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>Headline 2QFY22 results for Softbank Group were in the black, largely due to the Alibaba stake sale, but the group’s three funds registered an aggregate USD10bn of valuation losses</li>
<li>FTX’s write-down to zero will cost Softbank’s Vision Fund 2 USD100m in 3Q22, our main concern is what the VC funding downturn means for portfolio valuations in the coming quarter</li>
<li>The group’s NAV discount has now tightened meaningfully; we believe that this makes it less advantageous for management to announce another share buy-back programme</li>
