For investors, gold and crypto can be potentially used as  inflation hedges, and the increasingly sophisticated nature of the  products is creating interesting new opportunities for risk management  and investment.

Deborah Fuhr and Dan Barnes discuss the 21 new listings over the past week, and the themes we are seeing play out.

Options on fixed income exchange traded funds have launched on the  Eurex Exchange, to meet the demands of end investors. For firms who have  used these instruments under the 40 Act  regime in the US, these  provide a UCITS equivalent in Europe and they may lead to take up at  first.

In some cases these options might be an alternative to using credit  default swap index options for hedging or volatility strategies, in  others a way to reduce pressure on capital reserves under Solvency II  regulations by buying out-of-the-money puts, or for pension funds  selling out of the money calls to generate yield enhancement.

Lee Bartholomew, global head of derivatives product R&D for fixed  income and currencies at Eurex, and Ashley Curtis, head of FI  distribution for iShares EMEA at BlackRock outline the opportunities  these new instruments are creating for investors

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the  derivatives risk management rule which is designed to provide a  comprehensive approach to the regulation of funds’ use of derivatives    The new rule 18f-4, permits mutual funds (other than money market  funds), exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), registered closed-end funds, and  business development companies (collectively, “funds”) to enter into  derivatives transactions.  The SEC amended rule 6c-11 “the ETF rule”  to  allow leveraged or inverse ETFs to operate without obtaining an  exemptive order.

Kevin Gustafson, general counsel and CCO and Graham Day, head of  product & strategy at Innovator ETFs discuss the background to the  rule, what the rule means and how it will impact ETF issuers and  investors.
