Taifook Securities takes back its crown as the top equity house, while HSBC continued domination of Hong Kong’s bond landscape entitles it to our best debt house award.

ASIAMONEY is pleased to announce the winners of our annual best domestic bank awards. In India, HDFC Bank narrowly fended off Axis Bank to become the best local bank, but the latter’s powerful debt origination business won it the best debt house award. Plus Kotak Investment Banking seized a best equity house gong with a strong display.

ASIAMONEY is pleased to reveal our best domestic bank awards for Malaysia. CIMB makes a clean sweep of the three categories for the second year running. The banking group impresses for its depth of professionalism and international ambitions.

ASIAMONEY begins its annual awards period to recognise the best domestic banks, equity houses and debt houses in each major market in Asia-Pacific. We start with our Australia winners.

The Swiss bank usurped its rival UBS to take the top sport for equity-linked structured products in our latest poll. A lot of credit for this must go to recent hires Min Park and Kenneth Pang, who Credit Suisse recruited from its competitor.

The UK-headquartered bank ranked first in this category for the first time in ASIAMONEY's Structured Products Poll. It says that its success is mostly a result of concentrating on broad structured credit advice to its clients.

The Swiss bank takes top honours for all three main categories of Asiamoney’s largest Private Banking Poll. Deutsche, BNP Paribas, Maybank and Citi also did well.

Citi, HSBC and Credit Suisse were the big winners in our annual Structured Products Poll. But with the US government keen to enact tough regulatory reform of the derivatives market, the entire structured products universe could be a very different place in the coming year. Richard Morrow reports.
