On October 26th, “China's Macroeconomic Trends and Investment Strategy Seminar cum Signing Ceremony”, co-sponsored by IB and Industrial Research Company, one of IB’s subsidiaries, was staged in Shanghai. Industrial Research Company inked strategic cooperation agreements with 9 small and medium-sized banks on the seminar, rendering professional and profound research “brain trust” service to the above banks. These agreements marks that IB made further breakthroughs in serving institutional field, and that Industrial Research started to explore market-oriented development.
It is reported that Industrial Research will provide professional research report and regular telephone conference services covering macro research, industry credit and financial projects, and investment advisory services including credit debt credit risk consultation, quantitative strategy and product design, pricing and risk management plan design, as well as roadshow/training services based on banks’ needs.
This was the first time Industrial Research signed service agreements with external bank clients. "These agreements witnessed that Industrial Research made an active exploration to market-oriented development while providing high-quality and shared research support for IB and its members," said Chen Xinjian, Vice President of IB.
Industrial Research is the first and only professional research institution in China's banking industry that was established by way of a company and runs independently through market mechanism. Faced with complex macroeconomic situation and market volatility, commercial banks’ research demands in macro economy, policy trend, analysis on asset liability trend, large-scale asset allocation strategy, credit risk control and other aspects become increasingly prominent. "We know more about the needs of bank clients. Regardless of what we research into, how we display them and the final product, we can best meet the needs of bank clients.” Chen Xinjian is confident about the capacity of Industrial Research to serve bank financial institutions.
Industrial Research Company has a wide range of research covering macro economy, industry credit, financial projects and data analysis, and is forming strategy research sectors including equity strategy, fixed income strategy and overseas investment strategy.
Comprehensive financial services for small and medium-sized banks have been one of the characteristics of IB’s differentiated operation. As of now, IB’s interbank platform signed 878 cooperative banks, covering eight service sectors including payment and settlement, wealth management, science and technology output, training and exchanges, and optimization of asset liability structure. Its comprehensive research services toward small and medium-sized banks enrich ways of cooperation between IB and horizontal banks, and services on interbank platform will cater to the actual needs of the transformation and development of small and medium-sized banks.
