ANNEX 29


INTRODUCTION<br />

In accordance with Article 472 of the Market in Financial Instruments Act (hereinafter: the ZTFI), the Securities<br />

Market Agency reports annually to the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia on the state and situation<br />

on the market in financial instruments, by 30 June of each year for the past year. The second paragraph of Article<br />

472 of the ZTFI stipulates that the annual report on the situation on the market in financial instruments must<br />

include data on the public offerings of financial instruments, trading on stock exchange markets (stating the<br />

volume and structure of trading in financial instruments), the admission of financial instruments to stock exchange<br />

markets, and trading in financial instruments outside them.<br />

In 2010 the majority of major economies recorded a recovery of economic activity, which should reflect the end of<br />

the economic recession. The financial markets strengthened as well, however, experts from the field<br />

recommended caution, since the markets remained vulnerable, mostly due to high budgetary pressures. A high<br />

unemployment rate was still alarming.<br />

The recovery of financial markets was also supported by the government fiscal programmes aimed at stimulating<br />

economic activity and preventing a debt crisis of some highly indebted economies. As a result, liquidity in capital<br />

markets was high, but significant risks, which had contributed to the international financial crisis, were not<br />

eliminated.<br />

In 2010 the governments of developed countries and the EU introduced many new elements on the field of<br />

regulation and supervision of the financial system, which will have to demonstrate their effects by assuring<br />

stability of financial organisations and reduction of financial risks in the years to come. On one side liquidity and<br />

capital requirements for the banks were exacerbated, while on the other side a regulative environment, which<br />

should provide coordinated operations of supervisory bodies and macro-prudential supervision on the EU level,<br />

was established. On the international level a mutual programme was adopted within G20, to assure stable and<br />

robust financial sector in the following years.<br />

The recovery on the Slovenian financial market is much slower than on foreign markets. Liquidity was low and the<br />

credit activity of banks was also lower than expected. Unfortunately, it has to be established that the Slovenian<br />

government did not follow foreign governments and has not adopted any significant measures to contribute to<br />

higher credit activity of banks and better liquidity of the stock exchange.<br />

This is confirmed by all significant data on the market in financial instruments. The number of long-term financial<br />

instruments traded on Ljubljanska bor<strong>za</strong> <strong>vrednostnih</strong> <strong>papirjev</strong> (hereinafter: the Ljubljana Stock Exchange) fell by<br />

16 in 2010, to a total of 158 as at 31 December. At the end of 2010, there were 73 shares on the market (8<br />

shares listed on the stock exchange, 17 in standard listing and 48 in entry market); on the bond market, there<br />

were 79 bonds; on the investment coupon market, there were 4 investment coupons of mutual funds (hereinafter:<br />

MF); on the investment company share market, there were 2 shares of investment companies (hereinafter: IC).<br />

Trading in financial instruments on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange reached EUR 492.54 million in 2010, almost a<br />

half less than in the previous year. The volume of trading totalled EUR 360.79 million for shares in public<br />

companies, EUR 108.90 million for bonds, and EUR 22.85 million for shares in investment funds (hereinafter: IF).<br />

Contrary to stock exchange indices on foreign markets in financial instruments, the Slovenian blue-chip index SBI<br />

TOP was down by 13.47 % in nominal terms from a year earlier, equalling 850.35 points.<br />

Market capitalisation of financial instruments on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange amounted to EUR 20.22 billion at<br />

the end of 2010 (IFs not included), which is an increase of 4.9 % over December 2009. Total market capitalisation<br />

of all shares on the stock exchange (IFs not included) stood at EUR 7.03 billion at the end of December 2010,<br />

while market capitalisation of bonds reached EUR 13.19 billion. Due to lower turnover, the share turnover ratio<br />

decreased from 0.09 to 0.05, calculated as the ratio of annual volume to market capitalisation at the end of the<br />

period. The bond turnover ratio remained at 0.01 in 2010, while the turnover ratio for shares in IFs increased from<br />

0.07 to 0.09.<br />

[ 1 ]


In December 2010, the Ljubljana Stock Exchange started trading on the international trade system Xetra and has<br />

become a part of the international capital market. Xetra is the leading international trading platform used by more<br />

than 250 financial companies with more than 4,800 brokers. Investors can access Xetra directly from 18<br />

European countries and the Middle East countries. By introducing the trading system Xetra, the Ljubljana Stock<br />

