Moat Investor Monthly Volatility Fuels Turnover in Moat Indices

October 2015

Moat Investor Monthly highlights key insights and performance trends impacting global moat investing. The moat philosophy uses Morningstar’s research to aim to identify companies with structural competitive advantages.

For the Month Ending September 30, 2015

Performance Overview

September was a difficult month for global equity markets and moats were not spared. Although the U.S.-oriented Morningstar® Wide Moat Focus IndexSM (MWMFTR) trailed the S&P 500® Index (-4.02% versus -2.47% ), the internationally focused Morningstar® Global ex-US Moat Focus IndexSM (MGEUMFUN) outperformed the MSCI All Country World Index ex USA (-2.88% vs. -4.67%). The main market downer was the U.S. Federal Reserve’s decision to leave interest rates unchanged at its September Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting.

Domestic Moats: Everyone Loves Chocolate

For U.S. moat-rated stocks, consumer discretionary and information technology firms were the top detractors from MWMFTR performance. In terms of individual constituents, asset manager Franklin Resources, Inc. (BEN US) was the worst performing constituent in MWMFTR for the month while chocolate producer Hershey Company (HSY US) led the positive performing constituents. Thirteen of 20 constituents were replaced in the Index on September 18, 2015, and this high turnover reflects the impact of increased market volatility throughout the third quarter.

International Moats: Takeover Pressure Boosts Veda

Financials weighed down MGEUMFUN in September, but strong relative performance from industrials, information technology, and consumer staples companies helped the Index outperform the broader international markets. In terms of individual companies, Australia’s Veda Group Limited (VED AU) soared on takeover pressure from Equifax, and Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. (POT CN) was the biggest detractor. As in the U.S., high turnover was also the result of MGEUMFUN’s September quarterly Index review. Roughly half of the 50-stock portfolio was replaced on September 18, 2015.

Crypto’s political tailwinds are blowing hard: Lessons from a week in Washington

Publicerad

den

Last week, I was in Washington, DC to attend the DC Blockchain Summit and to meet with regulators and policymakers to share our experiences as a crypto-focused asset manager over the last seven years.

Last week, I was in Washington, DC to attend the DC Blockchain Summit and to meet with regulators and policymakers to share our experiences as a crypto-focused asset manager over the last seven years.

The Summit, hosted by The Digital Chamber, included speeches from dozens of members of Congress, regulators, and industry leaders. After listening to presentations and speaking with a number of regulators and policymakers I have one key takeaway: Regulatory clarity for crypto will come much faster than I previously anticipated.

A dramatic shift in tone

As I wrote in January, US policymakers and government leaders—at nearly every level—are embracing this technology. For years, the lack of clear rules for digital assets in the US has been a major obstacle for institutional investors and financial firms looking to enter the crypto space. However, this past week in DC, as well as several of the conversations I’ve had with advisors and wealth managers over the last several weeks, has left me with an even higher sense of optimism.

One of the most striking takeaways from my meetings was the shift in how policymakers are discussing crypto. Just a year ago, many in Washington viewed digital assets primarily through the lens of risk—concerns over fraud, illicit finance, and speculative volatility dominated the conversation. While these concerns still exist, the discussions now are much more nuanced and focused on the opportunities that crypto can create to the American economy and how to address these risks through a clear regulatory framework.

Bipartisan support for legislation

Perhaps the most encouraging sign is the concrete progress being made on both legislative and regulatory fronts. Several key developments indicate that clearer guidelines for crypto businesses and investors could arrive sooner than expected. There is growing bipartisan momentum behind crypto-related legislation. The House Financial Services Committee and the Senate Banking Committee are moving forward with stablecoin legislation, and it is possible legislation could be signed into law as early as this summer. Stablecoins have also been a key focus of regulatory discussions, with growing consensus that they should be subject to clear guidelines similar to those governing payment systems and money market funds.

