WHY FINANCIALS

Financials have been our core focus since 2006, with expertise spanning the entire capital structure.

Since 2006, financials have been at the core of our expertise. Over nearly two decades, we have developed a deep understanding of the sector, enabling us to navigate its complexities with precision and insight. Our approach extends across the entire capital structure, from equity to debt to AT1 bonds, providing a holistic perspective that allows us to identify opportunities and mitigate risks effectively. Our financial sector expertise allows us to value global financial institutions against metrics that are often ignored, including regulatory changes, institutional complexity, leverage, volatility, and dispersion of returns. This historical focus has allowed us to build a track record of delivering value to clients, leveraging our deep industry knowledge, with a particular focus on subordinated debt and systemic financial institutions.

BANKS’ CAPITAL STRUCTURE

Navigating a complex industry

We believe that the global financial sector offers an abundant source of investment opportunities in the medium to long term given its size, diversity, and complexity.  Highly complex regulations and business models differ substantially from non-financial companies which raises barriers to entry from a research perspective, creating an edge for specialists over generalists. We believe that the global financial services industry offers attractive investment potentials.  Our team is able to find alpha opportunities in the complexities of the banks’ capital structures that are not seen or understood by generalists. Algebris is recognized for its contributions to the global regulatory oversight to the financial sector, which provides us with profound insight into the direction of financial sector regulation and its effect on bank capital across equity and credit. The increasing regulatory oversight in the past decade has resulted in more transparency into the bank balance sheets for G-SIFI. Because regulation has shaped the financial subordinated debt market since the 2008 financial crisis, active participation in the regulatory debate has been key to our success in the asset class. Our financial sector expertise allows us to value global financial institutions against metrics that are often ignored, including regulatory changes, institutional complexity, leverage, volatility, and dispersion of returns.