Exchange has achieved one of the most significant strategic goals, the integration of the Slovenian market into<br />

international capital markets. Xetra will provide an easier access to the Slovenian market for foreign financial<br />

intermediaries. International promotion has been organized in foreign financial centres to arise higher interest of<br />

foreign investors in the Slovenian products.<br />

1. PRIMARY SECURITIES MARKET AND TAKEOVERS<br />

1.1. Primary market<br />

1.1.1. Public offerings of securities<br />

The interest for new securities slightly increased in 2010, as the number of issuers, who decided for public<br />

offering of securities was a bit higher than in 2009. Nevertheless, the number of issuers, who could assure higher<br />

turnover on the capital market, was still low. Such situation must be attributed above all to the financial crisis,<br />

which considerably shook the investors’ trust in securities as had been anticipated by the issuers, who did not<br />

even attempt to accomplish new offers. Furthermore, the economic policy has not truly supported the capital<br />

market. Six issuers (business entities) decided for a public offering of shares in 2010, so they had to prepare a<br />

prospectus to be approved by the ATVP. Five issuers published a prospectus and one issuer published a<br />

simplified prospectus. The issuers decided for placement of securities on the regulated market due to bigger<br />

transparency of company operations and better opportunities to obtain additional funds under favourable<br />

conditions.<br />

In case a new significant factor emerges between the approval of the prospectus and the closure of a public<br />

offering of securities or beginning of trading on the regular market, or if a major irregularity or incomplete<br />

information, which could affect the price of securities has been stated, the issuer, provider or investor of the<br />

request for placement of securities on the regulated market must update the prospectus with adequate or correct<br />

information in an appendix to the prospectus. The same procedure as for the approval of the prospectus applies<br />

for the appendix to be approved. One issuer had to update his prospectus with an appendix to the prospectus for<br />

public offering of shares (AGROGORICA, d. d., Šempeter pri Gorici); another issuer had to provide an appendix<br />

to his simplified prospectus for a public offering (NOVOLES, d. d., Straţa).<br />

A comparison with the past years (Table 1, Annex) demonstrates that the trends of issuing new securities and the<br />

extent of business entities financing on the capital market were not encouraging, neither in relation to the issue of<br />

shares, nor with regard to the issue of new debt securities.<br />

Only two issuers decided for public offering of debt securities in 2010, which is probably the result of high costs<br />

related to the issue of securities in general and unfavourable tax policy. The Republic of Slovenia was slightly<br />

more active with regard to borrowing on the capital market, as it held two public offerings of bonds and four<br />

auctions for three-month treasury bills, which is lower than in the past years. The Republic of Slovenia does not<br />

need the Agency's approval for public offering of securities.<br />

1.1.2. Exemptions from the obligation to publish a prospectus<br />

The ZTFI offers a broad definition of the offer of securities to the public, stipulating that it means any<br />

communication in any form and by any means, presenting sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the<br />

securities to be offered, so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe to these securities. This<br />

involves securities issues offered to a broad investment public and securities offered to a narrow or very specific<br />

group of investors.<br />

[ 4 ]


The ZTFI stipulates that no person is allowed to offer securities to the public in the Republic of Slovenia without<br />

first publishing the appropriate prospectus in line with this act. Pursuant to the Prospectus Directive, the ZTFI<br />

stipulates some exemptions for individual cases. Exemptions from the obligation to publish a prospectus are<br />

stipulated by Article 49 of the ZTFI (e.g., issue of securities in a closed circle of up to 100 persons who are not<br />

qualified investors etc.) and Article 50 of the ZTFI (e.g., issue of shares in the process of merger, issue of<br />

substitute securities in the takeover procedure etc.). When exemptions are applied, the issuer must also inform<br />

the Agency of the application of such exemption. In 2010, the Agency received 39 notifications on the application<br />

of the exemption from the publication of prospectus.<br />

In 2010, there were 32 issues of shares, of which 31 issues of corporate shares for a narrow or very specific<br />

group of investors, and one issue of shares by the bank. Shares were issued in the form of no-par value shares<br />

without nominal value. The most frequent reasons for share issue were the following: increases in share capital<br />

by a non-cash contribution, increases in share capital by the company’s own assets, debt-to-equity conversions<br />

as a result of company's financial problems, mergers, and investment in new development programmes.<br />

In 2010, there were also 7 placements of bonds to a narrow or very specific group of investors, of which five were<br />

bank-bond issues and 2 were corporate-bond issues. The total nominal value of the five private placements of<br />

bank bonds was EUR 110,000,000, while that of the two placements of corporate bonds was EUR 40,000,000.<br />

The most common reasons for bond issues included securing long-term sources of finance, replacing long-term<br />

sources of finance, and acquiring resources for the purposes of specific investment policy.<br />

The comparison with previous years (Table 3, Annex) shows that the corporate sector in 2010 issued a<br />

significantly higher number of securities for a specific group of investors than in previous years. On the contrary,<br />

the bank sector issued a lower number of securities for a specific group of investors than in previous years.<br />

