Debt Capital Markets advice

Making the market work for you.

Successful issuance starts well before a transaction comes to market.
Your funding objectives, capital structure and market position shape the issuance strategy – not the other way around.

Drawing on real-time market intelligence and investor insight, we help you make informed decisions around structure, timing, pricing and execution, positioning your transaction for the strongest possible outcome.

We bring everything together to understand what you have and what you’re likely to need, then build a sustainable plan for the income you want throughout retirement.

Distribution and market insight

Better connected. Sharper intelligence.

Our relationships with institutional fixed income investors across Europe and North America give you access to a broad and relevant pool of capital.

And because we’re active in the market every day, we bring you more than investor access. By combining continuous investor dialogue with trading, market-making and credit research, we give you a real-time view of demand, pricing and sentiment.

So you can identify the right investors, judge when to move and execute with greater confidence.

From preparing to access sustainable finance through to issuance and investor engagement, we bring together ESG expertise and Debt Capital Markets execution.
