The Fixed Income Business, led by Colm Ryan and John Buckley, is a new addition to the Goodbody Capital Markets product offering.

• Our desk is staffed by two professionals with a combined experience of almost 30 years, and a background in structured finance and high yield/distressed credit sales.
• They advise upon and facilitate the efficient transfer and disposal of illiquid, structured and vanilla debt instruments, specialising in financial bonds issued by Irish and Eurozone-peripheral institutions, and portfolio trades using structured credit solutions.
• The team has a wide breadth of large institutional client relationships, and a comprehensive knowledge of the credit markets.

Over the past few years, with the continuance of the current credit crisis, sovereign bonds and bank debt have become areas of focus for investors all over the world. Consequently, the international fixed income markets have developed a real need for focused fundamental research and technical market intelligence in these asset classes. Given Ireland's current economic position, Irish sovereign and bank debt has become a sub-sector in its own right.

Many specialist end-buyers are increasingly turning their attention to Ireland and so, by extension, the Eurozone peripheral nations. The Goodbody fixed income team facilitates the trading of debt products and delivery of structured debt solutions, through a research driven Institutional bond agency sales service.
