The Italian Asset Management market from an Asset Servicer’s perspectiveNitti, Alessandro January 2016 (has links)
The asset management industry constitutes a vital part of the economy thanks to its financing role. The sector has profoundly changed since its establishment and, nowadays, changes in organization, investors’ behaviour and regulatory framework are deeply reshaping the industry. In this context, also the Italian market, which has traditionally been characterised by some distinguishing features, is being influenced by a series of modifications at both European and national level. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the Italian Asset Management industry’s structure and organisation, understand how it is evolving and grasp the factors that can affect its market to then draw implications influencing the business and operations of an asset servicer. This work divides the Italian Asset Management market into two parts, the Asset Managers segment, including collective management and discretionary mandates, and the Pension Schemes segment. These two composing parts are analysed from an Asset Servicer’s perspective, presenting data over the financial instruments they contain. The paper follows the Case Study approach employing mainly secondary quantitative data. In Italy, the distribution of Asset Management products as well as trading activities remain based on banking networks. In recent years, among collective management products, foreign-law mutual funds are the ones that grew the most. This, along with the fact that the asset servicers’ market is dominate by few specialized players operating on a global scale, puts the spotlight on asset servicers’ cross-border level of integration. Even tough discretionary mandates are struggling to recover and have grown at a slower pace, due to “MiFID II” upcoming rules, financial intermediaries will be encouraged to place these products on the market. Lastly, the Italian pension system is underdeveloped if compared to other European countries and few players own the majority of the complementary pension schemes market. The paper highlights how technology innovations, policies of the ruling governments, interest rates levels and national and communitarian regulation are the factors driving the asset management industry.

Ett generationsneutralt avkastningsmål : Asset Liability Management analys för buffertfonderna i det svenska pensionssystemet / A Generation Neutral Target Return : Asset Liability Management Analysis for the Buffer Funds in the Swedish Pension SystemNyström, Erika, Wirell, Viktoria January 2016 (has links)
Syftet med detta arbete var att fastställa det avkastningsmål som buffertfonderna bör ha för att bidra till största möjliga nytta för det svenska pensionssystemet samt att analysera styrkan och känsligheten i systemet. För att besvara syftet genomfördes en Asset Liability Management analys, där risk och avkastning optimerades samtidigt som hänsyn togs till pensionssystemets skulder och rättvisa mellan generationer. Ett nyckeltal definierades för att ta hänsyn till generationsneutralitet. Nyckeltalet visar hur mycket en generation procentuellt sett får ut i pension relativt vad de har betalat in till pensionssystemet och det anses vara rättvist om detta nyckeltal är samma för samtliga generationer. Utifrån nyckeltalet togs en stokastisk optimeringsmodell fram som minimerade förluster och orättvisor mellan generationer. Avkastningsmålet som fastställdes genom optimeringen blev 3,6 procent realt, vilket är lägre än samtliga buffertfonders nuvarande avkastningsmål. Känslighetsanalysen visade att pensionssystemet mest sannolikt ser starkt ut framöver. Pensionssystemet är framförallt känsligt för demografiska förändringar, medan förutsättningarna på de finansiellamarknaderna får mindre påverkan för systemets långsiktiga stabilitet. / The aim of this thesis was to determine the target return that the buffer funds should have to generate maximum possible benefit for the Swedish pension system and to analyse the strength and sensitivity of the system. An Asset Liability Management analysis, with optimization of risk and return with respect to the pension system’s liabilities and equality between generations, was performed. A key ratio was defined to illustrate the generation-neutrality in the pensions system. The key ratio shows how much pension one generation will receive compared to how much they have paid to the pension system and it is considered to be fair if the ratio is the same for every generation. A stochastic optimization model that minimized losses with respect to the key ratio was developed. The target real return that was determined in the optimization was 3.6 percent, which is lower than all the buffer funds’ current target returns. The sensitivity analysis showed that the pension system most plausible is strong in the future. The system is mainly sensitive for demographic changes while the condition of the financial market has less impact on the system’s long-term stability.
