US bank Citi possesses the strongest credentials across Asia’s fixed income markets, according to Asiamoney’s inaugural Fixed Income Poll.
This brand new Asiamoney survey was created to ascertain which global and regional financial institutions are viewed by investors and senior finance officials in Asia to possess the more impressive fixed income capabilities in credit, interest rates and commodities.
Overall we received 841 valid responses to the survey from more than 670 institutions across the region. These responses comprised of views from not just institutional investors, but also issuers and arrangers, to offer an in-depth insight about the outstanding institutions in Asia’s fixed income industry.
According to these voters Citi stands out as the best pan-Asia service provider for credit, interest-rates, and commodities. It beats out regional arch-rival HSBC into second place for regional credit and commodities, while the UK-headquartered bank is voted third for its interest rate capabilities.
Deutsche Bank comes third in credit, while European rival BNP Paribas is viewed to have the second-best regional interest rate services and third-strongest commodities capabilities.
