Here’s a 400-word summary of the Wealthmanagement article, followed by the German translation:
**Summary (English)**
Mutual funds are experiencing significant outflows as exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continue to attract massive inflows. Currently, over 30 mutual funds are being converted into ETFs, marking the highest level of conversions since 2021, excluding a single large conversion by a firm last year. This trend is occurring alongside anticipation of a regulatory change that would allow firms to offer both mutual fund and ETF share classes within the same fund, potentially reducing the pressure to exclusively choose one structure.
The asset management industry is witnessing a clear shift in investor preference. ETFs are attracting a record $1.1 trillion in inflows this year, while mutual funds are losing a net $451 billion in 2024 and $432 billion so far in 2025. This divergence is fueled by ETFs’ advantages, primarily superior tax efficiency and liquidity.
The key driver of the conversion trend is the impending regulatory approval of a “multi-share class” structure. This change, made possible after Vanguard Group's patent expired, would enable firms to offer both mutual fund and ETF share classes within the same fund. This would allow investors to choose the wrapper that best suits their needs, rather than being forced to commit to one format.
Despite this regulatory anticipation, asset managers are proactively moving funds into ETF structures. Over 60 firms, including BlackRock and State Street, are waiting for the regulator's approval. This reflects a broader industry trend: Wall Street increasingly favors packaging diverse investment strategies within ETFs, as mutual funds have faced consistent net outflows for the past three years.
The current pace of conversions suggests investors are recognizing the benefits of ETFs and actively seeking them out. The regulatory approval, when it comes, is expected to further accelerate this movement, potentially reshaping the landscape of investment vehicles.
**Translation (German)**
**Mutualfonds verlieren weiter Vermögen, während ETFs Rekordgewinne erzielen**
(Bloomberg) – Mutualfonds erleiden weiterhin massive Verluste, während ihre ETF-Pendants neue Rekordgewinne verzeichnen. Aktuell werden über 30 Mutualfonds in ETFs umgewandelt, was dem Niveau von 2021 entspricht – mit Ausnahme einer großen Konvertierung einer einzigen Firma im letzten Jahr. Dieser Trend findet im Vorfeld der bevorstehenden regulatorischen Änderung statt, die es Firmen ermöglichen würde, sowohl Mutualfonds als auch ETFs innerhalb derselben Struktur anzubieten.
Die Vermögensverwaltungsbranche erlebt eine deutliche Verlagerung der Präferenzen der Anleger. ETFs ziehen Rekorderlöse von 1,1 Billionen Dollar ein, während Mutualfonds im Jahr 2024 451 Milliarden Dollar und bisher im Jahr 2025 432 Milliarden Dollar verzeichnen. Diese Diskrepanz wird durch die Vorteile von ETFs, insbesondere deren überlegene Steuerfreundlichkeit und Liquidität, getrieben.
Der Haupttreiber der Konvertierungstätigkeit ist die bevorstehende regulatorische Genehmigung einer „Multi-Share-Klasse“-Struktur. Diese Änderung, die nach dem Ablauf des Patents von Vanguard Group möglich wurde, würde es Firmen ermöglichen, sowohl Mutualfonds als auch ETFs innerhalb derselben Struktur anzubieten. Dies würde es Investoren ermöglichen, den für sie am besten geeigneten Wrapper zu wählen, anstatt gezwungen zu werden, sich für ein Format zu entscheiden.
Trotz dieser regulatorischen Erwartungen gehen Vermögensverwalter proaktiv dabei, Fonds in ETF-Strukturen zu verlagern. Über 60 Firmen, darunter BlackRock und State Street, warten auf die Genehmigung der Aufsichtsbehörde. Dies spiegelt einen breiteren Branchentrend wider: Wall Street bevorzugt zunehmend, diverse Anlagestrategien in ETFs zu verpacken, da Mutualfonds in den letzten drei Jahren konsequent Nettoausflüsse erlebt haben. |

Nordsee-Gigant sieht in Übersee als Steuer-Hits 111pc |

Hafen Energie ist es, seine Nordsee-Investitionen - Andrew Milligan/PA Wire
Der größte Öl- und Gasproduzent Großbritanniens drängt Investitionen in Großbritannien und lenkt Bargeld in Länder wie Norwegen ab, nachdem die Labour-Steuern es mit einem 111pc-Steuersatz verließen.
