Over the last week, ABGSC has raised a total SEK 1.7bn in high yield bonds for financial services company, Bayport (SEK 1.1bn, jointly with DNB) and real estate company, Kvalitena (SEK 600m). Year to date, ABGSC has assisted companies in Sweden to issue high yield bonds to the value of SEK 3.1bn, which takes us to the No.1 position in Sweden. Although Stamdata’s official ranking has us as No.2, close behind Swedbank, its definition of high yield includes one large deal of investment grade, and so in our view, ABGSC is No. 1 in this segment.
We are very proud of the fantastic achievement by our DCM and FI sales team.
