its fair to say                             that 2023 was a challenging      year for portfolio managers               around the globe           since the markets       were driven by a number of different           factors and unpredictable            incidents each of these could have caused         a major market       downturn on their own first of all there were a       lot of geopolitical                   tensions around the globe beside the still ongoing war 

STOP - !!!

Thank you.

Press Release

'It's a press release, boss!'

Yes, Voice. / Well, that's a relief, ain't it, kooks? For a moment there I had no idea what was going on.

'Let's do this!'

A new chapter begins for CCF (Crédit Commercial de France),

Oh, okay. It's all right for some.

'What? You can start a new chapter any time you like, boss.'

I'm not writing a novel, man. It's poems I need.

Anyway ...

January 1, 2024 marks an historic milestone for Crédit Commercial de France. Founded in 1917, CCF is now making its return to the French market.

Where has it been???

CCF remains true to its initial ambition by providing high-end personalized support to its clients. The cornerstone of its mission lies in prioritizing customer relationships, emphasizing the agility and simplicity of processes, and placing these principles at the core of its purpose and activities.

As the bank opens a new chapter, the same relationship managers continue to support customers in their financial and wealth projects.

But where has it been???

CCF Group demonstrates a robust -  

Yeah, yeah, okay. Let's see if we can get any sense out of Chad Leat ...

'Good luck with that.'

Chad Leat, Chairman of the Group CCF Board of Directors, declares:

'Oh, he declares! Bloody hell! "Well, I do declare." Ha, ha, ha!'

Shut up, Voice.

Ignore him, Chad.

"I am very proud to announce the completion of the acquisition of HSBC Continental Europe's retail banking activities and the reintroduction of the CCF brand, a storied French brand associated with quality, trust and success. The Group reaffirms its historical dedication to delivering exemplary retail banking and wealth management services. On behalf of the Board, I want to congratulate the entire CCF team, from branches to head offices, for the terrific work in the past two years to make this historic operation come true."

Ah, he's proud to announce. You see? It's the PR people who said he was declaring.

'Those ... never mind.'

Ha!

Nothing about where the bank has been though.

Here's Niccolo -

Niccolo Ubertalli, CEO of CCF Group, comments:

"We are ready to relaunch the prestigious CCF on the French market, capitalizing on an extremely solid financial foundation in terms of capital and liquidity. I warmly thank the Board for its support and trust throughout this monumental effort and the CCF Group team for its resilience and dedication. Let me welcome our customers and thank them for their trust: all our teams are fully mobilized to support them in the best conditions and to build with them their financial and patrimonial projects of tomorrow."

Okay.

For over a century, CCF has been at -

No, no. That's enough, PR people. Thank you.

Declares! Ha!

A new chapter?

Yeah, all right. I'm only writing about finance from now on. This is a finance blog.

'What about your conceptuals? Will they just be about finance?'

Don't be silly, Voice.

The conceptuals are something else. Personal, like. Just for me and selected kooks to spin with.

'Nice one.'

We like to get a-ROUND, don't we?

LSEG Lipper: AUM in European ETF industry reaches all-time-high of €1,563.5 bn in 2023

Er ...

Tue, 16 Jan at 11:43

Okay, er ...

For immediate release

Well, never mind.

'Worse things happen at sea, boss.'

Yes, Voice, that's what I was thinking.

Anyway ...

Assets under management in the European ETF industry increased over the course of 2023 and reached a new all-time-high at €1,563.5 bn.

ETF promoters in Europe enjoyed estimated net inflows (+€155.6 bn) for 2023.

Equity ETFs (+€92.7 bn) posted the highest estimated net inflows in the European ETF industry for 2023.

Naked golds thrashing crimson space.

The best-selling Lipper global classification for 2023 was Equity Global (+€34.5 bn), followed by Equity U.S. (+€30.1 bn) and Equity Emerging Markets Global (+€10.9 bn).

iShares was the best-selling ETF promoter in Europe for 2023 (+€67.1 bn), ahead of Xtrackers (+€22.5 bn) and Vanguard (+€18.5 bn).

