Buy EFG Hermes GDRs

When CIB’s GDR window was open, high investor demand on local shares to transfer into the GDR as a profit repatriation mechanism lifted local share price and pressured GDR price. While the GDR window was open, it failed to mirror the solid performance witnessed by the local share. Once the GDR window closed, the stock re-rated massively. We believe that the same will happen with EFG Hermes GDR within a month or less, depending on when devaluation would happen and / or restrictions on repatriation of profits ease, or the GDR conversion limit is reached. Tap here for the full note.
