360 online magazine - Fall 2011

Welcome to the latest edition of 360, RBC Dexia’s online magazine. Here you will find extensive coverage of the latest issues and trends impacting asset managers and the financial sector.

This year the introduction of UCITS IV presented new opportunities and challenges. Key Investor Information (KII) obliges asset managers to produce large volumes of product information for their potential investors and has already proven to be a significant task. We outline the central requirements of KII and analyse how asset managers can ensure they comply.

Since the 2008 financial crisis the world has been edging towards recovery. Government policy continues to play a critical role so we feature how Ireland, Italy and Australia are positioning themselves as financial centres.

While conditions for many sectors remain challenging, commercial real estate has undergone a revival as public sector and other distressed assets come to market. However, insurers may be forced to rethink their real estate strategies in the light of Solvency II rules in 2013. We look at the potential impact.

We hope you enjoy this edition of 360 and look forward to your feedback and comment.
