ABC arbitrage: Business performance at 31 May
2020
Given the exceptional circumstances related
to Coronavirus (Covid-19), the Combined General Meeting of June 12,
2020 will be a closed-door meeting. In order to maintain a
shareholder debate and the level of information available to its
shareholders, in accordance with the press release of June 8, 2020,
a streaming information meeting was held on June 9, 2020 at 11
am.On this occasion, Dominique CEOLIN, Chairman of the Board of
Directors of ABC arbitrage provided an update on the group’s
activity.As a reminder, the information presented in this press
release has been available since Tuesday 9 June 11:00 am on the
company's website.
Business PerformanceAt the end of May,
the pace of activity for the first five months of 2020 is close to
that of the whole 2015 financial year. This pace of activity once
again showed its strong correlation with volatility and volumes
traded on the markets. In the performance of its historical
business, the ABC arbitrage group provided in 2020 nearly 400
billion euros of liquidity to the markets, i.e. twice the 2019
level over the same period. ABC arbitrage was, as such, actively
involved in providing solutions to meet the needs of investors and
issuers on listed markets during this complex period.
OutlookWith the objective of transparency
during this health crisis and in accordance with the AMF’s requests
to enhance communication and visibility for shareholders of listed
groups, ABC arbitrage would exceptionally like to further develop
on certain comparatives.
If the months of June to December 2020 are to
have the same pace of activity as the same months in 2019, then the
ABC arbitrage Group would have a pace of activity close to that of
2011. Also, in relation to 2019 expenses, internal estimates show
an increase of ‘Other expenses’ of around 10% and potentially
a doubling of ‘Personnel, in particular expenses related to
performance based bonuses; the exact amount will of course depend
on the performance achieved over the whole 2020 financial year and
achievement of qualitative objectives specific to each of the
group’s employees.
The US index rally of the past few days has
caused a sharp drop in intraday volatility, returning to levels
close to its five-year historical average. The VIX index, which
reflects future volatility, remains at levels significantly above
its historical average, showing investors’ uncertainty for the
upcoming months. Given the extent of the health crisis, which
is still present worldwide, ABC arbitrage maintains its option of
prudence in the exercise of its businesses with the objective of
providing significant returns and capital protection for its
shareholders and clients.
