Deutsche Bank dominates High Yield Bonds in Asia

Deutsche Bank's expertise in financing earns prestigious recognition in the Asia Pacific region. The bank was named Asia’s High-Yield Bond House of the Year from IFR. Deutsche Bank also secured 14 wins at The Asset Triple A Sustainable Finance Awards 2025.

Deutsche Bank: A force in the Asian High-Yield Bond Market

Dubbed Asia's "championship team" by IFR, Deutsche Bank demonstrated unparalleled expertise in the region's high-yield bond market. The bank garnered recognition for its role in reviving the Asian high-yield bond market by structuring innovative deals, guiding debut issuers, and finding investor demand even in challenging markets.  

IFR highlighted Deutsche Bank as the "runaway leader" in introducing debut issuers to the market. The bank's success stemmed from its deep understanding of investor sentiment, intelligent deal structuring, and ability to identify pockets of demand. Notable debut deals that solidified Deutsche Bank's leadership include Sorik Marapi's green bond and Golomt Bank's landmark Mongolian issuance, setting new benchmarks in the Asian high-yield bond landscape.

These accolades are a testament to our unwavering commitment to providing innovative and bespoke solutions for our clients. In a volatile market, our team's deep expertise and dedication have been instrumental in helping clients navigate challenges to achieve their financing objectives. Ed Tsui, Head of DCM and Syndicate for Asia Pacific

“We have never stopped providing solutions to our clients in the last two years. We’re building this market one issuer at a time,” said Ed, emphasizing the bank's commitment to nurturing the market's growth.

Beyond debut issuances, Deutsche Bank solidified its position by fostering long-term relationships with clients, securing repeat business from key players like Shriram Finance.

“Once we have taken a capital market issuer out, we almost always do their repeat bonds. The whole business is about finding those new targets and maintaining relationships in the old ones,” said Sameer Gupta, Head of South Asia DCM.
