| 20/06/2012 | 2012/378 | Operation of notifications of MiFID Article 41 suspensions and removals of financial instruments from trading | MiFID - Secondary Markets | Reference | PDF 353.3 KB |
This protocol has been created to ensure effective co-operation between Competent Authorities (CAs) with respect to their obligations under Article 41 of MiFID (Suspension and removal of in-struments from trading).The purpose of the notification obligations under Article 41 is to afford investors across all Mem-ber States the same level of protection regardless of where they trade. In order to achieve this outcome, a shared understanding of the different circumstances under which trading may be suspended in different Member States according to their national law and the expected course of action under Article 41 is helpful. To ensure trading is suspended or an instrument is removed from trading in an effective and timely way, an effective communication process is necessary.The protocol will be kept under review in light of practical experience. | |||
| 29/06/2012 | 2012/415 | Call for Evidence on Empty Voting | Transparency, Corporate Disclosure | CESR Document | PDF 275.66 KB |
ESMA launched a Call for Evidence on Empty Voting in September 2011 to analyse the potential issues and concerns raised by the practice of empty voting and to examine whether there was a possible need for further action. An analysis of the responses received to the consultation has led ESMA to conclude that there is insufficient evidence to justify any regulatory action at the European level at present. | |||

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) is seeking to appoint new members to its Group of Economic Advisors (GEA) for the Committee for Economic and Markets Analysis (CEMA).

| 11/06/2014 | ESMA/WP/2 | ESMA Working Paper- The systemic dimension of hedge fund illiquidity and prime brokerage | Risk Analysis & Economics - Markets Infrastructure Investors | Reference | PDF 839.63 KB |
We analyse the potentially vulnerable and systemically relevant financial intermediation chain established by hedge funds and prime brokers. Our dataset covers the 306 largest global hedge funds and their prime brokers over the period July 2001 to December 2011. The study illustrates that hedge funds and prime brokers act as complementary trading partners in normal times. However, we observe that this form of financial intermediation may be severely impaired in times of market distress. This can be explained by the hoarding of liquid securities by prime brokers who are eager to avert runs by their clients. | |||
| 11/06/2014 | ESMA/WP/1 | ESMA Working Paper- Monitoring the European CDS market through networks: Implications for contagion risks | Risk Analysis & Economics - Markets Infrastructure Investors | Reference | PDF 1005.17 KB |
Based on a unique data set referencing exposures on single name credit default swaps (CDS) on European reference entities, we study the structure and the topology of the European CDS market and its evolution from 2008 to 2012, resorting to network analysis. The structural features revealed show bilateral CDS exposures describing growing scale-free networks whose highly interconnected hubs constitute both a strength and weakness for the stability of the system. The potential “super spreaders” of financial contagion, identified as the most interconnected participants, consist mostly of banks. For some of them net notional exposures may be particularly large relative to their total common equity. Our findings also point to the importance of some non-dealer/non-bank participants belonging to the shadow banking system. | |||
| 18/06/2014 | 2014/639 | Call for expressions of interest regarding the renewal of the Consultative Working Group of the ESMA Secondary Markets Standing Committee | MiFID - Secondary Markets | Reference | PDF 131.06 KB |
The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) is looking to newly constitute a Consultative Working Group (CWG) for the ESMA Secondary Markets Standing Committee (SMSC) as the two-year-term of the existing CWG has recently expired. ESMA is therefore calling for expressions of interest from stakeholders to become a member of the CWG by 13 July 2014. The application form should be accompanied by a CV. The model European CV is recommended.It is optional for applicants, though recommended, to attach a letter of motivation. | |||

| 15/01/2015 | ESMA/WP/2015/1 | ESMA Working Paper- Real-world and risk-neutral probabilities in the regulation on the transparency of structured products | Risk Analysis & Economics - Markets Infrastructure Investors | Reference | PDF 480.24 KB |
The price of derivatives (and hence of structured products) can be calculated as the discounted value of expected future payoffs, assuming standard hypotheses on frictionless and complete markets and on the type of stochastic processes for the price of the underlying. However, the probabilities used in the pricing process do not represent “real” probabilities of future events, because they are based on the assumption that market participants are risk-neutral. This paper reviews the relevant mathematical finance literature, and clarifies that the risk-neutrality hypothesis is acceptable for pricing, but not to forecast the future value of an asset. Therefore, we argue that regulatory initiatives that mandate intermediaries to give retail investors information on the probability that, at a future date, the value of a derivative will be higher or lower than a given threshold (so-called “probability scenarios”) should explicitly reference probabilities that take into account the risk premium (so-called “real-world” probabilities). We also argue that, though probability scenarios may look appealing to foster investor protection, their practical implementation, if based on the right economic approach, raises significant regulatory and enforcement problems. | |||