Harbour Energy plant, seine Nordsee-Investitionen zu verschärfen und hat bereits 250 Arbeitsplatzverluste in Aberdeen angekündigt, einer Stadt, die einmal als Öl- und Gashauptstadt Europas angesehen wird. Am Donnerstag sagte ein Sprecher, dass das Unternehmen in Erwägung ziehen würde, Arbeitsplätze in seinen Übersee-Operationen für geeignete Arbeitnehmer anzubieten, aber die meisten der Aberdeen-Mitarbeiter, die für Redundanz gekennzeichnet sind, würden das Unternehmen verlassen.
Es kam als Hafen Bericht Halbjahresergebnisse, die deutlich gemacht, die Auswirkungen der Energie-Gewinn-Umlage, oder Windfall-Steuer, die ursprünglich von den Konservativen verhängt und unter Labour erhöht.
Hafen machte einen Gewinn vor Steuern von $1.6bn (£1.2bn) aber konfrontiert eine Steuerrechnung von $1.8bn, was zu einem Post-Steuerverlust von $174m. Dies war weitgehend auf die britischen Windfallabschöpfungen und Devisentransaktionen zurückzuführen.
Der Bericht sagte: „Der effektive Steuersatz für die sechs am 30. Juni 2025 endenden Monate betrug 111pc, verglichen mit 85pc für den gleichen Zeitraum im Jahr 2024. „
Das Unternehmen sagte, die Erhöhung sei „vor allem“ bis zu einer latenten Steuergebühr, die sich aus der Entscheidung der Labour-Arbeit zur Verlängerung der Steuersätze auf 2030 ergibt.
Linda Cook, CEO von Harbour, sagte: „[Das Vereinigte Königreich] bleibt für uns ein herausforderndes Umfeld... Das Steuerregime bedeutet Investitionen hier findet sich nur schwer, mit den Möglichkeiten zu konkurrieren, die wir in anderen Ländern haben.
„Vorwärts gehend erwarten wir, dass Investitionen im Vereinigten Königreich aufgrund der steuerlichen und regulatorischen Bedingungen sinken. Wir werden noch einige hohe Renditemöglichkeiten haben, aber die Gesamtinvestitionen dürften sinken und werden durch Investitionen in Norwegen, Argentinien und im Laufe der Zeit Mexiko ersetzt werden.
„Das Vereinigte Königreich ist eines unserer höchsten Länder für einheitliche Betriebskosten ... und es ist auch eines unserer höchsten Steuerumgebungen. Damit die [UK] Produktion im Laufe der Zeit durch die Produktion aus anderen Ländern ersetzt wird, und das ist für uns insgesamt gut. „
Letzte Woche sagte Donald Trump, dass Großbritannien eine „Schmutztruhe“ von Öl und Gas verschwendet. Er schrieb auf seiner "Wahrhaftigkeitsgesellschaft": „Die Steuern sind jedoch so hoch, dass es keinen Sinn macht. Sie haben im Wesentlichen den Bohrern und Ölfirmen gesagt: „Wir wollen Sie nicht.“
Der US-Präsident sagte, die Wiedereröffnung der Nordsee könnte ein „wüstes Vermögen“ für Großbritannien und „weit geringere Energiekosten für die Menschen!“
Hafen war in erster Linie englisch-fokussierter Öl- und Gasproduzent, hat aber seinen Fokus verschoben, da sukzessive Regierungen immer höhere Windfallsteuern und klimabedingte Bohreinschränkungen verhängten.
Geschichte geht weiter
Im vergangenen Jahr erwarb das Unternehmen die vorgelagerten Betriebe der Wintershall Dea in Norwegen, Argentinien, Deutschland und Mexiko.
Der Umzug verdreifachte die Leistung auf 475.000 Barrel Öl pro Tag im Vergleich zu den 159,000 in der ersten Hälfte von 2024, mit Reserven verdreifacht auch auf geschätzt 1,3 Milliarden Barrel.
Das Unternehmen betreibt noch mehrere Öl- und Gasproduktionszentren in britischen Gewässern. Die Investitionen konzentrieren sich auf zwei von ihnen, J-Area und Greater Britannia Bereich, in der zentralen Nordsee.
Ashley Kelty, ein Analyst an der Panmure Liberum Investmentbank, sagte jedoch, Hafen hatte seinen Fokus ständig von Großbritannien auf andere Teile der Welt verschoben.
Der Hafen veröffentlichte auch eine „bereinigte Gewinne“-Zahl, die die Auswirkungen von Windfallsteuern reduzierte, die zugrunde liegenden Gewinne von $410m zeigt, und kündigte ein $100m Aktienrückkaufprogramm neben einer $455m Dividende für Aktionäre an.
Dan Slater, Analyst bei Zeus Capital, sagte, Hafen hatte trotz der Steuertreffer eine starke zugrunde liegende Leistung gezeigt.

