The Covered BondMarker League Table Builder is interactive and allows readers to select the appropriate timeframe for measurement, as well as the minimum number of deals an arranger has worked on.
The assessment is based on the average scores of all deals that lead managers have arranged.
Half the score of each deal is based on a survey and the other half is calculated using a range of key metrics — such as the deal’s subscription ratio, its performance, the granularity of the order book, and the transaction’s size.
Deal scores are published on the Priced Deals Database and there is a link to this on the covered bond channel within the FIG section on www.globalcapital.com.
