Equity Bottom-Up

The Vongkusolkij family of Mitr Phol Group boasts market leadership in not one but two very distinct industries: sugar and coal (Banpu), and have diversified into power. But they are also big shareholders in Erawan, Thailand's largest low-cost hotel play. To understand why anyone would want to get into three very different sectors, we outline the structure of Thailand's sugar industry and the family structure and personality of Chanin, the patriarch's younger brother, to understand their diversification. You will be equally surprised that the family has dabbled in insurance (Royal Sun &amp; Alliance) and even has links to the founders of Kiatnakin Phatra, an investment bank that has gained a great deal of spotlight lately...and of course, the timing for this review couldn't be better. October 28 was Banpu Power's first trading day.
