Credit Suisse Provide Q4 Market Commentary on European ETFs

Credit Suisse Provide Q4 Market Commentary on European ETFs












London, England (PRWEB UK) 24 February 2012

Credit Suisse ETFs Sales Strategist Ursula Marchioni reviews the ETF industry trends in her quarterly market commentary. Key findings of the quarter are:

Political uncertainty in Europe

Political uncertainty and the lack of a comprehensive solution to the euro sovereign debt crisis continued to impact European ETFs in Q4. After a flat October, outflows accelerated in November and December. In contrast, the US ETF market – facing similar underlying macroeconomic issues to Europe – did not experience the same crisis of confidence. Most likely due to its more mature and less fragmented status, the US ETF market, recorded a very different year to Europe, with inflows of USD 115.76 bn and only one negative month (May). The US ETF result reinforces our opinion that ETF growth will continue globally, and will gain strength in Europe when the underlying market uncertainty and regulatory scrutiny experienced here subsides.

Regulatory scrutiny intensifies

The increased regulatory scrutiny of synthetic ETFs highlighted in our Q3 market commentary continued to contribute to the outflows from these funds seen in last quarter. Since the publication of a European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) discussion paper in July addressing the risks of synthetic funds, a big divide has opened, with positive results for physically replicated funds and outflows mostly concentrated in synthetically replicated funds. Investors appear to prefer cash-based ETFs, placing USD 21.50 bn into physically replicated ETFs, in contrast to redemptions of USD 3.27 bn from synthetically replicated ones.

ETFs remain relatively attractive

Despite the negative flows in Q4, the European ETF market remains attractive to investors − illustrated by the USD 18.23 bn total inflows for the year − and particularly when compared to the much larger European UCITS fund industry. In contrast to the inflows recorded in European ETFs in 2011, by the end of November UCITS funds had recorded an outflow of EUR 84.5 bn. The disparity between the performance of the two investment vehicles is even more marked due to the fact that nearly 90% of European ETFs’ AUM is constituted in UCITS funds .

Credit Suisse expects 2012 to be a positive year for the European ETF industry

Some headwinds remain with respect to the health of the global economy and while a solution to the Eurozone crisis remains elusive, macro tools such as ETFs should continue to hold their position as a wrapper of choice for a variety of risk/return profiles. On January 30th, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) clarified its position on ETFs, and this should allay some of the investor concern over regulatory risks that was prevalent in the market in 2011. Ultimately, we expect to see a return to the fundamentals of indexing, with both the industry and regulators taking further action in clarifying the risks of different types of exchange traded instruments.

Mind Movies LLC Unwraps a Free Gift for their Fans this Holiday Season











San Diego, CA (PRWEB) December 25, 2011

Mind Movies is a San Diego-based personal development company which prides itself on being a “One-stop Law of Attraction Solution.” Their software “enhances visualization efforts” which they believe empowers people to reach their dreams through philosophies that are in alignment with the DVD and book “The Secret.”

To help people jump-start the holiday season and new year, the company has created 3 brand new pre-made videos which they call “Mind Movies.”

The company also offers a complete software system which fans can use to create personalized Mind Movies, but they also occasionally put together free “pre-made” alternatives that anyone can download and use.

According to the Mind Movies website, the key ingredient to a successful Mind Movie is the inclusion of several multimedia features which target multiple senses so that the resulting video has a greater impact than each of the individual parts.

“These particular Mind Movies have taken us weeks to put together, and we’ve just gotten amazing feedback from viewers so far,” said Ryan Higgins the co-founder of Mind Movies.  

By using a combination of inspiring images, meaningful affirmations, and stimulating music, each video was intentionally crafted to evoke feelings of accomplishment, inspired action, and boundless energy levels within the watcher.

Their mission is to help people happily and healthfully achieve all their goals through emotionally inspiring videos. If you’ve seen “The Secret,” you know that the mind is a powerful tool that can be used to positively impact your life and ultimately manifest everything you desire and deserve.

The three new pre-made Mind Movies are titled “Increase Motivation,” “Eliminate Procrastination” and “Increased Energy.” The instructions say to watch each 2-minute movie twice a day, morning and night, in order to get the best results.

When watching the videos, a soundtrack plays, while phrases like “I am energetic and alive at all times” flashes across the screen, along with images such as a vibrant salsa dancer.

The combinations of phrases, imagery, and music are supposed to change the actual thought patterns of the viewer’s subconscious mind. The goal of each Mind Movies is to allow the inner workings of the viewer’s brain to become more aligned with their outward goals.

In response to viewing “Increased Energy” for the first time, Mind Movies team member Kat Tanguay said, “I was reaching for my second cup of coffee for the day, but after watching the video I felt more awake and alive then I have in days. Forget coffee!”

 

For a limited time, the 3 pre-made Mind Movies are available to download for free. Mind Movies claims these are a perfect gift with a lasting impact for viewers or their loved ones.

Sleep Aid, Fat Burner LipoRid PM? Celebrates 10,000th Customer

Sleep Aid, Fat Burner LipoRid PM™ Celebrates 10,000th Customer











LipoRid PM™ sleep aid pills burn fat while helping users fall asleep fast and sleep through the night.


(PRWEB) December 12, 2011

LipoRidPM.com was launched in 2006 as it introduced the world’s first all-natural sleep aid, fat burner, LipoRid PM™, to the health supplement market. LipoRid PM™ is formulated with a blend of 14 scientifically proven ingredients that induce a full night’s rest while encouraging fat burning activity.

