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.

Private Capital Markets

<ul>
<li>US fintech Chime, another high-profile fintech in Softbank’s Vision Fund 2 portfolio, sees its secondary market valuation in the private market fall by nearly 50% on a year-to-date basis</li>
<li>Chime had been planning to IPO in 1H 2022, with its IPO valuation estimated at close to USD40bn; poor market conditions have led to the IPO being shelved</li>
<li>Chime’s reduced valuation is another hit to Softbank’s portfolio, which has yet to feature a recent “down round”, and which we believe negatively impacts its Vision Fund 2 in particular</li>
