Chinese EV Maker BYD Partners With Ayvens To Boost Presence In Europe

In a move that could solidify its status as Europe&#8217;s most valuable startup, Revolut, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/revolut">UK-based fintech</a> major, is reportedly eyeing a valuation of over $40 billion in an employee share sale.
What Happened: Revolut, which is backed by SoftBank Group Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>), is working with Morgan Stanley to sell approximately $500 million worth of existing shares, including those owned by employees, Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/2e5c1b4e-4e6f-11e5-b029-b9d50a74fd14">reported</a>, citing three people with knowledge of the plans.
The proposed valuation would represent a 21% increase from Revolut&#8217;s $33 billion valuation in its 2021 fundraising round. This would also place Revolut&#8217;s market capitalization on par with that of Lloyds Banking Group Plc. and above that of NatWest and Société Générale SA.
Despite the challenging market for European fintech companies over the past two years, Revolut&#8217;s ambitious target, if achieved, would be a remarkable feat. Other prominent fintechs like Klarna have seen their valuations plummet, raising concerns about the sector&#8217;s stability.

Revolut&#8217;s application for a UK banking license, which is crucial for the company to expand its lending and profit in its primary market, has been pending for over three years. This, coupled with other issues, has led to uncertainty about the company&#8217;s future.
Revolut did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.
Why It Matters: Revolut&#8217;s proposed valuation comes amid a series of strategic moves. Earlier this month, the company partnered with GTN to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/fintech/24/06/39385145/gtn-revolut-partner-to-launch-bond-trading-for-customers-in-europe">launch bond trading for European customers</a>. This move was seen as a significant step in Revolut&#8217;s mission to build an all-in-one investment platform.
However, Revolut&#8217;s journey has not been without its challenges. In May 2023, the company&#8217;s application for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/05/32481013/revoluts-application-for-a-uk-banking-license-may-be-rejected">UK banking license was under scrutiny</a> after its auditor, BDO, cast doubt on its 2021 revenue numbers. This raised concerns about the accuracy of the company&#8217;s financial reporting.
Despite these challenges, Revolut has continued to expand its offerings. In February 2023, the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/02/30742558/revolut-launches-crypto-staking-soft-launch-begins-in-uk-and-eea-report">launched cryptocurrency staking</a> in the UK and the European Economic Area, allowing users to earn income on their crypto assets.

SoftBank-Backed Fintech Giant Revolut Eyes Valuation Of Over $40B In Employee Share Sale: Report

European financial markets are under pressure as investors react to the results of the European Parliament elections <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39248545/frances-emmanuel-macrons-call-for-snap-election-following-eu-election-setback-spooked-market-says-ex">held over the weekend</a>.
The elections, which determined the 720 members of the block&#8217;s parliament, have led to notable shifts in political <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/europe">power across several key countries.</a>
What Happened: A market-friendly coalition composed of the center-right European People's Party (EPP), the center-left Socialists and Democrats (S&amp;D), and the liberal Renew group retain the majority of seats.
But far-right parties made substantial gains.
In both France and Germany, far-right parties emerged as significant contenders, securing first and second preferences among voters, respectively.
In France, Marine Le Pen&#8216;s far-right National Rally party garnered 31.4% of the votes, more than doubling the results of President Macron&#8217;s centrist alliance. 
In a surprising move, President Emmanuel Macron called for snap elections on Sunday night. These elections, set for June 30 and July 7, come just before France hosts the Olympic Games from July 26 to Aug. 11.
In Germany, Chancellor Olaf Scholz&#8216;s Social Democratic Party (SPD) faced its worst performance in an election, securing only 14% of the votes and falling to third place behind the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), which received 16%.
In Italy, the far-right Brothers of Italy party, led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, solidified its position by obtaining 29% of the votes. This result doubled the party&#8217;s performance in the 2019 European Parliamentary elections and surpassed its 2022 national election results.
Why it Matters: Europe is at a crucial juncture, requiring strong cohesion among member countries on key issues such as the green transition, technological development to bridge the gap with the United States and China, and support for Ukraine.
Although the current coalition holds a majority, the shift in power towards the right could lead to significant challenges. If far-right parties unify their propositions, they could form a strong opposition, potentially complicating the passage of critical legislation. 
On a national level, France&#8217;s snap election announcement adds to the uncertainty, with Marine Le Pen&#8217;s party showing increased strength over President Macron&#8217;s centrist party. In Germany, the major defeat of the ruling party could lead to calls for snap elections, further complicating the political landscape.
Market reactions: The euro, as tracked by the Invesco CurrencyShares Euro Currency Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXE#NYSE">FXE</a>), fell by 0.5% against the US dollar at 08:30 a.m. in New York. 
Coupled with Friday&#8217;s 0.8% loss, this marks the worst two-day performance since March 2023. European stocks, broadly tracked by the iShares MSCI Eurozone ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EZU#NYSE">EZU</a>), were down 0.8%.
French equities, as tracked by the iShares MSCI France Index Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWQ#NYSE">EWQ</a>), were the worst performers of the day, down 1.5%, reflecting the political risks associated with the snap elections, with major banks such as Societe Generale (OTCPK: SCGLY) and BNP Paribas (OTCPK: BNPQY) plummeting 7.8% and 4.9%, respectively.

