  • What does it take to excel as a covered bond syndicate manager in a period of market disruption?
  • Germany is the ancestral home of covered bonds, so it’s no surprise that to win an award for distribution, a dealer must be strong in the German market. But covered bonds are also Germany’s greatest export success story in the capital markets, so strength at home isn’t enough — a dealer must also have a deep reach into the large community of institutional asset managers across Europe and Asia as well as into official institutions across the globe that are investing in the asset class.
  • The evolution of the global covered bond market in recent years has played to HSBC’s strengths and does a lot to vindicate the bank’s approach to the product.
  • It’s human nature; when times are tough you revert to the tried and trusted when you need something doing. And covered bond houses don’t come more tried and trusted than LBBW.

In particular, it dominates the long-maturity segment, with 60% of its issuance in maturities of 10 year or longer.
