Equity Bottom-Up

Deutschebank, one of Europe's biggest bank, is falling deeper into crisis. It has been called the 'Lehman Brothers of Europe', and Merkel has been vocal about not bailing it out. MCorp Review believes the German Chancellor will eventually eat her words and bail out the iconic bank, but there are many past examples (UBS, ING) that indicates that: 1) Deutsche will further divest its assets in Asia; and 2) the people who buy those assets do not necessarily do well.Hence, we highlight the risk of the Tisco-Deutsche brokerage partnership unraveling in Thailand, which would benefit rival Thanachart. Our favorite bank remains SCB. Like Deutsche, SCB has some history with derivatives, and it is certainly in a different league from Deutsche's Thai partner Tisco.

Chinese investment in Africa is much misunderstood, with little reliable data. But it can be said with some certainty that the main damage done by such investments is not so much to Africa, but to the Chinese economy.
