Galliano’s Financials Research

Galliano's Financials Research provides fundamental research in Emerging Markets financials, including FinTech, as well as financials in select Developed Markets.

The investment style applied is generally value oriented, although Growth At Reasonable Price (GARP) strategies can also be used where appropriate. 

Our investment research approach aim is often contrarian, looking to capitalise on overly sceptical or optimistic consensus views. In terms of valuation techniques, the focus is on PBV ratio to ROE, PE multiples and dividend yield, as well as the application of PEG ratios and, where appropriate, Sum of the Parts (SOTP) valuations.

Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>Hana Financial remains our buy pick among Korean banks; it is close to the top our scorecard, it remains attractively valued and its returns are improving</li>
<li>Hana is trading at a large PBV discount to KB Financial; this currently stands at a 30%+ discount which is over one standard deviation from the historical PBV discount mean</li>
<li>Furthermore, we see that this relatively dovish phase of monetary policy, Hana appears to have more limited downside risk than its peers in terms of further interest spread erosion</li>
</ul>