1.2. Admission of securities to trading on a regulated market<br />

If there was no need to publish a prospectus upon the first sale of securities based on public offering, the issuer<br />

has to compile one and publish it upon the admission of the security to a regulated market, and obtain a decision<br />

from the Agency on the approval of the prospectus (or simplified prospectus).<br />

In 2010, the Agency approved nine prospectuses for the admission of securities to trading on the regulated<br />

market. These were securities, which the issuers in 2010 decided to list on the stock exchange.<br />

Both in terms of number and value, more securities were admitted to trading on the stock exchange in 2010 than<br />

in the previous year; the number was nevertheless lower than in the years before the financial crisis. The issuers<br />

are also more reluctant to decide to list issued securities because of the costs and additional reporting<br />

requirements.<br />

[ 5 ]


1.3. Takeovers<br />

The year 2010 continued the trend from 2009, and there were fewer takeovers due to unfavourable economic<br />

conditions and more stringent legislation in relation to takeover financing. The number of takeovers in 2010<br />

halved in comparison to the previous year and was the lowest in the past 10 years.<br />

In 2010, there were only six takeovers; all of which were successful. These takeovers were the consequence of<br />

acquiring companies engaged in a similar activity, which indicates that companies strived for better economy of<br />

scale and competitiveness on the market.<br />

1.4. Disclosure of information on the operations of public companies<br />

At the end of 2010, there were 83 companies that had the status of public companies that issued securities. The<br />

number of public companies is constantly decreasing, which is the sign that the Slovenian capital market is not<br />

attractive for provision of additional financial resources, due to high costs and unfavourable tax policy. The<br />

number of public companies is also changing during the year as a result of the admission of new securities to<br />

trading as well as withdrawal of certain issuers from the stock exchange.<br />

With the aim of informing the public and comprehensively informing investors, public companies must report on<br />

their financial standing, legal status and operations by publishing audited annual reports, semi-annual reports,<br />

interim management reports and by regularly informing the public about any matters that might significantly<br />

impact the price of issued securities.<br />

At the beginning of April 2010, the system for central storage of regulated information (CSI) came into effect. The<br />

CSI system with the title “INFO HRAMBA” (info storage) is being operated by the Ljubljana Stock Exchange on<br />

behalf of the ATVP; all public companies publish regulated information in this system.<br />

On the EU level the enforcement of the Transparency Directive stipulates that each member country is obliged to<br />

provide at least one CSI system. Individual CSI systems represent information points collecting regulated<br />

information on public companies and securities issued by them on the level of individual member countries. The<br />

future plans define that those systems should be linked into an electronic networks platform, which will represent<br />

a uniform point to access regulated information on all public companies on the EU level. Such organi<strong>za</strong>tion will<br />

provide adequate transparency and flow of regulated information, while the above stated facts will additionally<br />

contribute to a more efficient integrated EU market in securities.<br />

Under the requirement for publicity of information, public companies published 91 audited annual reports for 2009<br />

in 2010. Public companies also published 83 semi-annual reports for the first six months of 2010, and in the first<br />

[ 6 ]


half of 2010 they also published 72 interim management reports within the period starting upon the expiry of the<br />

ten weeks after the end of individual six-month period.<br />

In the second half of 2010, the interim management report was published by 73 public companies.<br />

In 2010, public companies made 1,627 announcements of regulated information, informing investors about<br />

individual facts that could impact the price of financial instruments.<br />

All above stated regulated information is also accessible at the websites of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange,<br />

websites of individual public companies and the “info-hramba”.<br />

Due to obligatory informing of the public, public companies published 190 notifications of significant changes to<br />

the ownership and management structure in 2010,; specifically on reaching, exceeding and terminated exceeding<br />

of 5-, 10-, 15-, 20-, 25-percent, 1/3, 50- and 75-percent shares of voting rights and notifications on every<br />

acquisition or disposal of a share of voting rights by a member of the company’s management or supervisory<br />

body.<br />

[ 7 ]


2. SECONDARY MARKET OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS<br />

At the end of 2010, there were 9 investment firms on the market of financial instruments (of which 8 were<br />

members of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange) that held an authorisation from the Agency to provide investment<br />

services, and 16 banks (of which 13 were members of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange) that held an authorisation<br />

from the Bank of Slovenia to provide investment services and transactions.<br />

During the year the number of investment firms decreased as a result of the merger of three investment firms into<br />

one.The number of the banks operating on the capital market increased by one.<br />

At the end of 2010, a total of 1,494 investment companies from EU Member States were notified for the direct<br />

provision of investment services and transactions related to financial instruments in the Republic of Slovenia.<br />

