ICI Welcomes IOSCO’S Call to Focus on Products and Activities in Asset Management

By Paul Schott Stevens

June 17, 2015

ICI President and CEO Paul Schott Stevens today issued the following statement in response to the communiqué released today by the Board of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO):

“We strongly commend the IOSCO Board for its conclusion that ongoing international regulatory efforts to address systemic risk should focus on activities and products in the asset management sector, and that this should take precedence over development of methodologies for designation of entities as systemically important.

“As we have said repeatedly, asset management is a diverse enterprise, and effective risk mitigation in this area requires consideration of activities that are sector-wide. IOSCO and its member securities regulators, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, have the requisite experience and expertise to lead this effort.

“We look forward to assisting in IOSCO’s review as it examines regulated funds and their advisers. We are confident that such a review will demonstrate that designation of funds or their managers is unnecessary.”

Paul Schott Stevens is president and CEO of ICI.

The IMF on Asset Management: Sorting the Retail and Institutional Investor “Herds”

By Sean Collins

June 4, 2015

Part of a series of ICI Viewpoints about problems in the IMF’s analysis of the asset management industry.

In this ICI Viewpoints series, we’re examining the wide range of data errors, inconsistencies, results that don’t bear statistical scrutiny, and misinterpretations in the International Monetary Fund’s April 2015 Global Financial Stability Report (GFSR)—specifically, the chapter on “The Asset Management Industry and Financial Stability.” These problems undercut the IMF’s conclusion that “Even simple investment funds such as mutual funds can pose financial stability risks.”

By Christina Kilroy

The future of investment advice—as embodied in the youngest cohort of working Americans, known as the Millennial Generation—was the focus of a panel of financial services industry leaders at ICI’s 57th General Membership Meeting. The approximately 75 million 18- to 34-year-olds that make up the group have now overtaken Generation X (ages 35 to 50) as the largest generational group in the workforce, according to Pew Research Center.

The IMF on Asset Management: Which Herd to Follow?

By Sean Collins

June 1, 2015

Part of a series of ICI Viewpoints about problems in the IMF’s analysis of the asset management industry.

In April 2015, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) published its most recent Global Financial Stability Report (GFSR), which included a chapter titled, “The Asset Management Industry and Financial Stability.”

We have heard suggestions from more than one observer that the IMF’s GFSR Chapter on asset management provides a wealth of charts, tables, and data to support regulators’ case that regulated funds or asset managers could pose systemic risks.
