Thematic (Sector/Industry)

In this review, we move away from day-to-day stock picking and even omit any mentions of prices, so you can focus solely on understanding the industry structure. This primer is only useful if you are unfamiliar with the sector. Most financial services groups in Thailand have a core banking flagship, and the bigger groups will also offer a full line of products (such as asset management, securities, and insurance). While the discussion extends to things like leasing and even support services (admin, law, etc), we will omit clearly non-related businesses such as property and petrochemicals, even if some banking groups, most notably BBL have exposure to them.In a time when we are fairly confident that investing in Thai equities will lead you to only short to medium term losses, we believe these more contemplative groundwork will simply be more constructive, giving you an understanding of the sector, as investors patiently wait for a time to come back to investing here.

Technical and Quantitative Research

Vermilion Research

Vermilion’s objective is to deliver timely, actionable, and unique technical research to professional investors through the application of our various technical indicators.

Our research strategists seek to highlight securities which we believe are at major inflection points, based on our various technical and quantitative indicators, and offer asymmetric risk/return profiles. Our unique research methodology, centered on relative strength, enables our strategists to deliver superior investment recommendations.

Our process begins by organizing the universe of actively traded stocks into discrete sectors, then into industry groups. We then apply our technical and quantitative tools to identify developing price trends. Once attractive trends are identified within a selected sector or group, we screen for individual stocks which we believe offer the best risk/reward profile. We provide a historical perspective that often reveals, through our long-term charts, how price patterns often repeat themselves over time.

A recent Bloomberg article titled "China's about to give global finance the chance of a lifetime" made me smile. In the article Bloomberg predicts that in the thirteen years between 2017 and 2030 foreign bank assets will rise from RMB 3.2 Trillion to RMB 18.8 Trillion (a CAGR of 15%) taking their market share from 1.3% to 3.1%. The underlying assumption seems to be that total bank assets will grow at a CAGR of 7%. Given bank assets currently equal about 3x GDP, one assumes that 7% is also the…