Soci&eacute;t&eacute; G&eacute;n&eacute;rale (OTCMKTS: SCGLY) is launching a stablecoin.
What Happened The French bank will be the first major financial institution to offer digital assets tracking the price of fiat currencies to investors.
Soci&eacute;t&eacute; G&eacute;n&eacute;rale&nbsp;said that EUR CoinVertible would be fully backed by euros.
&ldquo;The crypto ecosystem is highly concentrated on a few existing stablecoins, 90% denominated in US dollars&thinsp;.&thinsp;.&thinsp;.&thinsp;we definitely think that there is a place for a bank in this field and there is a place for a euro [denominated] stablecoin,&rdquo; chief executive of SocGen Forge, the bank&rsquo;s digital assets unit, Jean-Marc Stenger commented as Financial Times reported.
The stablecoin market worth $128.8 billion, as of Dec.6, 2023 (based on CoinMarketCap data), has major players like Tether and Circle. &nbsp;

Why It Matters: Contrasting the JPMCoin from JPMorgan Chase, which is available only to a group of institutional clients, SocGen&rsquo;s stablecoin will be widely available for trading with its listing and will also be aligned with the European Union&rsquo;s flagship regulation, MiCA rules. MiCA will come into effect in 2024.
Stenger sees the stablecoin as being used for settling trades in digital bonds, funds, and other assets amid traditional financial institutions exploring digital ledgers.
Stenger also adds that token holders will have no exposure risk to the bank itself and will have a direct correlation to the collateral asset of the stablecoin. The euros will be held in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/setting-up-a-trust/">trust</a> managed by a third party.&nbsp;

SocGen Becomes First Major Bank To Back Euro Stablecoin On Crypto Exchange Bitstamp

