INTERNATIONAL -- ASIAN BUSINESS Shinsei: A Report Card ASSETS AND PROFITS $120 billion in assets, fairly strong capital base, and profits that are expected to hit 180 million in the fiscal year ending next March. LOAN BOOK Shinsei can transfer bad loans back to the government, but it's under enormous pressure to forgive or restructure debt that could cause trouble in the future. RETAIL BANKING Although its 24-branch network is small, the bank is expanding its reach via telephone banking and will launch an Internet service next year. Local rivals are ahead of it. INVESTMENT BANKING Boasts a blue-chip client list and has raided rival firms for specialists in securitization. It lags, though, in merger advisory work.
