Every company has the present about the performance. Those companies have
their strength, weakness, opportunity and threat. CIMB Group Holding BHD also has
their own SWOT analysis for their company.
2.1 Strengths
Diversified business mix
CIMB Group operates the business across ASEAN by provides consumer,
investment, Islamic and private banking product and services worldwide (CIMB
Business, 2011). In addition this company also offers asset management, wealth
management, insurance product and services, foreign exchange, engage in the fund
management and so on.
This business was operate under several corporate entities that include CIMB
Investment Bank, CIMB Bank, CIMB Islamic, CIMB Niaga, CIMB Securities International
and CIMB Thai (CIMB, Our business, 2011). The mixed business that provide by CIMB
Group is the strength of this Malaysian Banking Company.
Higher returns
This company has the positive performance on the profit in year 2011. The profit
percentage was increase 44.49% from 2009 until 2011. CIMB Group reported a record
net profit of RM 4,031 billion for year 2011, which is increase 15.17% from 2010 net
profit (Annual Report, 2011).
This banking company has the higher return every year from 2008 until today,
best on the income statement. Positive performance on the return is the strength of this
company.
2.2 Weaknesses

Student ID Number: 1130873/1
Module Subject: Marketing Essentials
Under performance of GAM &Insurance & Takaful
CIMB Group’s fund management business was managing by Group Asset
Management (GAM). GAM manages both conventional and Shariah-compliant
institutional and retail funds over a wide range of asset classes and geographies (Our
Businesses, CIMB Group, 2011).
The asset management was operated by CIMB-Principal Asset Management,
CIMB-Principal Islamic Asset Management, CIMB Wealth Advisors (CWA), CIMB-
Mapletree Management, CIMB Trust Capital Advisors, Cap Asia, and CIMB Private
Equity and Venture Capital (PEVC).
Meanwhile, all the CIMB Group insurance and Takaful joint ventures and the
Development of Bancassarance were managed by Insurance and Takaful Group (CIMB
Group, Business Description, 2011). Managed by other party is the weakness of CIMB
Group.
Rise in None Performing loans & loan loss provision
Rise in the non-performing loans and loan loss provision also the disadvantage
of this company. The non-performing loan ratio to an all-time low of 2.0% from the 2.3%
in 3Q09, while loss coverage to 90.85 from the b=86.7% in the previous quarter 2011
(investment research, 2011). That mean the all-time for the non-performing loan was
increase. So this is the weakness for the CIMB Group.
The rises of the non performing loan effect the provision that have. Because of
the increasing of the value, the provision was effected. So that can loss the provision
they have for loans. We see this as weakness for the CIMB Group.
2.3 Opportunities

Student ID Number: 1130873/1
Module Subject: Marketing Essentials
Growing Global Islamic Finance market
CIMB Group has the opportunity to growing the global Islamic finance market.
This is because the CIMB Islamic is the main branding that there have. This group have
a lot business consists of Shariah advisory, debt market and so on. CIMB Group
Business has the higher requirement from the banking market and higher user in
Islamic Banking management (About us, 2011)
CIMB Group needs to change the perception to be global market especially for
the Islamic Finance market. This opportunity must be used to be a strong Company.
High investment opportunity
CIMB Group has the opportunity to invest their product and service especially in
Sri Lanka. This economy country is very good that the GDP growth of 4.8% over the
past 30 years despite the tolls of market. In the last 5 years, GDP per capita has
doubled to US$2863 from US$1244 in 2005- more than twice that India and Pakistan,
and four times that of Bangladesh (CIMB Group, Plan 21 December 2011)
CIMB Group can provide the brands they have like CIMB Islamic, CIMB
investment bank and CIMB bank that provide the financial management (personal and
corporate) and so on that needed from the consumer and customer in Sri Lanka.
2.4 Threats

Global economic imbalances
The imbalance of economic global also affected the CIMB Group performance in
future. By seeing the future and the present economic situation, we can see that global
economic was going down because off the recession in 2008 until 2010 (Economic
Global Report, 2011). This problem effected the economic global even though America,
Europe, and another strong economic also affected.
As a growing countries Malaysia also effected and facing the problem. So, the
imbalances of global economic is a threat of the all company accept CIMB Group. In
this situation this group must know to maintain their performance.
Stiff competition
In this banking term, CIMB Group has a stiff competition. This company has their
own competitor like Malayan Banking BHD, Public Banking BHD and so on. But this is
the most completive competitor that CIMB group need to match.
Even though CIMB Group is a largest banking company, there has need to see
this competitor. This is because the competitors have their own planning to be a good
banking company in the future. In the banking industries, CIMB Group has stiff
competition