“I had to give up prescription sleeping pills because of horrible headaches that left me feeling almost wasted in the morning. After trying LipoRid PM™, I slept better than I ever did on the sleeping pills and experienced no headaches at all. Now I feel great every day and problems with fatigue and depression are distant memories. It’s such a relief to be able to use something you never have worry about!”

– V. Wood

The need for an all-natural yet highly effective alternative to prescription sleep aids became evident to LipoRidPM.com CEO Leon Jeffries after more and more news stories began reporting on the behavioral and physical side-effects of these chemical-filled products. It is evident that the body needs 6-8 hours of sleep per night, but the dangerous side-effects of prescription sleep aids are hardly worth the risk. Some reported side-effects of the popular prescription Ambien include diarrhea, daytime drowsiness, headache, nausea and weakness, not to mention sleep walking and hallucinations.

6-8 hours of sleep per night can:


improve mood and memory,
prevent heart disease and stroke,
boost the immune system,
leave the body feeling refreshed and alert in the morning,
increase productivity,
lower blood pressure,
promote weight loss and more.

As an increasing number of Americans turn to sleep aid pills (according to the National Sleep Foundation, nearly 3 in 10 women say they take sleep pills at least 3 nights a week), it is important to recognize that prescription sleeping pills are not the only alternative. LipoRid PM™ does not trigger any unwanted side-effects but is equally as effective as prescription products and is non-habit forming.

Please visit LipoRidPM.com for studies, testimonials and product ordering information.

Editor’s Notes: LipoRidPM.com is the leading provider of all-natural sleep aid diet pills. LipoRidPM.com was launched in 2006 and is the first company to introduce a sleep aid, fat burner into the United States.

Alternative Link to Present at Consumer-Driven Pharmacy Benefits Conference

Posted by on July 31, 2011 1 comment

Alternative Link to Present at Consumer-Driven Pharmacy Benefits Conference










(PRWEB) March 16, 2004

Albuquerque, NM, March 15, 2004 – Alternative Link announced today that Rick Enright, Director, and Dr. Jeffrey S. Sollins, Founder of Bridges in Medicine, will speak at the Consumer-Driven Pharmacy Benefits Conference in Philadelphia on March 25th. Their subject will be the use of herbal and over-the-counter (OTC) medications, supported by ABC codes, in consumer choice pharmacy models.

The presentation will be given at the Loews Philadelphia Hotel beginning at 5 p.m. The two-day conference, sponsored by Global Business Research, will bring together many of the nation’s leading experts on consumer-directed health strategies and pharmacy benefit management.

“As the movement toward consumer-driven health programs gains momentum, the demand for broader choices in medications will continue to escalate,” says Enright. “Developing consumer-driven pharmacy models that support the use of herbals and OTC medications will give health plans and employers a head start on meeting this predictable demand.”

In their presentation, Enright and Dr. Sollins will discuss the rationale for integrative healthcare and compare the costs and effectiveness of prescription and non-prescription options. They will also draw upon case studies from Dr. Sollins’ program offered through Lovelace Sandia Health System’s senior plan which grew from several MedicarePlus Choice plans in New Mexico.

Alternative Link developed the only comprehensive code set for integrative healthcare. The codes reflect chiropractic, massage and acupuncture practices, as well as care delivered by nurses, holistic physicians and others. Alternative Link has been influential in promoting the use of ABC codes in healthcare research, management and commerce. In addition to supporting insurance billing, the codes improve tracking, analysis and reporting of care, so the best practices of conventional, complementary and alternative care can be made available to consumers.

A copy of the presentation will be available on Alternative Link’s web site at http://www.alternativelink.com immediately following the conference.

About Alternative Link

Alternative Link, the developer of ABC codes, delivers information products and consulting services that help health-promoting organizations and individuals finance, administer and deliver cost-effective care that improves individual and public health, business and industry efficiencies and socioeconomic development.

Popular Free Natural Health e-Letter Doubles its Circulation

Posted by on July 31, 2011 1 comment

Popular Free Natural Health e-Letter Doubles its Circulation











Dr. Victor Marchione


Boston, MA (Vocus/PRWEB) March 23, 2011

Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin, a popular free e-letter that publishes alternative and natural health news, breakthroughs and advice seven days a week, has announced that its circulation has doubled so in the last five months.

This incredible growth can be directly attributed to the increased demand for natural health information from the populous baby boomer generation. Not satisfied with traditional medical advice and continually wary of the potential dangers of prescription drugs, the boomer generation’s hunger for natural health advice is driving the growth of Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin.

The sudden growth of Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin can also be attributed to its newest report, 12 Top Brain-Boosting Foods, which was released late in 2010 as a free downloadable report. The report publishes the latest research from the Doctors Health Press Editorial Board that reveals the best 12 foods to eat to help in the maintenance of healthy brain function and memory, a concern shared by most of the boomer generation.

First published in 2004, Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin is e-mailed to subscribers every day and includes timely natural health news coupled with expert alternative health research and advice.

Headed by the Chairman of the Doctors Health Press Editorial Board, Victor Marchione, MD, the free e-letter covers topics that include the latest breakthroughs in herbal remedies, new healing discoveries that could replace current prescription drugs, how to deal with common ailments quickly, safely and naturally, and common health “mistakes” that you need to avoid.

Plus, Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin stays on top of current health news. An example of this is when the H1N1 outbreak happened. Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin provided constant updates and analysis of the outbreak, including a unique look at the “natural angle” to dealing with the outbreak.

Looking forward, Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin looks to double its subscription base again before the end of 2011. For more information on Doctors Health Press, please visit http://www.doctorshealthpress.com.
