Since 2012, REF has been helping investors with market research, project due diligence, and strategy development. This has ranged from detailed assessments and estimates on distressed developers' project portfolios to market due diligence on specific projects to macro-level questions linked to demand for commodities. The unique combination of the housing markets and developer data from data partner China Index Academy in Beijing, primary research, and technology-powered alternative data collection from public sources result in a valuable content set used in REF analytics and reports.

Tabbush Report

We provide research and consultancy on Asian banks. Our focus is on what we call “Asian bank research, without the noise.” We are interested in the most critical swing-factors for banks, the NPL and credit cycle, and where we believe there is a gap between perception and reality. We often focus on the less studied components of bank financial statements.  Our research is highly thematic, sometimes examining unlisted banks and companies as a window on mainstream banks. 

Being independent allows us to look at smaller banks, often overlooked by others. Analysis of BIS bank guidelines in the context of Asia, is also a focal point, while we also analyze global banks operating in the region. We use what we believe is the most comprehensive, reliable financials database, SNL Financial. S&P Capital IQ augments our database, with corporate data and CEIC, with economics.

China Data Brief: New Home Sales Growth Slows, Land Sales Growth Less Negative (Jan-Jun)

A number of indicators point at an impending turning point for the aggregate level house price growth in China. Historically, a set of indicators such as M2 money supply growth rate and sales volumes growth for 'commercial residential' sector in terms of gross floor area sold, have been fairly good predictors of the direction of the house price growth. And the house price growth has followed a fairly consistent set of cycles over the past years, reflecting the sequence of policy easing and tightening moves.