City’s ethical investing obsession branded ‘a huge mistake’ |
|
|
**Haftungsausschluss: Der Text wurde mit Hilfe einer KI zusammengefasst und übersetzt. Für Aussagen aus dem Originaltext wird keine Haftung übernommen!**
Douglas Flint claims ethical investing ‘became a marketing thing’ - Paul Yeung/Bloomberg
The City’s obsession with ethical investing was a “huge mistake”, the chairman of investment giant Aberdeen has said.
Sir Douglas Flint told a conference earlier this week that fund managers had made “ridiculously extravagant claims” about “saving the world” instead of focusing on profits.
He said: “Our industry then made a kind of huge mistake, it became a marketing thing, let’s tell everyone we’re saving the world, we’re saving the planet.”
In some cases, he said some investors adopted a mindset of “we’re not really about investing money, we’re just jolly good people and we’re saving the world”.
Not only did this distract from their main role as investors, it also opened up funds to the threat of legal claims, he said.
Sir Douglas, who was formerly chairman of HSBC, said statements around ESG and diversity were now “in every search engine for a US litigation lawyer”, creating a potential “feast” for lawsuits.
His comments form part of a broader corporate roll-back on ESG, exacerbated by Donald Trump’s diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) crackdown in the US.
This has led to many high-profile companies – including McDonald’s and Harley-Davidson – watering down their diversity programmes, while others have rolled back net zero initiatives.
This has also applied to the fund managers.
The Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative, a coalition of investment firms that had pledged to support the transition away from fossil fuels, paused its activities in January before Mr Trump took office.
The retreat from ethical investment has coincided with a surge in people pulling cash from ESG funds.
According to data from Morningstar, investors withdrew a record $8.6bn (£6.2bn) from sustainable funds in the first quarter of 2025.
Sir Douglas said fund managers were now treating environmental issues in a “much more rational way”.
He said: “We try and choose the companies that are making the most effective steps towards transition in the portfolios that we manage.
“But it’s our clients who mandate the areas and the pace that we go at.”
However, the backlash against ESG investing has not been ubiquitous in the City.
Speaking at a London Climate Action Week event last week, Bill Winters, the chief executive of Standard Chartered, said he was ashamed to have been “nowhere near as vocal in this environment as I had been at earlier times”.

**Haftungsausschluss: Der Text wurde mit Hilfe einer KI zusammengefasst und übersetzt. Für Aussagen aus dem Originaltext wird keine Haftung übernommen!**
**Einführung in Adura**
Das Joint Venture von Adura, ein britischer Öl- und Gasproduzent, soll das größte in der britischen Nordsee werden. Die Unternehmen Shell und Equinor haben im Dezember dieses Joint Venture gegründet, um die Produktion zu erhöhen und die Öl- und Gasreserven des Vereinigten Königreichs zu kapitalisieren.
**Key Eigenschaften von Adura**
**Production Expectations*: Adura soll die Produktion von rund 140.000 Fässern Öläquivalent pro Tag (beide) in den nächsten fünf Jahren auf über 200.000 Flöte erhöhen.
* * **Tax Savings*: Equinor bringt Steuerersparnis an Adura, während Shells größere Öl- und Gasproduktion dem Unternehmen einen höheren Cashflow bieten wird, da es neue Felder entwickelt.
* **Rosebank Oil Project*: Adura konzentriert sich auf die Entwicklung des Ölprojekts Rosebank, eine bedeutende Entwicklung in der britischen Nordsee.
**Background und Partnerschaften* *
* **Equinor**: Equinor ist ein norwegisches Öl- und Gasunternehmen mit einer bedeutenden Präsenz in der britischen Nordsee.
**Shell**: Shell ist ein multinationales Öl- und Gasunternehmen mit einem großen Portfolio an Vermögenswerten in der britischen Nordsee.

**Regulatorische Genehmigung**
**Pending Regulatory Approvals**: Aduras Markteinführung ist anhängig von regulatorischen Genehmigungen, die bis Ende dieses Jahres abgeschlossen werden sollen.
**Ausschluss* *
Das von Shell und Equinor gebildete Joint Venture von Adura hat das Potenzial, zum größten Öl- und Gasproduzenten in der britischen Nordsee zu werden. Mit erwarteten Produktionssteigerungen und steuerlichen Einsparungen wird Adura auf die Öl- und Gasreserven des Vereinigten Königreichs angewiesen und zu einem bedeutenden Player in der Branche.
