UK banking landscape presents potential for new competitors

September 21, 2009

Analysis by:Nathaniel Finkin, Managing Partner and Principal,

Analysis of:State Bank of India open to acquisitions in UK | www.reuters.com

The large scale nationalization of the UK banking system leaves open the possibility for new players to enter the marketplace and compete.

September 16, 2009

Analysis by:Nathaniel Finkin, Managing Partner and Principal,

Analysis of:Wells Fargo, Fifth Third Add to Predictions of Higher Defaults | www.bloomberg.com

One of the most compelling contrasts between the 2007-08 (and still ongoing) meltdown in the residential housing market, vs. the forecast bubble-burst in commercial real estate for 2009-10, is the methodology banks and lenders use to forecast losses. This contrast will definitely lend itself to more transparency and clarity with this current lending crisis vs. the previous residential and consumer meltdown.

Capital One will be pressured along several fronts in 2009

June 11, 2009

Analysis by:Nathaniel Finkin, Managing Partner and Principal,

Analysis of:Capital One Looks to Adapt to Credit Card Laws | www.washingtonpost.com

1) The CARD act of 2009 will impair fee collection, and absent a new drive to assess annual fees to their better clients it will be challenging if not impossible to recoup those fees. 2) Capital One will be dealing with rising unemployment, which has and will continue to correlate directly to higher delinquency and higher charge offs 3) The response to these events from a risk management perspective will inhibit asset growth and thus compound the earnings issue
