  • [OPINION] Banks Thrive: Birling Capital US Bank Index Leads 2024 with a 43.75% Return | Opinion


    Banking’s New Crossroads: Can the Industry Sustain Its Stellar Comeback?

    Both 2023 and 2024 have marked a resurgence for the banking sector, its best performance since the prelude to the 2007–09 global financial crisis. With robust profitability, fortified capital positions, and ample liquidity, the industry has reasserted itself as the world’s largest profit-generating sector. Despite recent gains, banks remain at the bottom of the barrel in price-to-book multiples across sectors, raising questions about long-term value creation.

    Global Economic Update for 2025 & 2026

    The International Monetary Fund updated the Global Growth Forecast on January 17, 2025, and anticipates that Global Growth will remain steady at 3.3% for 2025 and 2026, aligning closely with the projections for the October 2024 World Economic Outlook. The forecast provides an upgrade on the United States forecast to 2.7% GDP in 2025, up from 2.6%, and the Eurozone was upgraded as well for  2025 to 1.0% GDP, up from 0.90% GDP in October 2024.

    The downward adjustments in other regions have counterbalanced this. A resurgence in inflation could disrupt the anticipated shift in monetary policy, raising concerns about fiscal sustainability and financial stability. Using the latest GDPNow for the fourth quarter of 2024, it has a forecast of the US Economy of 3%; it seems the “Soft Landing” is within reach. 

    A Turning Point: Key Predictions for Banks in 2025

    The critical question is will the industry’s 2024 gains serve as a launchpad for Sustained Growth during 2025, or will it succumb to the gravitational pull of market developments?

    1. Interest Rate Environment: The median projection anticipates the Fed Funds Rates for 2025 to reach 3.9% and for 2026 will reach 3.4%. That is a decrease of 8.25%-13.33%, using the current Fed Funds Rate range of 4.25%-4.50%. The considerable risk is that prolonged high rates could lead to higher loan defaults, particularly in riskier sectors.
    2. Digital Transformation: the continued investment in technology and digital banking will drive revenue through fee-based services and efficiencies. 
    3. Loan Growth: Corporate Lending demand will increase, and Consumer Lending depends on interest rates, housing market and employment conditions.
    4. Economic Growth: performance in key markets such as the US, Europe, and emerging Asia will boost credit demand.
    5. Mergers & Acquisitions: consolidation in the banking industry continues, driven by regulatory pressures and the need for scale in a competitive market.
    6. Regulatory and ESG Trends: Stricter regulatory environments could impact profitability but create opportunities for well-capitalized institutions.
    7. Non-Interest Revenue Growth: Diversification into wealth management, insurance, and advisory services will boost non-interest income. 
    8. Geopolitical Risks: Escalating tensions or conflicts may affect global trade and investment flows.
    9. Credit Quality: Rising defaults or a real estate market correction could lead to higher provisions.
    10. Technological Disruption: Banks that lag in digital innovation may lose market share to fintech firms.

    The Final Word: Unlocking Growth and Value in the Banking Sector

    Understanding the path forward is essential for investors seeking to maximize returns in the banking sector. Banks must recapture historical valuation multiples and sustain long-term Growth by addressing structural and operational challenges with urgency and agility. This represents a challenge and a compelling investment opportunity for those who recognize the potential to unlock value and drive Growth.

    The banking sector holds the key to creating real momentum by tackling four critical areas:

    1. Understanding the Starting PositionInvestors should assess how well banks understand their market value drivers. A clear understanding of what sets a bank apart—cost efficiency, customer relationships, or product differentiation—is critical for driving a competitive edge. 

    2. Maximizing Asset Valuethe value gap between institutions presents both a challenge and an opportunity. 

    3. Streamlining ExecutionOperational efficiency is a key driver of profitability. 

    4. Adapting and InnovatingThe pace of change in the financial landscape requires banks to be highly responsive to emerging trends and competitive pressures. 

    Over the past two years, banks have reclaimed their position as a top-performing industry. Their best showing of this is the 43.75% return delivered by the Birling Capital US Bank Index in 2024 , highlighting the sector’s ability to adapt and thrive despite challenging macroeconomic conditions. As with any investment, the key is how to profit from them.



    As we enter the second quarter of 2024, it is clear that banks are thriving in the current economic climate. The Birling Capital US Bank Index has taken the lead with an impressive 43.75% return, outperforming many other sectors in the market.

    This strong performance is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the banking industry. Despite facing challenges such as low interest rates and regulatory changes, banks have managed to navigate these obstacles and deliver solid returns to investors.

    Some may argue that the success of banks is a result of favorable economic conditions, including low inflation and strong consumer spending. Others may point to the ongoing digital transformation within the industry, which has allowed banks to streamline operations and enhance customer experience.

    Regardless of the reasons behind their success, it is clear that banks are well-positioned to continue thriving in the coming years. Investors looking to capitalize on this trend may want to consider adding bank stocks to their portfolios.

    As always, it is important to conduct thorough research and seek professional advice before making any investment decisions. The banking sector may be performing well now, but market conditions can change rapidly. Stay informed, stay vigilant, and happy investing!

  • Volatility Index Surges, Reaching Two-Month High


    The India VIX index, a key measure of market volatility, has surged to a two-month high, signalling heightened investor uncertainty. On Tuesday, the index, often referred to as the ‘fear index,’ climbed to 17.45, its highest point since Nov. 2024 when the index surged to 18.67. This surge follows consecutive sessions of increases, marking a near 15% rise in 30 days.