Societe Generale (OTCMKTS: SCGLY) announced the issuance of its first-ever digital green bond on the Ethereum public blockchain in the form of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto">a Security Token.</a>
What Happened: SG-Forge, Soci&eacute;t&eacute;&rsquo;s subsidiary, <a href="http://www.societegenerale.com/en/news/press-release/first-inaugural-digital-green-bond-public-blockchain#_ftn1">registered </a>the bond worth around $11 million, and it went live on Nov. 30, 2023. With a maturity of three years, the bond&rsquo;s green status implies net proceeds to be used for financing or refinancing products and companies classified under the ESG category.
The tokens have been fully subscribed through a private placement by two top-tier institutional investors, AXA Investment Managers and Generali Investments.
AXA acquired and spent &euro;5 million worth of Soci&eacute;t&eacute; G&eacute;n&eacute;rale&rsquo;s euro-denominated ERC-20 stablecoin called EUR CoinVertible (EURCV). This stablecoin was launched in April 2023.
Ethereum was chosen as the blockchain boasts relatively low greenhouse gas emissions. Soci&eacute;t&eacute; G&eacute;n&eacute;rale&rsquo;s stablecoin was also launched on the Ethereum blockchain.
Why It Matters: The green bond&rsquo;s digital infrastructure enables all-time access to the data on its carbon footprint through the smart contract. It also ensures transparency, better fluidity, and high speed in transactions and settlements.
The bond also has a technical option for investors to settle securities on-chain through the EUR CoinVertible, a euro-pegged stablecoin.&nbsp;
Amid&nbsp;Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) gaining prevalence globally, the third-largest bank in France said, &ldquo;While CBDC solutions are being experimented with, this panel of settlement methods demonstrates the large capabilities of SG-FORGE in providing a full spectrum of on-chain services.&rdquo;

Citigroup Inc&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/c#NYSE">C</a>) is reportedly poised to venture into direct lending, aiming to debut this new strategy by early January, reflecting a broader trend among banks seeking to tap into the burgeoning $1.6 trillion private credit market.
The initiative aims to complement Citigroup&#39;s existing broad syndicated leveraged finance business.

The bank&#39;s initiative aligns with recent industry shifts, following similar steps taken by major players like&nbsp;Wells Fargo &amp; Co&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wfc#NYSE">WFC</a>),&nbsp;Barclays Plc&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bcs#NYSE">BCS</a>), and&nbsp;Societe Generale SA&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/scgly#OTC">SCGLY</a>).
These financial institutions are all seeking entry into the swiftly expanding realm of private debt, disrupting traditional avenues for financing by offering alternatives to high-yield bonds and leveraged loans.
The strategic move by Citigroup is poised to offer potential borrowers a spectrum of&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-options-to-buy-this-week/" style="background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; color:#4a6ee0" target="_blank">options</a>, including high-yield bonds, leveraged loans, or private credit, thereby catering to the diverse needs of companies or their private equity owners. This preparedness reportedly aims to align with an anticipated surge in buyout deals, as private equity firms eventually plan to divest existing portfolio companies to reimburse investors.

Citigroup Eyes New Private Credit Strategy Next Year: Report

Nomura (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nmr#NYSE">NMR</a>), a Japan-headquartered global financial services group, announced its cryptocurrency unit&nbsp;Laser Digital is likely to take a longer period to report profitability levels.
This is due to many factors like shrinking volumes, narrowing activity&nbsp;and changing needs of regulators in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto" style="color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline">crypto space</a>.
Laser Digital started in September 2022 and was targeted to turn profitable by 2024. While the company has 70 employees currently, it plans to expand the team by up to 20 more over a period. It also wants&nbsp;to establish a Tokyo office with four to six professionals to provide support to its global trading activities.

Post-launch of Laser Digital, the crypto market was dented by the FTX collapse which led to a major market correction.&nbsp;More than $2 trillion was washed out from the cryptocurrency market causing major liquidity crunch and regulatory crackdowns worldwide.

CEO Analyses Market Sentiment: CEO Jez Mohideen is also very positive about the interest of big financial companies in the crypto space. He added, &ldquo;More institutions and institutional projects coming in despite the market turmoil gives me confidence. The future is brighter, but it may take longer.&rdquo;
He specifically mentioned&nbsp;BlackRock Inc.&rsquo;s (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/blk#NYSE">BLK</a>) application for a&nbsp;Bitcoin ETF, which clearly helped the asset class move into the mainstream after the asset manager swung&nbsp;negative opinion to positive about cryptocurrencies. Societe Generale SA (OTCMKTS: SCGLY) also received France&rsquo;s first crypto license in July. &nbsp;
Laser Digital nabbed a license to conduct operations in Dubai which will allow a gradual introduction of its three core business segments: trading, asset management&nbsp;and venture capital in the region. Also, Komainu secured an operating license from Dubai&#39;s Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA).

