Top Australian bank clinches title for two consecutive years in research for global markets.
Deutsche Bank has once again clinched the top spot in the KangaNews Fixed Income Trading and Research Poll 2025, being named the number one bank for international markets research in Australia for the second consecutive year [1]. This recognition is a testament to the bank's strong performance across various research areas, including international, securitisation, corporate, and financial institution issuance.
In addition to its top ranking in international markets research, Deutsche Bank also excelled in secondary market support. The bank secured second place for its support of Australian securitisation products and for its role in supporting deals it did not originate [1].
Kalvin Fernandes, Credit Analyst in Australia, was also recognised, ranking fourth in the KangaNews Fixed Income Trading and Research Poll for his research on the Australian Credit Market. Mark Stone, Head of Flow Credit Trading for Australia, also made the list, coming fourth for his research on Securitisation [2].
While Westpac Institutional Bank led across the majority of categories in the poll, specific rankings for international, securitisation, corporate, and financial institution issuance research were not detailed for Westpac in the provided information. However, Westpac's performance in secondary market support was not explicitly mentioned, but it is noted for leading in various categories generally [2].
The KangaNews Fixed Income Trading and Research Poll is an annual survey that assesses Australian sell-side research and secondary trading. The poll acknowledges the analysts and brokers that support the Australian debt market outside primary issuance, providing valuable insights to investors, particularly in a year marked by global uncertainty [1].
This is one of the bank's strongest performances in the poll to date, with Darren Boulos, Head of Global Foreign Exchange for APAC and Head of Australian Rates Trading, stating that the bank's Fixed Income and Currencies platform in Australia was recognised for the second year in a row [1]. The bank's global research team was also acknowledged for delivering high-quality insights to investors.
