  • In a Year of Contraction, Asia Feels the Ripple Effect of Mifid II 2016 Greenwich Leaders: Asian Equities
    In a Year of Contraction, Asia Feels the Ripple Effect of MiFID II 2016 Greenwich Leaders: Asian Equities Q1 2017 Three global brokers are pulling away from the pack in the Asian equity research/advisory business—a break from historical patterns characterized by a more gradual slope among major competitors. Credit Suisse, Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley are statistically deadlocked atop the list of 2016 Greenwich Leaders in Asian Equity Research/Advisory Vote Share. These three firms have opened a significant lead over UBS, CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets and J.P. Morgan, which are also virtually tied in terms of vote share and round out the list of this year’s winners. In Asian Equity Trading, the same three firms are statistically tied for the top spot in overall share, but in this business, their lead over fellow Greenwich Share Leaders CLSA, UBS and Citi is much narrower. In the growing algorithmic trading business, Bank of America Merrill Lynch widened its lead over the competition.

  • China 2025 16
    China | Equity Strategy China 14 December 2014 EQUITY RESEARCH China The Year of the Ram: Stars Aligned for a Historic Bull Run Key Takeaway The Ram, the Bull and the Heavenly Twins – the stars are now aligned for China’s historic bull-run. China's stock market offers massive untapped potential given the high savings rate and low penetration. “Keeping Growth Steady” is a top priority for 2015; we expect SHCOMP and HSCEI to test 4,050 and 15,420, up 38% and 37% from current levels. As confidence gains momentum, volatility becomes the investors’ best friend. CHINA China Gallops into a Historic Bull Run. On Nov 20, 2013, we wrote “The Year of the Horse will see China unleash its full potential, as President Xi ushers in a new era of profound change.” “We expect capital markets to gradually gain confidence in China’s ability to drive fundamental reforms and expect Chinese stocks to enter a historic multi-year bull run.” Indeed, 2014 has been a remarkable year. As of Dec.12, SHCOMP surged 39% to 2938, breaking a seven-year bearish trend to become the best performing index in the world. China Stock Market: Massive Untapped Potential. According to China Household Finance Survey, property accounted for 66.4% of total Chinese household assets in 2013. Financial assets accounted for a mere 10.1% of household wealth. While over 61% of Chinese families have bank deposits, only 6.5% of them invested in the stock market. Given China’s high savings rate and low stock market penetration, we believe the A-share market offers significant upside potential.

PlacementTracker also announced that Sichenzia Ross Friedman Ference, LLP ranked as the number one most active issuer counsel and Schulte Roth & Zabel, LLP ranked as the number one most active investor counsel in the PIPE market during the first two quarters of 2007. PlacementTracker, a flagship product of Sagient Research Systems, is well recognized as the leading provider of research, data, and analytics covering the PIPE market. Commenting on the League Tables, Robert F. Kyle, executive vice president of Sagient Research said, "The amount raised in the first half of 2007 was the largest ever in the history of the PIPE market. During the first six months, we recorded 645 PIPE transactions totaling $22.42 billion in equity and equity-linked capital raised (excluding Structured Equity Lines and Canadian issuers). Although the number of transactions dipped slightly versus the first half of last year, the amount raised represents an astounding 38% increase over the total amount raised during the first half of 2006 and puts the market on track to smash last year's record volume of PIPE activity. As always, we congratulate all of the active agents, investors, and legal counsel in the PIPE market for a tremendous first half, especially those leaders who topped the League Tables.
