In total we received 1,615 valid individual responses from 1,411 different institutions. Investors and senior financial managers were invited to participate in the poll to assess the best fixed income providers in the Asia-Pacific region. The interest rates category enjoyed the strongest overall response rate, consistent with last year’s poll.
ANZ successfully defends the interest rates category and overtakes Citi this year to claim top spot for the credit category. HSBC also performs admirably by advancing one place in interest rates and credit to secure the runner’s up spot. In commodities, ANZ drops one place and is displaced by CIMB.
Singapore-based OCBC moves into third place, it also performs well in interest rates where it returns to the top 10 after a one-year hiatus. UOB and CIMB also advance in this category. Lower down in the ranks, Deutsche Bank and BNP Paribas deserve mentioning as they make a noticeable improvement in credit.