2.1. Admissions of financial instruments to the regulated market<br />

In 2010 the shares of the issuer Agrogorica, d. d., Šempeter pri Gorici (with the symbol AGOG) were admitted to<br />

the share market segment – entry market. The shares of the following issuers were removed from the share<br />

market segment − entry market: Gorenjski tisk, d. d., Kranj (symbol GTKG); Jelen, d. d., Slovenske Konjice<br />

(symbol JESG); Trdnjava holding, d. d., Celje (symbol TR0R); Center naloţbe, d. d., Maribor (symbol IFHR); MP<br />

Finance, d. d., Ljubljana (symbol MDUR) and Zlata Moneta II, d. d., Maribor (symbol ZM2R).<br />

The bonds of the following issuers were admitted to the bond market segment: Republic of Slovenia with the<br />

2.2. Volume and breakdown of trading in financial instruments on the regulated<br />

market<br />

The volume of trading in financial instruments on the regulated market has been constantly falling during the last<br />

three years. The volume of trading in shares of public companies was down by almost a half in 2010 compared to<br />

2009, while the volume of trading in bonds dropped by 30.3 %.<br />

In the trading structure for 2010 compared to 2009, shares lost 6.3 percentage points, although three quarters of<br />

all trading is still realized in shares. The interest for bonds was relatively higher. The percentage of bond trading<br />

increased by 4.8 percentage points, while the percentage of investment funds trading gained 1.5 percentage<br />

point (Table 6, Annex).<br />

A total of 123,044 transactions were concluded in 2010, which means an average of 490 transactions per trading<br />

day, while the number of transactions in 2009 was 162,100. The number of transactions decreased by 24.1 %,<br />

compared to 2009. The average daily volume of concluded transactions was EUR 1.96 million in 2010, which is<br />

45.4 % less than in 2009. The average value of a transaction was EUR 4,003 in 2010, which is EUR 1,798 less<br />

than in 2009. The majority of trades were in the shares of public companies (82.8 %), followed by IF shares (14.1<br />

%), and bonds (3.1 %). Based on such data, it can be established that trading in financial instruments is dropping,<br />

considering the number of concluded transactions and their volume.<br />

The structure by month is illustrated bellow.<br />

changed in 2010, in comparison to the previous year. The largest market share was that of UniCredit Banka<br />

Slovenija, which increased its market share by 5.25 percentage points, compared to 2009. It was followed by Alta<br />

Invest, who started operating in March 2010 and was formed after the merger of three investment firms.<br />

Considering the market share, the third place is occupied by Ilirika BPH, which increased its market share by 4.85<br />

percentage points in 2010, compared to 2009.<br />

In 2009, the company ecetra Central European e-Finance AG became the first member of the Ljubljana Stock<br />

Exchange with remote access, which provided foreign investors with a direct access to the Slovenian market. In<br />

December 2009, a subsidiary of BKS Bank became a member of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange. Two other<br />

companies became members of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange with remote access in 2010: Raiffeisen<br />

Centrobank AG, Vienna and KBC Securities NV, Brussels, Belgium.<br />

2.3. Non-residents’ activity on the regulated market<br />

Non-residents’ trading in financial instruments equalled about a half of total trading in 2010, mostly due to their<br />

trading in bonds and blue-chips. Irrespective of those data, it can be established from the volume of trading that<br />

the Slovenian Stock Exchange has become relatively uninteresting for foreign investors.<br />

2.4. Block trades<br />

In 2010, there were 261 block trades, which is 19.2 % more than in 2009, and 20.3 % more than in 2008. The<br />

block trade volume totalled EUR 136.1 million in 2010, i.e. 68.0 % less than in 2009 and 37.8 % less than in<br />

2008.<br />

Block trades accounted for 27.6 % of the total trading on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange in 2010, compared with<br />

47.1 % in 2009, and 17.0 % in 2008. The average value of a block trade in 2010 was EUR 0.52 million, i.e. 73.2<br />

% less than in 2009 and 48.3 % less than in 2008.<br />

2.5. Market indices<br />

Economic conditions in Slovenia are also illustrated by changes of the value of shares listed at the Ljubljana<br />

Stock Exchange. The value of the SBI TOP stock exchange index stood at 850.35 points at 31 December 2009,<br />

down 13.47 % or 132.32 points from a year earlier when the value of the SBI TOP index was 982.67 points. It<br />

peaked at 1,020.62 points on 5 January 2010. For comparison it must be mentioned that most stock exchange<br />

[ 12 ]


indices on the international capital markets experienced growth during the same period, which leads to a<br />

conclusion that recovery of the Slovenian economy is slower from other developed economies.<br />

Figure 4: The Slovenian stock exchange index SBI TOP in 2010<br />

Source: Ljubljana Stock Exchange<br />

The index SBI TOP is the first true blue-chip index of the Ljubljana Stock exchange, serving as the benchmark<br />

index, which offers information on the movement of prices of the most liquid shares at the Ljubljana stock<br />