HSBC has had its headquarters in Canary Wharf since 2002.
The bank looks to relocate to its new office in late 2026, zeroing in on Panorama St Paul&rsquo;s in the City of London, a building formerly an office for telecoms group BT redeveloped by Orion Capital Managers, Financial Times&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.ft.com/content/e230a7de-ee30-4c19-8658-028cb2640fa5" style="background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; color:#4a6ee0" target="_blank">cites</a>&nbsp;an internal memo.

HSBC said the move to a smaller, more central office would help it meet its net zero commitments and allow for flexible working. Qatar Investment Authority owns its current tower, which also co-owns Canary Wharf.

In 2022, HSBC cut 110 support staff in Switzerland and scaled back its office space in Geneva due to clients withdrawing money from its private bank. It has also relocated its U.S. headquarters to a new Tishman Speyer-developed tower on the west side of Manhattan.
In 2021, HSBC CEO Noel Quinn ordered the conversion of the 42nd executive floor of the company&#39;s skyscraper in the east London into client meeting rooms and collaborative spaces.&nbsp;
HSBC joined companies, including law firm Clifford Chance, and&nbsp;Societe Generale&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/scgly#OTC">SCGLY</a>), looking to downsize to more central offices to reduce their carbon footprint and adapt to hybrid working.
Office vacancies have risen in London from 5% in March to 9% in May, according to CoStar. However, they are exceptionally high in Canary Wharf, which had a vacancy rate of more than 10% in May.
Price Action:&nbsp;HSBC shares traded lower by 0.13% at $38.17 premarket on the last check Monday.

JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) is taking the lead, recruiting for more AI positions than any other bank; it advertised 3,651 AI-related roles from February through April, Bloomberg said, citing data from Evident.

In an &#8220;AI arms race,&#8221; as Evident&#8217;s CEO Alexandra Mousavizadeh described, deep value lies in the potential for AI to enhance efficiency in mundane tasks, streamline complex analysis and expedite risk modeling.
Deutsche is already implementing deep learning to assess if private banking clients are overinvested in specific assets and match them with appropriate financial products.
AI integration isn&#8217;t limited to traditional banks, or banks at all for that matter. Fintech companies are leveraging AI, with Klarna offering its employees a ChatGPT-4 account to experiment with the tech.
Morgan Stanley uses AI to interpret Federal Reserve communications, helping predict monetary policy shifts, the report said. Similarly, JPMorgan is planning a ChatGPT-like service to assist investors with equity selection.
AI is also integrating with regulatory compliance. Wells Fargo &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) uses large language models to determine what information clients must report to regulators, and Societe Generale SA (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCGLY#OTC">SCGLY</a>) is using chatbots and AI to detect and prevent fraud and money laundering.
From risk assessment to portfolio management, compliance and fraud detection, AI is emerging as a game-changer, promising to boost efficiency and accuracy in decision-making. The start of what some describe as an &#8220;AI arms race&#8221; signals a change that&#8217;s likely to reshape the industry in the near future.

Wall Street Banks Are Embracing AI: Here's What They're Up To

Credit Suisse Group Inc&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cs#NYSE">CS</a>) has requested the&nbsp;Swiss National Bank&nbsp;to show support towards the battered bank after losing almost 30% of its stock value, sparking a broader sell-off in European and U.S. bank stocks.
Credit Suisse also asked for a similar response from Finma, the Swiss regulator.
Saudi National Bank&nbsp;stated that it would not buy additional shares in Credit Suisse, citing that regulatory guidelines do&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/03/31357630/credit-suisse-plunges-hard-putting-market-rally-at-risk-whats-going-on-with-the-swiss-bank" style="color:#4a6ee0; background:transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt" target="_blank">not allow it to invest over 10% of an entity</a>.&nbsp;

Separately, the European Central Bank has asked EU lenders to disclose their exposures to the Swiss lender, a person familiar with the matter told the Financial Times.

