High yield dim sum hits new heights in supply surge

Dim sum supply has had an explosive start to the year, with a torrent of deals from on and offshore issuers taking supply to four times what it was in the first two weeks of last year’s record six month run. But even more impressive is the appetite for yield, exemplified by Trade and Development Bank of Mongolia’s debut in the currency, which despite modest size signals the extent to which dim sum boasts a thriving high yield segment absent in any other Asian currency bond market, writes Steve Gilmore.
