RBS HELPS REVIVE STERLING BOND MARKET TEAM OF THE MONTH

摘要

The sterling bond market has been in good heart this year, helped by renewed life in the hybrid and covered bond segments. Its high-quality investor base has been attracting non-UK as well as British issuers and, appropriately enough, RBS has been one of the most active banks in the market. RBS sees sterling fixed-income debt capital markets (DCM) as part of its natural stamping ground. "One of our stated strategic initiatives is to focus RBS as a strong UK bank that can help its domestic and international fixed-income clients access the UK capital markets, both inward and outward bound," says Gordon Taylor, RBS head of fixed income DCM.
