NEW YORK, June 12, 2000 (PRIMEZONE) -- Four leading analysts and top management from thirty-two sector firms examine the Business Services sector in the latest issue of The Wall Street Transcript (212/952-7433) or http://www.twst.com/info/info110.htm
In a vital review of this sector for investors and industry professionals, this valuable 142-page Special Issue features:
1) Canadian Mutual Funds & Financial Services - In an in-depth (5,000 words) Analyst Interview, Kevin Choquette, a Director, & Michele Weise, an analyst, both with Scotia Capital Markets, discuss the outlook for the sector, including the banking system differences between Canada and the US, investing approaches to mutual funds, interest rate outlook, and share specific stock recommendations.
Choquette gives his take on potential merger partners. "The other combination would be Royal (NYSE:RY) and Bank of Montreal (NYSE:BMO), which was proposed and turned down by the government in 1998. Royal Bank's US strategy would be given a major boost with this combination, as Bank of Montreal's wholly owned subsidiary Harris Bank would be key for Royal Bank's US presence. These mergers are expected to be very accretive to earnings, especially given the benefits of an in-market merger in a concentrated market."
