Equity Capital Markets
Link Reit has dominated the headlines this week with confusion surrounding whether it will go ahead or not. The deal priced last weekend helping to make this week the fifth largest by volume of the year. Joint bookrunners, Goldman Sachs, HSBC and UBS could gain $662 million credit each with Goldman Sachs breaking through the $10 billion barrier. This is the first time any bank in Asia will have managed to achieve this feat in the ECM market.
UBS could be the big mover on the back of this transaction, moving up into third from fifth with $5.7 billion from 31 transactions. The final book HSBC remains in ninth place, moving $800 million ahead of ABN AMRO in number 10 even though the Dutch house completed a $176 million block for GOME on Wednesday night.
JPMorgan could slip down to fourth, despite running the books on a $415 million exchangeable for Khazanah/PLUS along with Commerce International Bank. This leaves it just $40 million ahead of long time third placed Merrill Lynch, which will slip back into fifth despite being sole lead on the $150m convertible for International Bank of Taipei.
