		<description><![CDATA[The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) is working seriously on its acquisition and global expansion strategies. Last week, the company announced that it is planning to purchase Ariel Reinsurance’s Bermuda-based insurance and reinsurance operations from Ariel Holdings Ltd. The terms of this deal were undisclosed; however, it is expected to close on April 1, 2012. In January, Goldman reported 67% fall in 2011 earnings compared to the prior year, and has targeted approximately $1.4 billion in run-rate compensation and non-compensation expense reductions through a combination of declines in total staff and planned expenditures. The firm is trying to recoup the losses it has incurred by boosting its revenues. Founded in 2005, Ariel Holdings Ltd. provides a wide range of property and casualty insurance and reinsurance products to companies and policyholders ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Foreign banks have been facing difficulties non-stop since the latest financial crisis, which triggered off as a credit issue in the sub-prime enclave of the U.S. mortgage market in mid-2007, and spilled all over the globe. The latest deterrents –– nagging macroeconomic issues, the European sovereign debt crisis in particular, and regulatory pressure –– also resulted in the sector’s latest under-performance. Moreover, the upcoming quarters look even worse with several negatives like asset-quality troubles, weak revenue growth, steeper costs and weak loan demand. But thanks to the worldwide regulatory reform, the sector has at least entered a transformation phase. Needless to mention, a change is yet to be felt. The sector entered 2012 with a lot less momentum than anticipated. Rising concerns related to funding and limited access to market ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Thursday, Financial Times reported that HSBC Holdings Plc (HBC) is planning to sell its Losango consumer finance unit in Brazil, in yet another attempt to shed its non-core assets and improve efficiency. Presently, HSBC’s Losango unit has nearly 20 million clients and controls about 20% of the market share in Brazil’s consumer loan segment. Hence, some of the local banks interested in acquiring the HSBC unit include Banco Bradesco S.A. (BBD), Itau Unibanco Holding S.A. (ITUB) and Banco Santander Brasil, the local unit of Spanish bank. HSBC had acquired Losango in 2003 as a part of the agreement to buy Lloyds Banking Group Plc’s (LYG) Brazilian assets. The company’s main strategy is to focus in more profitable areas in Brazil and South America that include investment and commercial banking ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Backed by worldwide regulatory reform, the global banking industry is currently going through a transformation phase. Though the growth potential of some non-U.S. banks could be subdued due to higher reserve requirements, increased property taxes and strict lending limits as part of the regulatory overhaul, greater transparency in regulation could strengthen the fundamentals of many banks. Moreover, it is expected to create a less risky lane for the overall industry. Since 2010, the banking sector has been recovering at a moderate pace from the latest financial crisis that started as a credit issue in the subprime enclave of the U.S. mortgage market in mid-2007 and spilled all over the globe.

		<description><![CDATA[Europe stress-test results are out and only seven banks were found to be incapable of enduring another recession. However, no major banks have failed the test. The findings of the stress test that covered around 91 banks &#8212; accounting for 65% of the banking market in Europe and approximately 50% of the market share in each member country &#8212; were declared last Friday in an effort to restore the transparency and reliability of the European banking system following the debt crisis in Greece. Europe’s biggest banks, such as Barclays Plc. (BCS), HSBC Holdings Plc. (HBC), Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc. (RBS) and Lloyds Banking Group Plc. (LYG) have all passed the test. Banco Santander SA (STD) and Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA (BBVA) of Spain, ING Group, N.V. (ING) ]]></description>

However, we believe that the worst of the global financial crisis is behind us. Although non-U.S. banks are still dealing with liquidity and confidence challenges, governments have taken several steps to alleviate the sector, as banks are the lifeblood of the economy. Though the industry is in the process of adopting tougher measures to help prevent a recurrence of the global financial crisis and restore public confidence, there remain lingering concerns. However, we believe it would be a perfect time to get involved with non-U.S. bank stocks for long-term investments, as valuations are now comparatively cheaper. Investors ]]></description>
