Achievements
Global Transaction Banking
Despite the financial crisis, 2008 was another record year for Global Transaction Banking. The business grew across all regions, with particularly strong growth in our European home market and the Asia-Pacific region alongside solid performance in the Americas, even under difficult market conditions. Our Cash Management franchise cemented its leading position in Europe whilst delivering growth in particular in Asia. Trade Finance delivered exceptionally strong momentum in the year under review, especially in Asia and Europe. And Trust & Securities Services expanded its product and geographic reach in 2008.
Corporate Banking & Securities
Global Markets’ businesses enjoyed mixed results in 2008. Credit and equity proprietary trading sustained considerable losses, as did other credit trading. Equity derivatives was also severely impacted by extreme market volatility and by sustained high levels of correlation.
By contrast, in other businesses, Global Markets performed extremely well and further strengthened its franchise. Our foreign exchange business turned in a record year, and was voted No. 1 FX provider in Euromoney magazine’s annual poll for the fourth year running. Our market share increased to 22%, the highest ever achieved by any bank.
Interest rate trading also performed well, with continued strong revenues. Besides the positive performance of traditional interest rate products there was strong growth in inflation derivatives and life and pension products.
The commodities business performed strongly in 2008, with growth in customer activity thanks to sustained investment in this business in recent years. In December, we were voted “World’s No.1 Commodity Derivatives House” in IFR magazine’s highly-regarded annual awards.
Our prime services business also achieved notable success during the year, notwithstanding very difficult conditions for the hedge fund industry. In a poll of end users by Global Custodian magazine, we were voted the world’s best prime broker.