Exchange. The index SBI TOP includes 5 to 10 regular shares, whereby the limit for each share’s proportion in<br />

the index cannot be higher than 30 %. Two liquidity criteria to include a share in the index SBI TOP are as<br />

follows:<br />

- minimum market capitalisation in free circulation EUR 50 million, and<br />

- minimum average daily trading (blocks excluded) EUR 50 thousand.<br />

The shares of 6 issuers were included in the SBI TOP as of 31 December 2010: Krka, d. d., Novo mesto (28.69<br />

% share of the index); Petrol, d. d., Ljubljana (23.46 % share of the index); Mercator, d. d., Ljubljana (20.69 %<br />

share of the index); Telekom Slovenije, d. d., Ljubljana (10.15 % share of the index); Nova KBM, d. d., Maribor<br />

(9.52 % share of the index) and Gorenje, d. d., Velenje (7.49 % share of the index).<br />

The value of most of the major global indices grew in 2010, the largest rise of 16.06 % being recorded by the<br />

DAX. The next-largest increase of 9.88 % was recorded by the NYSE US 100. The FTSE 100 was up 9.00 %,<br />

while the NIKKEI 225 finished the year down 3.01 %.<br />

2.6. Market capitalisation of financial instruments on the regulated market<br />

Market capitalisation of financial instruments on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange, calculated as the price of a<br />

financial instrument multiplied by the number of listed financial instruments, amounted to EUR 20.22 billion at the<br />

end of 2010 (IFs not included), which is 4.9 % more than in December 2009, when the figure was EUR 19.28<br />

billion. Total market capitalisation of all shares on the stock exchange (IFs not included) stood at EUR 7.03 billion<br />

at the end of December 2010, which was 16.9 % less than at the end of December 2009. Total market<br />

capitalisation of bonds stood at EUR 13.19 billion at the end of December 2010, up 21.9 % from a year earlier,<br />

when it amounted to EUR 10.82 billion, primarily because of new issues of bonds.<br />

The ten most heavily traded shares in 2010 accounted for 90.43 % of the total volume of trading in shares,<br />

compared to 92.92 % in 2009. This represents a slight decrease in the concentration of trading in the ten most<br />

heavily traded shares. The share of the most heavily traded share in the total trading amounted to 49.95 % in<br />

2010, and considerably increased, compared to 2009, when its share of total trading in shares equalled 29.38 %.<br />

2.7. Operations of investment firms<br />

In 2009, the Securities Market Agency developed the General Rules and Methodologies it uses when verifying<br />

and assessing investment firms under the second paragraph of Article 222 of the ZBan-1.<br />

The provisions of Article 301 of the ZTFI in relation to Article 222 of the ZBan-1 stipulate that the Agency must at<br />

least once a year:<br />

- Check the organisational structure, procedures and systems referred to in Article 124 of the ZBan-1 and<br />

the strategies and processes referred to in Article 126 of the ZBan-1, established by the investment firm<br />

for the purpose of harmonising its operations with the provisions of the ZTFI and regulations issued on<br />

the basis thereof;<br />

- Assess the risks to which the investment firm is or might be exposed in its operations; and<br />

- Assess the financial position and risks to which the investment firm is or might be exposed as a result<br />

of its relations with other persons within an investment group.<br />

With mutatis mutandis application of the third paragraph of Article 222 of the ZBan-1, the Agency verifies and<br />

assesses whether the organisational structure, procedures and systems referred to in Article 124 of the ZBan-1<br />

and the strategies and processes referred to in Article 126 of the ZBan-1, established by the investment firm, and<br />

the capital of the investment firm provide for a sound and reliable management system and appropriate coverage<br />

of risks, to which the investment firm is or might be exposed in its operations. By applying this methodology in<br />

2009, the Agency, based on supervision results, assessed individual investment firms depending on their risk and<br />

system relevance for the Slovenian capital market.<br />

[ 15 ]


An investment firm should always have enough capital available, considering the volume and types of investment<br />

services and transactions performed, and the risks to which it is exposed when performing such services and<br />

transactions. The initial capital of an investment firm should never be lower than EUR 730,000, except in the case<br />

stipulated by Article 153 of the ZTFI. Two investment firms reported an increase of initial capital in 2010.<br />

At the end of 2010, the sum of capital requirements for investment firms averaged EUR 0.54 million, which is 20.6<br />

% less than at the end of 2009. In the same period the average capital of investment firms decreased by 19.9 %.<br />

Nevertheless, investment firms had enough capital on average to cover eventual risks from operations. Unless an<br />

individual investment firm fulfilled capital requirements, the Agency would act in compliance with the Law.<br />

