MP Inderjit - Our Bank Investments should not be seen as losses.

Confuseous

“If we consider a longer-term horizon, then some of the issues like what UBS faces today should not be seen as failed investments,” said Inderjit Singh, a member of Parliament for the ruling People’s Action Party, and chief executive officer of Infiniti Solution Pte, a provider of services to chipmakers.

“However, from a Singapore Inc. perspective, with the two sovereign wealth funds not coordinating, I feel they have overinvested in the financial sector.”

Financial services companies made up 36 percent of Temasek’s portfolio as of March. It is the biggest investor in lenders including Standard Chartered Plc (STAN), the British bank that earns most of its profit in Asia, and Singapore’s DBS Group Holdings Ltd. (DBS) It also owns stakes in China Construction Bank Corp. and India’s ICICI Bank Ltd.

Have to agree with Inderjit, from a short-term perspective, the UBS investment failed miserably!

that's how banks like Citibank do it too.........


if a joker mortgage his house to Citibank for 500,000 at height of property boom..........


that house will be in Citibank's books as 500,000...........even when it drops by half or more in property bust......
