THIRD TEAM
Yi Wang Goldman Sachs (Asia)
Repeating in third place is Shanghai-based Yi Wang of Goldman Sachs (Asia). Like the first-teamer, she recommended Evergrande Real Estate Group, assuming coverage in February 2010 with a buy, as a bargain at HK$3.21. In May 2010, when the shares had slipped to HK$2.27, she added them to her conviction buy list and pounded the table on strong home-sales growth in central and western China. Through April the homebuilder’s stock leapt to HK$5.54. “She distinguishes between best-case and worst-case scenarios and consistently makes the right call,” asserts one admirer.