Table 17: Capital adequacy of investment firms (average)<br />

A investment firm's exposure to an individual entity is the sum of all its receivables and contingent receivables<br />

from that entity, the value of its investments in financial instruments of that entity, and the value of its other equity<br />

holdings in that entity. A investment firm's exposure to an individual entity and parties related to that entity may<br />

not exceed 25 % of the investment firm's capital.<br />

Any exposure of an investment firm to an individual entity and its related parties that exceeds 10% of the<br />

investment firm's capital is classed as a large exposure. A large exposure may not exceed 25 % of the investment<br />

firm's capital. The sum of all large exposures of an investment firm may not exceed 800 % of the amount of the<br />

company’s capital.<br />

At the end of 2010, the total large exposures/capital ratio (average for all investment firms) was 13.2, i.e., 49.2 %<br />

less than at the end of 2009.<br />

An investment firm must monthly report to the Agency on the liquidity ratios and liquidity amount for each working<br />

day of the past month. The liquidity ratio of an investment firm represents the ratio between liquid assets and<br />

matured or soon-to-be-matured liabilities of a investment firm. The liquidity ratio of a investment firm calculated<br />

for a specific working day must equal at least 1.<br />

At the end of 2010, the average liquidity ratio of investment firms was 17.54 or 19.7 % less than at the end of<br />

2009.<br />

3. INVESTMENT FUNDS<br />

The global financial crisis, which started in 2008, caused a fall in the prices on global stock exchanges and<br />

consequently an extreme plunge in the value of investment fund assets, which in spite of growth during 2009 and<br />

2010, have not yet reached the value from before the financial crisis. The assets of Slovenian investment funds<br />

grew by 2.5 % to EUR 2.29 million in 2010, compared to the previous year. In the same period, the assets of<br />

European investment funds rose by 13.7 % to EUR 8,025 billion.<br />

In spite of the financial crisis, which significantly affected the investment fund sector, the range of investment<br />

funds did not decrease. On the contrary, competition among providers of investment fund management services<br />

has been increasing, as the number of newly founded investment funds operated by local management<br />

companies (MCs) raised by 3 to total 135 by the end of 2010.<br />

In 2010, there were 13 MCs in Slovenia operating 133 MFs and 2 ICs. At the end of 2010, 162 investment funds<br />

and sub-funds from other EU Member Countries, fulfilling the requirements of the Directive on Undertakings for<br />

Collective Investments in Transferable Securities (UCITS), were registered in Slovenia<br />

3.1. Mutual funds<br />

The net value of assets of MFs managed by local MCs at the end of 2010 exceed EUR 2 billion for the first time<br />

and was by a tenth higher than a year before. The reason for this increase can be mostly attributed to the new<br />

growth of value of investments, particularly those oriented towards foreign financial markets, and to the<br />

transformation of two ICs into MFs.<br />

Table 21: Net asset value of MFs from 2005 to 2010 (in EUR million)<br />

31. 12. 2005 31. 12. 2006 31. 12. 2007 31. 12. 2008 31. 12. 2009 31. 12. 2010<br />

Slovenian investors responded to the crisis with lower payments and withdrawal of assets from MFs, however,<br />

they did not change their habits or willingness to assume risks when investing their assets in MFs. This fact is<br />

illustrated by the share of assets invested into individual types of MFs, since those shares remained almost<br />

identical all the time, including the entire period of the crisis. As shown on Figure 7, the MFs with principal<br />

investments in shares prevailed in 2010 (64 %), followed by mixed MFs (30 %), while other types of MFs had only<br />

insignificant shares. It must be underlined that monetary funds are unable to develop in Slovenia, mostly due to<br />

taxation policy.<br />

[ 17 ]


Investors’ response in Europe was different, as they chose investments in specific types of MFs to respond on<br />

changing conditions in economy and on financial markets. As a result, during the worst crisis in 2008, shares of<br />

mutual funds with less risky investment policy, namely monetary MFs, increased, while shares of more risky<br />

equity MFs dropped. With the change of investment orientation, investors tried to insure their liquidity positions<br />

and keep the relative value of their assets invested in mutual funds. In 2009 and 2010 these shares began<br />

returning to the level before the crisis. Distribution of assets by types of MFs is much more balanced in Europe<br />

than in Slovenia, as no type of MF considerably differs.<br />

We must explain that according to the Bank of Slovenia, household assets in Slovenia placed in investment funds<br />

accounted for only 6 % in the structure of household financial property at the end of the third quarter of 2010,<br />

while the share of bank deposits and cash of households accounted for no less than 54 %. Such situation leads<br />

to a conclusion that in Slovenia investments in MFs are the decision of the investors, who are willing to assume<br />

higher risks, while in Europe MFs play a significant role in household savings.<br />

