Citigroup Citigroup has been lauded by buysiders for its synthetic collateralized debt obligation business, particularly for its work around index and bespoke tranches. The global credit markets group, headed by Carey Lathrop, has been investing heavily in its electronic trading capabilities and has been seen as a leader in index and bespoke synthetic tranches, particularly at a time when others have been focusing on restructuring or unwinding existing large CDO trades. Notable deals include an equity tranche of a EUR 1.2 billion portfolio, where the firm was hired by a competitor based on its wide reaching distribution channels, and over USD 11 billion of traded equity index tranches (through April of this year).