House and Senate committees are also actively discussing proposals that aim to define the jurisdiction of regulatory agencies, clarify the status of digital assets, and establish consumer protections. Unlike previous years, these efforts are being taken seriously by both parties, increasing the likelihood of meaningful legislative progress.

Adding to these regulatory discussions is the growing demand for crypto exposure from institutional investors. This demand is influencing policymakers and regulators, as they recognize that a lack of clarity is pushing innovation overseas.

What does this shift mean for investors?

The acceleration of regulatory clarity is a significant development for investors. While the approval of spot bitcoin ETFs last year was a watershed moment, it’s just the beginning. Several large financial institutions, including major banks and asset managers, are actively exploring tokenization, digital asset custody, and blockchain-based financial infrastructure. These institutions are engaging with regulators, advocating for a clear framework that allows them to enter the market with confidence.

Uncertainty has been one of the biggest barriers to broader crypto adoption by financial institutions and institutional investors in particular. As regulations become clearer this year, we expect to see:

• Increased institutional participation: With regulatory uncertainty diminishing, more traditional financial institutions will feel comfortable offering crypto products and using crypto technologies such as stablecoins to offer more efficient services, driving further mainstream adoption.

Growth in tokenization and blockchain use cases: Clearer regulations will pave the way for asset tokenization, improving efficiency in markets like real estate, bonds, and private equity.

• A stronger US crypto market: By establishing a clear regulatory framework, the US can assert itself as a global financial leader, which we believe will help spur more regulatory clarity in other jurisdictions.

Final thoughts

The message from Washington is clear: crypto regulation is coming, and it’s coming faster than many expected. While there are still hurdles to overcome, the shift from uncertainty to structured regulation is well underway. For investors, this marks an important transition. Clearer rules will reduce risks, enhance market stability, and unlock new opportunities for institutional and retail participants alike.

At Hashdex, we remain committed to navigating these changes and providing investors with access to the best opportunities in this evolving landscape. As we move forward, continued engagement with regulators, policymakers, and financial institutions will be key. The crypto industry has a critical role to play in shaping the future of regulation, and by working collaboratively, we can help ensure that the next phase of crypto’s growth is built on a foundation of clarity and trust.

SPUT ETC spårar priset på uran

Publicerad

Sprott Physical Uranium ETC (SPUT ETC), med ISIN XS2937253818, är utformad för att erbjuda investerare ett effektivt sätt att få tillgång till prisutvecklingen hos fysiskt uran.

Sprott Physical Uranium ETC (SPUT ETC), med ISIN XS2937253818, är utformad för att erbjuda investerare ett effektivt sätt att få tillgång till prisutvecklingen hos fysiskt uran.

För att uppnå detta innehar Sprott Physical Uranium ETC, som strävar efter att ge exponering mot priset för fysiskt uran, före avgifter och utgifter, genom att hålla fysiska lager hos tre olika leverantörer.

Den börshandlade produktens TER (total cost ratio) uppgår till 0,55 % p.a. Denna ETC replikerar resultatet av det underliggande indexet med en skuldförbindelse med säkerheter som backas upp av fysiska innehav av den underliggande metallen.

Sprott Physical Uranium ETC lanserades den 27 februari 2025 och har sin hemvist på Jersey.

Caset för en fysiskt uran ETC

Obalans mellan utbud och efterfrågan på uran kommer sannolikt att växa: Den växande efterfrågan på kärnenergi överträffar uranproduktionen, som hämmades av historiskt låga priser, och därmed begränsade nya projekt. Detta kan skapa en gynnsam miljö för stigande uranpriser.

Ny tjurmarknad för uran potentiellt under utveckling: Befintligt utbud kanske inte möter framtida efterfrågan, vilket uppmuntrar köpare av icke-nyttigt uran att komma in på marknaden. Verktygen förväntas påskynda inköpen av uran för att säkerställa långsiktig pris- och leveranssäkerhet.