2007 to 2010<br />

The ratio among MCs in relation to the number of funds they manage and the volume of assets remains more or<br />

less unchanged. At the end of the year, the large majority of assets were managed by Triglav DZU, d.o.o., i.e.,<br />

EUR 472 million or 23.3 % of total assets, followed by KD Skladi, d.o.o., which managed 18.3 % of total assets,<br />

and NLB skladi, d.o.o., with 16.8 % of total assets.<br />

The major part of the MFs’ assets consists of investments in securities, which are traded on the regulated<br />

securities markets (85 %). Equity securities, whose value equalled EUR 1.52 million at the end of 2010, represent<br />

as high as 74.2 % of total equity of MFs. The share of investments in securities of foreign issuers has been<br />

constantly growing to reach 66.8 % of total MFs’ assets at the end of 2010.<br />

Figure 8 shows the number of investors in MFs managed by domestic MCs from December 2005 to December<br />

2010. At the end of 2010, there were 421,366 investors, which represents a 7.4 % growth compared to the<br />

previous year, however, it should be underlined that the increase can be attributed to the transformation of two<br />

ICs into MFs. The concentration of investors increased compared to 2009, as three major MFs, measured in<br />

terms of net asset value, accounted for 29.4 % of all investors at the end of 2010 (21.9 % in 2009).<br />

The average value of assets in Slovenian MFs per capita stood at around EUR 1,000 at the end of 2010, which<br />

was 9.1 % more than in 2009 and a half less than at the end of 2007. In that aspect Slovenia is far behind the<br />

average in Europe, in which the average value of assets per capita in the same period was almost EUR 12,000,<br />

which was 13.2 % more than in 2009.<br />

In 2008 investors responded to the crisis and withdrew their funds from the MFs, while in 2009 and 2010 they<br />

reinvested them into MFs. In 2010, the MFs managed by MCs based in Slovenia recorded inflows totalling EUR<br />

285 million and outflows in the amount of EUR 268 million. Thus the inflows into MFs amounted to EUR 17<br />

million, which represented 0.9 % of total MF’s assets at the end of 2010.<br />

In European MFs, a total of EUR 166 billion of net inflows were recorded, i.e. 2.1 % of the value of assets in<br />

European MFs at the end of 2010. In 2009, European MFs recorded a similar amount of net inflows, namely EUR<br />

123 billion.<br />

In 2010, MFs managed by domestic MCs recorded a slightly larger structural adjustment of assets, considering<br />

the investment policy of MFs. Such situation was stimulated by the approval of the Rules on Traceability of<br />

Transfers among Sub-funds of the Same Umbrella Fund, which from 25 October 2008 provides for an exchange<br />

of investment coupons of an individual sub-fund for investment coupons of other sub-funds of the same umbrella<br />

fund with tax deferral. Thus high transfers were recorded by mixed MFs, as those assets were redirected into<br />

equity and bond MFs, which recorded the highest ever net inflows equalling EUR 27 million.<br />

The year 2010, similar as 2009, recorded a positive weighted average return of all types of MFs (change of unit<br />

value – UV), in which the ratio of the fund’s assets to the total assets of a particular type of mutual fund (equity,<br />

mixed, bond and monetary) was used for weighing. The weighted average of measured nominal return of equity<br />

funds equalled 2.6 %, bond MFs also 2.6 %, followed by mixed MFs with 0.4 %. The lowest fluctuation was<br />

recorded by the return of monetary flows MFs, which fluctuated between 0.02 % and 1.7 %, while the weighted<br />

average annual return stood at 0.8 %.<br />

3.2. Investment companies<br />

As a result of transformation process of ICs from authorized investment companies into MFs, the significance of<br />

investment companies in Slovenia has been decreasing, as the volume of trade in shares of investment<br />

companies in 2010 represented only 3.3 % of total turnover at the Ljubljana Stock Exchange. The remaining two<br />

investment companies should transform into mutual funds in 2011.<br />

At the end of 2010 the net value of ICs’ assets stood at EUR 222 million, which represents a 37 % decrease,<br />

compared to the end of 2009. The decrease of the net value of ICs’ assets in 2010 can be attributed to the lower<br />

value of investments and transformation of two out of four ICs into MFs.<br />

ICs invest predominantly in equity securities traded on regulated securities markets. These investments<br />

amounted to almost EUR 167 million at the end of 2010, or 69.5 % of total investments. Of the total, EUR 151<br />

million or 62.9 % of all IC assets were invested in equity securities of domestic issuers.<br />

said about the average market price of IC shares, which dropped by 11.3 % in 2010, compared to 2009. Similarly<br />

as in 2009, the change between the book value and market value of shares in ICs was also rather constant in<br />

