Coalition’s unique reports on the investment banking industry available on a quarterly basis through S&P Global Market Intelligence’s Aftermarket Research Offering
London, Feb. 23 2017 — S&P Global Market Intelligence, a leading provider of multi-asset class research data and insights, today announced it is partnering with CRISIL'S division Coalition, a leading analytics and business intelligence provider, to offer strategic competitive intelligence on the global investment banking industry.
As part of this partnership, Coalition’s unique reports on the investment banking industry will be made available each quarter through S&P Global Market Intelligence’s extensive Aftermarket Research offering on its S&P Capital IQ Platform. The reports offer a broad view of the industry, as well as a detailed analysis of the Coalition Index - the top 12 global investment banks - by analysing revenues, headcount, and productivity across 13 Investment Banking Division (IBD) and Global Markets products in the Americas, APAC and EMEA. The reports also include further insights into operating margins, risk-weighted assets (RWA), and exposure and returns of the Index.
The forthcoming report for full year 2016, to be made available on the S&P Capital IQ Platform at the end of March, will show that revenues at Coalition Index banks have remained relatively stable as a result of a strong year in fixed income, commodities and currencies (FICC). Strength in G10 rates, municipal bonds and credit linked products have offset declines in equity capital markets and M&A, as well as poor performance in structured equity products.
“Despite the recent stability in top-line performance, we continue to see volatility in market share due to product optimization and some restructuring among global and regional banks,” highlighted George Kuznetsov, Global Head of Research and Analysis at Coalition.
“Banks have done much to optimise their headcount and some parts of compensation but there is still continued pressure on non-compensation costs. They have also reduced RWA, however return on equity remains a challenge and below the cost of capital (usually estimated at 10-12%) for investment banks,” continued Kuznetsov. “Given that the large effort to reduce exposure has been successful, the focus is expected to move to RWA in 2017 as banks start preparing for the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book capital requirements”.
“Investment banks are focusing on rationalisation efforts and business simplification, in an effort to mitigate weaker revenue and operating margins in a context of higher regulatory pressure and associated costs,” said Silvina Aldeco-Martinez, Managing Director, Capital Markets, at S&P Global Market Intelligence.
“The launch of this partnership with Coalition builds on our capabilities to provide essential intelligence on investment banks around the world. We hope that these reports will provide our clients with deep insights into the relative competitive positions of key players in this industry. Furthermore, the addition of Coalition’s reports expands our already comprehensive and diverse Aftermarket Research Collection and top tier broker research.”
“We are very pleased to be launching this enhanced Coalition Index report series leveraging the broad distribution network of the S&P Capital IQ Platform,” said Stephane Besson, CEO of Coalition, a division of CRISIL.
“These quarterly reports will provide new and unique insights on the performance of the investment banking industry, across detailed FICC, equities and IBD products, to support a variety of functions across bank Strategy, COO and Equity Research teams. This is the first set of analytics in our new series and we look forward to developing our content on the S&P Capital IQ Platform over the coming months.”
