Deutsche Bank named best high-yield bond house in Asia

Bank recognised for expertise in APAC's Bond Market at the IFR Asia Awards

Deutsche Bank's deep regional strength, robust investor relationships, and strategic ability to pair bonds with the right buyers has once again been recognised. This expertise was crucial in securing several prestigious awards from the International Financing Review Asia (IFR Asia).

Recognised for excellence in Debt Capital Markets: Key IFR Asia award wins for 2025

These notable accolades highlight the bank’s excellence in Asia Pacific’s financial markets.

  • Asia’s High Yield Bond House: Four-peat winner, cementing Deutsche Bank's position as market leader once again in 2025
  • Landmark Deal Awards: Multiple wins across APAC, including:
    • Renminbi Bond of the Year
    • Asia’s Investment Grade Bond
    • Indonesia’s Capital Markets Deal
    • Asia’s Private Market Deal

Pioneering landmark deals across the APAC Region

Throughout 2025, Deutsche Bank's Debt Capital Markets (DCM) team supported a diverse range of issuers. Notable transactions include bond issuances from India (Greenko and Vedanta) and Macau (Melco Resorts and Wynn Macau). A significant revival of Chinese issuances saw Deutsche Bank play a pivotal role. The bank successfully managed transactions for both China Hongqiao Group and Fosun International, which effectively reopened the Chinese high-yield market for international investors.This positive sentiment extended to the real estate sector, with Greentown China's 350 million US dollar deal marking the first offshore bond from a Chinese property firm in two years. Deutsche Bank also lead the way with sole bookrunner trades for GLP and Sammaan Capital.

Our ability to successfully execute sole transactions and maintain market leadership reflects the strength of our investor relationships and our deep understanding of the region’s evolving financial landscape. Ed Tsui, Head of DCM and Syndicate for Asia Pacific.
