely on data to build the most nuanced portraits of their members that they can, so they can find the best matches. This is a business-critical activity for dating sites – the more successful the matching, the better revenues will be.
One of the ways they do this is through graph databases. These differ from relational

today. It has created a generation of consumers who demand ever more freedom and accessibility to services, while also granting companies an unparalleled chance to understand and engage with their customers.
