After two years at the top of the return on assets (ROA) ranking, United National Corporation of the US has been knocked off its perch by Kazakhstan’s Jysan Bank, which did not even figure in last year’s top five in Asia-Pacific, excluding China and Japan.
Almaty-based Jysan Bank, owned by brokerage firm First Heartland Securities, reports an impressive 18.4% ROA, while United National saw a slight drop year-on-year to 12.4%. Ukraine’s PrivatBank is close on the latter’s heels, posting a 10.6% ROA.