    India VIX has been oscillating between 12 and 17 since August, reflecting growing unease among investors about the near-term outlook for the Nifty. As the index measures anticipated volatility over the next 30 days, a higher VIX typically suggests investor apprehension about large, unpredictable market moves, particularly on the downside.

    The India VIX is calculated based on the price of options contracts, which track how much investors expect an asset to fluctuate. A lower VIX often signals confidence and stability in the market, while a higher reading indicates fears of turbulence ahead.



    The Volatility Index (VIX) has surged to a two-month high, indicating increased uncertainty and potential market fluctuations ahead. This spike in volatility comes amid a backdrop of escalating geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainty, and concerns about the impact of inflation on the global economy.

    Investors are closely monitoring the VIX as a gauge of market sentiment and risk appetite. A higher VIX level typically signals heightened fear and uncertainty in the market, while a lower VIX level indicates greater confidence and stability.

    As the VIX reaches its highest level in two months, investors are bracing for potential market turbulence and increased volatility in the coming days and weeks. It is important for investors to stay informed, remain vigilant, and be prepared for sudden market shifts during this period of heightened uncertainty.

    Stay tuned for further updates on the VIX and its implications for the financial markets.

  • Nio expected to be included in HK’s Hang Seng Index, says CICC


    • ETFs tracking the Hang Seng Index currently stand at about $27.53 billion, according to CICC.
    • has been included in the Hang Seng Composite Index and the Hang Seng Technology Index since 2022.

    Nio (NYSE: NIO, HKG: 9866) is expected to be included in another Hong Kong stock index, which will allow it to receive some passive investment inflows, despite the weak performance of its shares.

    The Hang Seng Indexes Company Limited (HSI) will announce the results of its semi-annual review of the Hang Seng family of indexes after the trading hours on Friday, February 21, and will formally implement the adjustments on Monday, March 10, Chinese brokerage CICC said in a note today.

    The adjustment will involve the major flagship indices such as the Hang Seng Index, Hang Seng China Enterprises Index, Hang Seng Tech Index and Hang Seng Composite Index, analyst Liu Gang’s team said.

    In the adjustment of the Hang Seng Index, Nio is most likely to be included, followed by JD Logistics, Innovent Bio & Pop Mart, according to the team.

    The team said their calculations prioritized market capitalization, followed by other factors including the companies’ position in their industries.

    It should be noted, however, that history suggests that actual results may vary, as Innovent Bio and JD Logistics, for example, have ranked high in the past few forecasts but ultimately failed to be included, the team noted.

    As semi-annual deliberations are usually highly variable and the size of passive funds tracking the flagship index is large, potential constituent changes as well as fund flows are worth keeping an eye on, the team said.

    The current size of ETFs tracking the Hang Seng Index is about $27.53 billion, the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index about $5.41 billion and the Hang Seng Tech Index about $18.66 billion, the team’s calculations based on data from Bloomberg and Wind show.

    Nio was listed in Hong Kong on March 10, 2022 as a secondary listing under the ticker symbol 9866, trading in board lots of 10 class A ordinary shares.

    On May 20, 2022, HSI announced the results of its quarterly review and Nio was included in the Hang Seng Composite Index and the Hang Seng Technology Index, effective about a month later on June 13.

    The Hang Seng Index is one of the earliest stock market indices in Hong Kong, launched on November 24, 1969, and is the most important index reflecting the performance of the Hong Kong stock market.

    The Hang Seng Composite Index was established on October 3, 2001 and covers the top 95 percent of the total market capitalization of securities listed on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

    Nio’s stock performed weakly in 2024, declining about 53 percent for the full year in Hong Kong. The Hang Seng Index rose about 18 percent and the Hang Seng Composite Index rose about 16 percent in 2024.

    Chery to launch models using Nio’s battery swap tech in Q3



    Nio, the Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer, is expected to be included in Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index, according to CICC (China International Capital Corporation).

    This move comes as Nio continues to gain traction in the electric vehicle market, with its sleek designs and innovative technology capturing the attention of investors worldwide. Being included in the Hang Seng Index would further solidify Nio’s position as a key player in the industry and could potentially attract more investors to the company.

    CICC’s prediction highlights the growing importance of electric vehicles in the global automotive industry and the potential for Nio to become a major player in this space. Keep an eye on Nio as it continues to make waves in the market and potentially joins the prestigious Hang Seng Index.

    In the world of investing, it’s always important to consider the level of risk associated with different types of funds. While total market funds like VTI may seem like a safe bet for diversification, they may not provide the same level of protection from red days compared to more focused indexes like the S&P 500.

    During market downturns or periods of volatility, total market funds can be heavily impacted by the performance of smaller or underperforming companies within the fund. This can lead to greater fluctuations in the overall value of the fund, making it more susceptible to losses during red days.

    On the other hand, indexes like the S&P 500 are typically composed of larger, more stable companies that have a greater impact on the overall market. This can provide a level of protection during red days, as these companies are more likely to weather market downturns better than smaller or riskier companies.

    While total market funds like VTI can still be a valuable part of a diversified investment portfolio, investors should be aware of the potential risks associated with these funds during volatile market conditions. By understanding the differences between total market funds and more focused indexes like the S&P 500, investors can make more informed decisions about their investment strategy and risk tolerance.