In 2010, the discount between the average book value and the average market value of IC shares was<br />

fluctuating moderately. At the end of 2009, the discount of the average market price in terms of the average<br />

book value of shares was 28.2 % and at the end of 2010 it dropped to 26.8 %. A lower difference between the<br />

market price of shares and their book value can be attributed to more trust by investors due to better global<br />

investment anticipations in 2010, and closing of the deadline for transformation of ICs into MFs.<br />

3.3. Investment funds from the EU Member States meeting the conditions for<br />

marketing and sale in the Republic of Slovenia<br />

The offer of investment funds from the EU Member States in 2010 remained the same, compared to 2009, as 162<br />

investment funds from the EU Member States were traded on the territory of the Republic of Slovenia at the end<br />

of 2010 and at end of 2009.<br />

In 2010, the Agency processed 9 notifications for marketing and sale of units of new investment funds of EU<br />

Member States in the Republic of Slovenia, whereby all investment funds fulfilled the requirements. Furthermore,<br />

9 investment funds from the EU Member States were discontinued in the Republic of Slovenia in 2010.<br />

4. MUTUAL PENSION FUNDS<br />

At the end of 2010, there were 6 mutual pension funds – MPFs that held the authorisation to operate, with<br />

253,320 members. Of those, 250,772 were covered by collective insurance (via employers) and 3,296 held<br />

individual insurance and paid the premiums by themselves. The ZPIZ-1 (Pension and Disability Insurance Act)<br />

allows for each insured person to subscribe to one collective and one individual pension plan.<br />

As of the last day of 2010, all MPFs together managed assets in the amount of EUR 762 million, which is 17.7 %<br />

more than at the end of 2009 and 50.7 % above the respective 2008 figure. The increase in the assets is the<br />

result of regular payments into the MPFs.<br />

Because the operators of MPFs are obliged each month to secure the guaranteed return on the net collected<br />

premium, which depends on the yield of government bonds, the MPFs focus primarily on fixed-return<br />

investments, i.e., bonds (58.4 %) and bank deposits (25.8 %). In this way, managers expect to guarantee modest,<br />

but positive returns on collected premiums and avoid any risk of failing to achieve the minimum guaranteed<br />

return.<br />

bonds still prevail, accounting for 58.4 % of total assets of MPFs.<br />

Figure 13: Aggregate structure of investments in MPFs as at 31 December 2010<br />

A moderate growth of MPFs’ members was recorded in 2010, compared to previous years. Members included in<br />

collective pension savings schemes still prevail. The share of members included in individual pension insurance<br />

remains insignificant, especially due to low tax relief and the fact that collective pension savings schemes can use<br />

the tax relief more efficiently.<br />

of which the Closed Mutual Pension Fund for Civil Servants alone accounts for 61 % of the market share and the<br />

In line with the ZPIZ-1, voluntary supplementary pension insurance is provided by MPFs, insurance companies<br />

and pension companies. In terms of the volume of collected assets by the providers of voluntary supplementary<br />

pension insurance, MPFs achieved a 42.6 % market share in 2010.<br />

Supplementary pension insurance is a form of insurance, in which the policy holder assumes the investment risk<br />

with a guaranteed return on the net premium paid. The guaranteed return, which is expressed as an annual<br />

return that the manager of the MPF guarantees, may not be lower than 40 % of the average annual interest rate<br />

on government securities with a maturity of more than one year. Fulfilment of guaranteed monthly return is<br />

verified for each MPF on monthly basis. In 2010, all MPFs fulfilled such monthly requirement, which is also<br />

illustrated in the following table.<br />

Notes: * Data on the value of shares admitted to trading on a regulated market in 2007, 2008 and 2009 cannot be compared to data from<br />

previous years in terms of nominal value, since most of them were issued as no-par value shares without nominal value. Neither can they<br />

be evaluated at market value, since the market price of shares is determined after the shares have actually been traded on a regulated<br />

market. Therefore, the value of share issues from the years 2007, 2008 and 2009, which were admitted to trading on a regulated market, is<br />

shown for the purpose of comparison in the amount that reflects the value of share capital for which the shares admitted to trading on a<br />

regulated market were issued, or in the amount that reflects the value of share capital by which the issuer's capital had been increased and<br />

later the listing expanded by shares (in cases the shares of previous issues of an individual issuer have already been admitted to trading<br />

on a regulated market prior to capital increase).<br />

Notes: * In 2007, the nominal value of a takeover can only be determined in four cases, while in the rest of the cases this<br />

information cannot be provided since shares were issued as no-par value shares without nominal value. No data is available on<br />

the nominal value of takeovers in 2008 to 2010, since shares were issued as no-par value shares.<br />