Top News In Fintech And Beyond For June 8, 2022

The regulated blockchain infrastructure platform Paxos and State Street Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/stt#NYSE">STT</a>) launched a partnership on services integrations in May.&nbsp;
As part of a pilot, State Street simulated the settlement and custody of shares on Paxos&rsquo; platform and asset movements with Credit Suisse Group AG (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cs#NYSE">CS</a>).
At its core, the development validates how blockchains can reduce steps and eliminate frictions in traditional finance. Benzinga spoke with STT&rsquo;s head of Americas Digital Fund Administration and Tokenization Jay Biancamano to learn more.
The following text was edited for clarity and concision.
Q: Hey Jay, nice to speak with you. Tell me a little bit about yourself.
Jay Biancamano: I&rsquo;ve been at STT for nearly five years. Prior, I consulted Coin Center, which actually built one of the first exchanges that were subsequently sold to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/kraken-review/">Kraken</a>.
At its core, my background is in building products and services that take technology and change the industry.
I was at Liquidnet and ITG, where we were rolling out new products that either displaced or created new platforms for firms to trade equities and other instruments.
At STT, what do you focus on?
These new technologies &mdash;&nbsp;crypto &mdash;&nbsp;and how they can change the industry.
In digital assets, everything begins and ends with custody. In the traditional world, that&rsquo;s not really how it works. It starts with the issuance and everything ends with custody.
So, to compete in the digital world, you have to be a custodian and&nbsp;then&nbsp;expand to other businesses.
STT has nearly $50 trillion in assets under custody. Talk about why it makes sense for an institution of that size to explore digital?
As cool as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/is-ethereum-a-good-investment/">Ethereum</a> (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) are, it is a question of whether or not that technology can actually transform the industry.
If you look back into history, we went through the age of de-materialization, from tangible assets into electronic ledgers, allowing us to take products and services and scale them up.
Now, digital takes products and services away from the industry as blockchains &mdash;&nbsp;which help in validating ownership and transferring value &mdash;&nbsp;democratize and disintermediate.
Over the years I&rsquo;ve been at STT, we&rsquo;ve been experimenting and exploring use cases around collateral. We think about taking processes that are inefficient or have a lot of friction and risk, and we look to eliminate them.
When we spoke to Paxos in late 2020, the idea was interesting but STT wasn&rsquo;t a big equity house like Societe Generale SA (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/scgly#OTC">SCGLY</a>) and Nomura Inc&rsquo;s (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nmr#NYSE">NMR</a>) Instinet.
So, we asked ourselves: &ldquo;How can we use this technology to make it more beneficial to the buy-side, and do so in a way that allows us to have a front-to-back strategy?&rdquo;
After a lot of meetings, we were able to create this platform for clients to actually buy and sell securities using tokenization and do so with T+0 settlement.
Why are tokenization and T+0 relevant?
Beyond cost savings, accelerated settlements minimize risk and error in reconciliation, as well as the friction of having to wait multiple days to receive cash and deliver securities.
Additionally, we can use the same technology to do other things like fractionalization or issuing and settling other asset classes on a blockchain.
Overall, it was important for us to replicate the purchase and sale of equity, do an accelerated settlement, and prove out that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-blockchain-penny-stocks/">blockchain</a> could be pushed to the buy-side.
Why does this do for your clients and the people you do business with?
If I&rsquo;m able to trade and settle and receive cash almost immediately, I don&rsquo;t have to take a loan. The broker doesn&rsquo;t have to provide the cash around that because the owner of the securities has them immediately and now they can move on to their next idea.
This can help with avoiding issues around corporate actions, which require a lot of reconciliation, especially when something happens during a dividend period.
That same model, too, can be applied to fixed income, commodities, private equity and debt, centralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and homes.
It can take months to settle a house. Half of that&rsquo;s validating who owns the house. Think about it. Why do we have title searches if everything can be done on a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-blockchain-penny-stocks/">blockchain</a>?
So, you&rsquo;re crunching the time it takes to move between asset classes. If I&rsquo;m a manager, and I monetize insurance against equity exposure I have, I don&rsquo;t have to wait for days to rotate at least some of that payoff into risk. Is this correct?
That&rsquo;s exactly the way it all works. That opportunity cost is preeminent.
Think about transitions.
If you have a large pension plan and they want to move from one manager to the next, all of the positions between those portfolios are different. They trade and settle disparately.
If everything is tokenized&nbsp;on a blockchain&nbsp;you could do that in minutes, if there is liquidity.
Haven&rsquo;t you worked with other market participants on these technologies?
Yes. We&rsquo;ve done a couple of proofs of concept with Symbiont and Vanguard.
We actually looked at CSAs (credit support annexure) &mdash;&nbsp;collateral and asset-backed securities &mdash;&nbsp;and the issuance of a private placement on a blockchain.
What does it take to make all this more mainstream? How does this go from proof of concept to practice?
I work with four people.&nbsp;The entire team is about 25 to 30 at STT, and we&rsquo;re looking at these products and services, and thinking about expanding them. We pontificate and work with clients.
Ultimately, though, scalability is the issue and you&rsquo;re always thinking about how things fit into your legacy systems because STT is a tectonic plate. What we have to do is slowly transition the market and influence the marketplace.
We&rsquo;re open, though, to having conversations. We have four or five of those meetings a week with different technology providers, but we have a tangible business.
It&rsquo;s going to be a very interesting three or four next years.

