Transport Sector, China and Asia-focused Research

I was fascinated by the reporting and then the responses to the Panama Papers, which implicates to some extent several high profile figures. I would agree that in many cases this can be press noise, and some push back is warranted. But I want to focus on implications for banks, directly and indirectly. Over the years I had the pleasure and the pain of working for BNP, UBS, Credit Suisse and Citigroup. Many of us have worked for banks. My geographical cross-sections have been spread across…

Tabbush Report

We provide research and consultancy on Asian banks. Our focus is on what we call “Asian bank research, without the noise.” We are interested in the most critical swing-factors for banks, the NPL and credit cycle, and where we believe there is a gap between perception and reality. We often focus on the less studied components of bank financial statements.  Our research is highly thematic, sometimes examining unlisted banks and companies as a window on mainstream banks. 

Being independent allows us to look at smaller banks, often overlooked by others. Analysis of BIS bank guidelines in the context of Asia, is also a focal point, while we also analyze global banks operating in the region. We use what we believe is the most comprehensive, reliable financials database, SNL Financial. S&P Capital IQ augments our database, with corporate data and CEIC, with economics. 

Asian bank research, without the noise.
