BETTER FINANCE: European Robo Advice Market Fails To Take Off, Despite Showing Promise For Individual Investors

Date 25/01/2021

BETTER FINANCE publishes the fifth annual edition of its research into Robo Advisors following mystery-shopping covering 13 Europe-based platforms and 4 non-European ones. The Robo Advice sector continues to grow and is well-placed to provide a range of benefits for individual investors, such as considerably lower fees, better accessibility and availability, and more “independent” advice, compared to traditional advisors. Yet, the market has not grown as fast as expected, due to a generalised distrust in financial services and low financial literacy levels amongst individual investors, as well as a limited public awareness of the service.

U.S. Department Of The Treasury Fact Sheet: Treasury to Work to Ensure Families Get Access to Economic Impact Payments

Date 22/01/2021

In response to President Biden’s COVID-19 Economic Relief Executive Order launching an all-of-government effort to provide economic relief, the U.S. Department of the Treasury will work to stand up an effort to help households who have not yet been able to access their stimulus payments get much-needed relief. As many as 8 million households may be eligible for but have not yet received payments from the CARES Act signed in March; many of these households could be legally entitled to as much as $1,200 per adult. As the Treasury Department works to secure a full $2,000 in direct payments for adults as part of the American Rescue Plan, it will take steps designed to reach as many of these missed households as possible – providing financial relief to a population that may be especially struggling during this crisis.

Statement On Federal Reserve Board’s Proposed Collection Of U.S. Treasury Transaction Data, SEC Commissioner Elad L. Roisman, Jan. 22, 2021

Date 22/01/2021

I commend the Federal Reserve Board on their proposal to collect data on daily transactions in U.S. Treasury securities from certain banking institutions through FINRA’s TRACE system.  Since July 2017, SEC-registered broker-dealers that are FINRA members have reported their Treasury transactions to TRACE.  The TRACE data is a key tool in facilitating assessments of market dynamics, effective market oversight, and improved market transparency.  As I have previously stated, given the importance of the Treasury market, it is vital that TRACE include a complete set of Treasury transaction information.  I look forward to continued collaborative efforts among regulators to pursue initiatives to enhance the Treasury market’s transparency, integrity, and resiliency.