Uran ger pålitlig och ren baslastkraft: Kärnenergi levererar konstant, ren elektricitet dygnet runt, vilket gör den till en kritisk kraftkälla när den globala energiförbrukningen fortsätter att växa.

Viktiga risker

Priset på uran kan vara volatilt och kan gå upp och ner. När du investerar i en ETC är ditt kapital helt i riskzonen. Investerare kanske inte får tillbaka det belopp de ursprungligen investerade. Uran- och kärnkraftsindustrin kan påverkas av förändringar i politiken/statliga regleringar, säkerhetsbrott, illvilliga terrordåd eller naturkatastrofer. Även om Sprott Physical Uranium Trust har för avsikt att följa det föreslagna investeringsmålet, garanterar emittenten inte fondens resultat.

Handla SPUT ETC

Sprott Physical Uranium ETC (SPUT ETC) är en europeisk börshandlad råvara. Denna ETP handlas på flera olika börser, till exempel Deutsche Boerse Xetra och London Stock Exchange.

Det betyder att det går att handla andelar i denna ETC genom de flesta svenska banker och Internetmäklare, till exempel  Nordnet, SAVR, DEGIRO och Avanza.

VanEck ETF utökar sitt kryptoerbjudande med Celestia ETN

Publicerad

den

Idag tillkännagav kapitalförvaltaren VanEck ETF noteringen av VanEck Celestia ETN på Euronext Amsterdam och Euronext Paris.

Idag tillkännagav kapitalförvaltaren VanEck ETF noteringen av VanEck Celestia ETN på Euronext Amsterdam och Euronext Paris.

  • Celestia möjliggör säker skalning av blockchain-applikationer
  • Modularitet tillåter utvecklare att bygga och skala nya blockkedjor med lätthet
  • VanEck Celestia ETN är tillgängligt i följande länder: Österrike, Schweiz, Tyskland, Danmark, Spanien, Finland, Frankrike, Italien, Liechtenstein, Luxemburg, Nederländerna, Norge, Polen, Portugal och Sverige

Detta börshandlade certifikat (ETN) gör det möjligt för investerare att delta i utförandet av TIA-tokenet i en investerarföredraget omslag. TIA-token är Celestia-nätverkets ursprungliga kryptovaluta.

Celestia är ett specialiserat blockchain-nätverk designat för att optimera och skala datatillgänglighet, branschens grundläggande skalningsflaskhals. Detta gör det möjligt för utvecklare att enkelt distribuera applikationer i sitt eget blockutrymme med hög genomströmning med full-stack-kontroll.

”Efterfrågan på TIA-token är ett direkt resultat av behovet av Celestias tjänster, eftersom alla interaktioner på Celestia är denominerade och betalda i TIA,” förklarade Menno Martens, Crypto Product Manager på VanEck Europe. ”När fler och fler utvecklare använder Celestias tjänster för att bygga fullstackapplikationer med hög genomströmning, ser vi tillväxtpotential för Celestia.”

VanEck Celestia ETN erbjuder investerare ett reglerat och börshandlat sätt att få exponering för denna innovativa blockchain. Investerare bör dock notera risken för extrem volatilitet i samband med digitala tillgångar.

”VanEcks ETN är ett av de första stegen mot utökad tillgång till Celestia av institutioner”, säger Mustafa Al-Bassam, medgrundare av Celestia och ordförande för Celestia Foundation. ”Snart kommer det att finnas fler sätt att gå med i Celestias ekosystem för alla typer av användare och deltagare.”

Denna ETN spårar MarketVector Celestia VWAP Close Index, som återspeglar priset på TIA-token. Den är helt säkerställd, vilket innebär att de underliggande tillgångarna faktiskt köps och förvaras säkert i kylförvaring. VanEck samarbetar med Bank Frick, ett reglerat förvaringsinstitut i Liechtenstein, för att säkerställa höga standarder för förvaring av kryptovaluta över sina ETNer.
