            On 10 September 2019, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU’s securities regulator, published the second 
Trends, Risks and Vulnerabilities (TRV) report for 2019.  The report identified a deteriorating outlook for the asset management industry and continued very high market risk.  Recent trade tensions have triggered renewed volatility, and concerns over a no-deal Brexit remain key risk drivers for the second half of 2019.