Morning Brief: Top Financial Stories Dominating on Monday, May 23

A single portfolio manager at&nbsp;Capital Group&nbsp;caused an &euro;8 billion sell-off of European bank stocks this year following the Ukraine crisis and global recession concerns,&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.ft.com/content/57d318ca-19bd-44f5-b7b3-ca25f9ec7270" style="color:#4a6ee0; background:transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt" target="_blank">the Financial Times reports</a>.&nbsp;
Capital, until recently, had been one of the few active investors backing European bank stocks, which had been marred after a decade of depressed profitability, misconduct scandals, and market share losses as they restructured after the financial crisis.&nbsp;
Capital had built up large, top-five stakes in lenders, including&nbsp;Barclays PLC&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bcs#NYSE">BCS</a>),&nbsp;Deutsche Bank&nbsp;(NYSE:&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/db#NYSE" style="color:#4a6ee0; background:transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt" target="_blank">DB</a>),&nbsp;Commerzbank AG&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/crzby#OTC">CRZBY</a>),&nbsp;Societe Generale&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/scgly#OTC">SCGLY</a>), UniCredit, Santander,&nbsp;BNP Paribas&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bnpzy#OTC">BNPZY</a>), and&nbsp;UBS Group AG&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ubs#NYSE">UBS</a>).
The drop in the European Stoxx and FTSE bank benchmark indices by 20% and 14% restored the belief in investors that European banks were inherently undervalued.
Portfolio manager Nick Grace had earned good returns as the global economy recovered from the initial shock of Covid-19, and central banks started to raise rates meaningfully for the first time in a decade.&nbsp;
Grace bet that European lenders were undervalued and traded at an unfairly steep discount to the book value of their assets and were poised to generate billions more in profits as interest rates rose, improving loan margins.&nbsp;
Grace and other managers hoped that a long-awaited consolidation would generate value through cross-border and domestic mergers.&nbsp;
But concerns over rising inflation and falling growth sparked by Russia&rsquo;s invasion of Ukraine pushed Grace and some of his fellow Capital managers to sell &euro;8.1 billion of those banks&rsquo; shares.