** Code Snippet**
```python
# Variablen definieren
production_increase = 100000 # Fässer Öläquivalent pro Tag
tax_savings = 50000 # Dollar
cash_flow_increase = 100000 # Dollar
# Berechnung der erwarteten Produktion
Erwartung_Produktion = production_increase + tax_savings + cash_flow_increase
Print(expected_production)
`` `
**Anmerkung**
Der obenstehende Codeschnipsel ist ein einfaches Beispiel, um die Berechnung der erwarteten Produktion zu demonstrieren. In einem realen Szenario würde die Berechnung komplexere Variablen und Annahmen beinhalten. |

The Weekend: When Europe's do-or-die moment sent defence stocks soaring |
|
|
**Haftungsausschluss: Der Text wurde mit Hilfe einer KI zusammengefasst und übersetzt. Für Aussagen aus dem Originaltext wird keine Haftung übernommen!**
Europe is scrambling to boost its military firepower as any realistic hopes of being able to rely on the US to protect Ukraine from Russia fade.
Donald Trump's now-infamous exchange with Volodymyr Zelensky was followed by a withdrawal of US military aid for Ukraine and a growing sense of panic among European leaders. Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, swiftly unveiled the ReArm Europe plan, declaring that it could "mobilise close to €800bn (£667bn)" to protect the continent.
Investors were quick to capitalise on what promises to be a huge wave of demand for everything from tanks and ammunition to fighter jets.
Here are some highlights from the last seven days, plus a glimpse at the week ahead.
Key moments from last week
The highly-rated defence stocks investors are buying up
The ramping up of military spending across Europe in the face of the threat from Russia has sent defence stocks surging. It followed a pledge from UK prime minister Keir Starmer to increase defence spending to 3% by the start of the next parliament.
British stalwarts Rolls-Royce (RR.L) and BAE Systems (BA.L) were among the big winners last week.
Trump pledges more support for crypto world
Donald Trump told a gathering of cryptocurrency bigwigs that he is making good on his pledges to them and would continue to give the industry what it wants.
"I promised to make America the bitcoin superpower of the world and the crypto capital of the planet and we're taking historic action to deliver on that promise," he said at the end of a "crypto summit" at the White House.US president Donald Trump receives applause from guests at a the White House Crypto Summit on March 7.

The meeting came after the president on Thursday fulfilled one of his campaign promises by authorising the creation of a strategic US bitcoin reserve — and a separate stockpile of other digital assets.
Bank of England expects UK inflation rise amid 'even greater uncertainty'
The Bank of England (BoE) expects a rise in UK inflation this year, although it will be "nothing like a few years ago".
This was according to BoE governor Andrew Bailey, who appeared before the Treasury committee on Wednesday along with other policymakers.
He said Britain was entering a world of “even greater uncertainty," which had “widened” since the last meeting in February, when the monetary policy committee (MPC) voted to cut interest rates to 4.5%.
Why Abrdn reinstated the Es after rebrand
The vowels are back. British asset management firm Abrdn (ABDN.L) announced this week that it is reinstating the Es in its name four years after it removed them in a rebranding exercise dubbed an “act of corporate insanity”.
Story Continues
It is the latest in a series of well-known companies that changed their historic names only to U-turn and reinstate the original name following outrage and derision from customers and the media.

Finally, here’s how the week ahead looks
Chip stocks remain firmly in the market spotlight, with TSMC (2330.TW, TSM) due to release its February sales figures on Monday.
Larry Ellison's cloud software company Oracle (ORCL) will also be reporting on Monday, with investors keeping an eye out for commentary on its role in the US Stargate AI infrastructure project.
In the autos sector, Volkswagen (VOW3.DE) is due to release full-year results, on the back of a rollercoaster week of trade tariff news for carmakers.
Read more: Stocks to watch next week
At the end of a quiet week, Friday will bring a slew of major UK economic data, including GDP growth, industrial production and construction output.
Before that, on Wednesday, attention will be on the US, where inflation figures will provide clues as to the Fed's interest rate path. That's followed on Thursday by factory gate prices and jobless claims.
End note:
This week saw the much-anticipated announcement of the summer's Glastonbury lineup. Neil Young, Olivia Rodrigo and The 1975 will headline music's greatest annual event, while Rod Stewart will play the Sunday legend slot.
It had briefly looked as if Young's appearance at Worthy Farm was in doubt when the folk rock star said in January he would boycott the festival based on aspects of the BBC's coverage. Fortunately for fans, he quickly reversed this decision, citing false information.
Here is Young at his very best, with a classic from his critically-acclaimed 1972 album, Harvest.
