Deutsche Bank was voted the best provider of derivatives by institutional investor end-users in Risk magazine’s annual poll published early June. This is the fourth year in a row that Deutsche Bank has come top of this poll, one of the largest in the industry.

Deutsche Bank scored strongly across all product areas, ranking No.1 in 14 different overall categories including interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps and equity index options.

The Bank also managed to improve its rankings in many categories despite ranking top in previous polls. Deutsche Bank saw its rankings rise in 22 different categories not including those categories in which it ranked No.1 this year and last year. The Bank dominated the interest rate derivatives section of the poll, winning best overall interest rate swaps and Forward Rate Agreements.

As in previous years, Deutsche won nearly every Euro-related interest rate category. It also performed well in US dollars, ranking No.1 for barrier options and cross currency USD/EUR derivatives. Equity derivatives was another area where the Bank generated excellent results, particularly equity index options. Deutsche Bank was voted No.1 in six out of the 10 different index categories, No.2 in three, and No.3 in one. The Bank’s rankings improved year-on-year in six different categories.

Deutsche Bank also won the volatility/variance swap award and the OTC basket options, both for indices and single stocks.
