Galliano’s Latin Notes Ltd
Victor Galliano is an experienced equity banks analyst, having covered Latin America banks and non-bank financials for over 12 years, as well as more recently covering the Italian banks. He has worked in sell side equity research for 30 years in a career spanning Barclays, HSBC, BBVA LatInvest, Barings and NatWest.
The focus of the Galliano's Latin Notes Ltd product is to seek out mis-pricings in the market, on a bottom up basis and focused on long and short calls, in the LatAm and Southern European financials space. In addition, the product explores thematic research opportunities in the banking sector, including FinTech.
The investment style applied is generally value oriented, although Growth At Reasonable Price (GARP) strategies can also be used where appropriate. The aim is to develop more of a contrarian approach to investment research, looking to capitalise on overly sceptical or optimistic consensus views. In terms of valuation techniques, the focus is on PBV ratio to ROE, PE multiples and dividend yield, as well as the application of Gordon's Growth Model (GGM) and Sum of the Parts (SOTP) valuation.

Our clients have access to a wide range of diagnostic tools which are not included in the published research. We believe that our “sell discipline” is consistently powerful and effective.

In Memory
Investors RouteMap
Nick Dewhirst, Founder of Investors RouteMap, passed away in July 2013. A member of Euro IRP since joining the association in September 2010, Nick was an active supporter of our work, as well as an enthusiastic champion for independent research.
Before founding Investors RouteMap in 1998 Nick spent more than a quarter of a century in the City advising European institutional investors and individuals on foreign markets. During his career he held positions at a succession of leading investment banks. His last positions, before founding Investors RouteMap, were as Head of Equity Sales, London for Dresdner Bank and European SmallCap Coordinator with Kleinwort Benson.
Nick was not only well respected but much liked, and showed his support through his engagement, enthusiasm and energy, especially when attending our Member Events and Annual General Meetings. He will continue to be missed by the association and its members. We express our deepest sympathies to his family, who continue to maintain the website and the ethos of Nick’s work.