The 10 best-selling ETFs gathered estimated net inflows of €148.7 bn over the course of 2023.

Fair enough.

And what does our Detlef say, eh?

Detlef Glow, Head of EMEA Research at LSEG Lipper, comments: "2023 was a challenging year for portfolio managers around the globe since the markets were driven by a number of different factors and unpredictable incidents. Each of these could have caused a major market downturn on their own. First of all, there were a lot of geopolitical tensions around the globe beside the war in Ukraine, which showed that democratic states might be more vulnerable than one may think. The concerns of European investors increased towards the end of 2023, since the actions taken by the Houthi rebels in the Red Sea have the power to disrupt the still vulnerable delivery chains in Europe and other parts of the world."

Yeah, thanks, Detlef. There's no democracy though. Just saying.

'Where's Lucky, boss?'

Don't ask.

Anything else?

I wonder how many poets there were in France in the 19th Century ... because most people - civilians, like - could probably only name Baudelaire and Rimbaud. I'm including amateurs who may have written poetry as a hobby. So, how many?

'Who knows?!'

We have to be aware of the passing time. We need to think in centuries, not weeks, or months, or years, or dec -

'Years is very ambitious for most people!'

Yeah, yeah.

I was walking back from Richmond this morning, and I enjoyed the moment for a moment, and -

'Which moment?'

The moment when I stared at that big house where that earl or duke or whatever he is lives.

'Is he thin, or grey?'

I don't know.

But I enjoyed that moment, deliberately. And then my mind shot forward ten years, for a bit of a giggle.

'You've been known to do a thousand.'

Yeah. But I wasn't in the mood for that today. You've got to be in a certain mood for real heavy time travel, you know?

'Yeah.'

Laters, Voice.

Young people need more character

What?! Who says?!

Young people need more 'character education' to succeed professionally, former Education Sec says.

No they don't! Leave those kids alone!

'They're just another brick in the wall, boss.'

Shut up, Voice! I'm handling this.

'Oh, all right.'

England's education and careers system should introduce more 'character' development opportunities - building self-belief, determination, and resilience - to prepare young people for the fast-changing economy, says Baroness Morgan, Chair of The Careers & Enterprise Company (CEC).

Right.

Maybe we should bring Jim Morrison in at this point ... ???

"You're all a bunch of -"

No, no. Thanks, Jim.

I mean, he's not very diplomatic, is he? A bit crude, like.

In a paper published by the Social Market Foundation - a cross-party think tank - Baroness Morgan, Chair of the CEC and former Education Secretary, calls for innovative practice in -

I'm not doing all this email.

'Just do the voices.'

Okay.

Baroness Morgan, Chair of the Careers & Enterprise Company and author of the briefing, says:

"Developing positive character traits is important for young people and employers. Who we are, how we interact with others, the qualities and values we display are fundamental to flourishing in the workplace of the next decade and beyond."

Oh, employers, workplace. I see.

"Performance in a role is only part of the picture. Individuals and organisations thrive when performance is moulded into a positive culture and behaviours founded on firm values that everyone contributes to and connects to communities and wider society."

Performance. Behaviour. No mention of freedom. No mention of individuality. No mention of revolution!

Anyway ...

"We therefore need to support those in the education and careers system in helping develop in their students the character traits and behaviours they will need to succeed in the jobs of tomorrow."

 Human robots!

"As we look to the future, we should pursue opportunities to fuse character and careers to build a rich and rounded education for young people."

And will Erich Fromm's The Fear of Freedom be taught in schools now? Of course not.

Anyway, here's Jamie -

Jamie Gollings, Deputy Research Director at Social Market Foundation, says:

"The last decade has seen a shift to a knowledge-rich curriculum in England, and promotion of more technical skills. The dawn of generative AI has made it clear just how different the workplace and society of the mid-century may be from that today - how this will impact on what knowledge, and which skills, will still be vital is hard to predict."

Ha, ha, ha! Real robots to put the human robots out of work!

That's it. I've had enough.
