The Paragon Report Provides Equity Research on The Bank of Nova Scotia & Bank of Montreal
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 03/09/12 -- Despite rocky share price performances for some of the country's money center banks, Canada's financial sector continues to be ranked as one of the world's safest. Six of Canada's banks rank among the top 25 most credit worthy banks in the most recent list compiled by Global Finance Magazine. The Paragon Report examines the outlook for companies in Canada's Banking Sector and provides stock research on The Bank of Nova Scotia (NYSE: BNS) (TSX: BNS) and Bank of Montreal (NYSE: BMO) (TSX: BMO).

London-based BrandFinance, which releases an annual bank brand survey, said four Canadian banks were among the five global bank brands which gained the most value last year. The consultancy put Toronto-Dominion Bank second, with year-on-year brand value growth of $1.9 billion, followed by Bank of Nova Scotia, Royal, and BMO. The four banks trailed only American Express.
With Canadian banks representing stability, the country's financial firms believe the strength of the Canadian brand can help them close foreign expansion deals and win over Europeans and Americans who have lost faith in local lenders, Reuters reports.
