Doing bespoke work since 2002.....

Custom Products Group

Custom Products was started 14 years ago at Lehman Brothers by current co-founder Patrick Hansen, CFA. After 3 years at Lehman, Patrick moved the team to Macquarie Securities where Simon Rigney (co-founder) joined. 3 years ago we took Custom Products independent. 

Our core strength can be summed up three words. 1- Customization - we have very little off the shelf products and most work is done on a one on one bespoke basis. 2- Speed - We pride ourselves in our ability to get requests back to the client very quickly. 3- Confidentiality - We do not redistribute. There is no grace period where we wait a week and then mass blast. Any request stops with that client.

Thematic (Sector/Industry)

We screened for names that brokeout on strong volume yesterday. We define a breakout when a stock hits its 30-day high and has not hit a 30-day high in the last rolling 30-days. This way we avoid momentum names that are setting new highs each day and therefore we get a real breakout.<h2>Screen Criteria</h2><ol>

Names that Brokeout on Volume Yesterday in Asia....

Asean-focused. Ex-Head of Thai Research

Athaporn Arayasantiparb, CFA

Over the past 20 years, Thailand faced two financial crisis, namely Tom Yum Goong in 1997 and Lehman in 2008. Discounting the political nonsense that is just part of life down here, we think there are five important lessons to take away, regarding: 1) the importance of investors; 2) liabilities-cash flow matching; 3) sticking to core competencies as well as avoiding : 4) currency pegs to dollars (or any currency); and 5) capital controls. No event in Thai business history has transformed the landscape more than the 1997 crisis. In this review, we highlight a few anecdotes of those who survived and those who didn't (at least not in their original forms).

Equity Bottom-Up

After one quarter has lapsed, we meet with Bangkok Airways again and well as another land transport company called KIAT. KIAT may have a tiny market cap, but they are the largest listed logistics company in Thailand for hazardous materials. Now, this is pretty high margin stuff compared to regular land transport, because "high risk, high returns" is the name of the game yo. In Thailand, you can't transport stuff like these (industrial gases or NGV) on trains. In addition to this, KIAT also does…
