Victor Galliano

Victor Galliano is an experienced equity banks analyst, having covered Latin America banks and non-bank financials for over 12 years, as well as more recently covering the Italian banks. He has worked in sell side equity research for 30 years in a career spanning Barclays, HSBC, BBVA LatInvest, Barings and NatWest.
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>The SoftBank share price rally is, in our view, based on optimism around the Arm IPO, the Yen’s relative weakness and recovering share prices of public companies in the portfolio</li>
<li>Nvidia’s emergence as a potential anchor investor in the Arm IPO has boosted SoftBank shares, yet there is still a big disparity between groups in terms of Arm’s potential valuation</li>
<li>Aside from a recovery in public tech companies’ shares, Yen weakness has supported SoftBank’s asset values; monetary policy moves now indicate the prospect of a stronger Yen versus the USD</li>
