Deutsche Tops 1Q10 Public Lead Manager Rankings 1Q10

Totals for public ABS deals for the first quarter of 2010 dropped year-over-year, according to preliminary figures from the ASR Scorecard database.

The numbers are based on ABS public deal activity, excluding 144A transactions, by the top eight lead managers in 1Q10. The managers were given equal credit in terms of dollar volume.

The totals for public deals for the just-ended quarter reached $8.33 billion, compared with $11.97 in 1Q09.

Deutsche Bank Securities topped the rankings, after acting as lead manager on $2.15 billion in public ABS transactions, according to the ASR Scorecard database.

The investment bank also took a notable 25.9% share of ABS business for the quarter, compared with just 9.1% in the same period last year.

Deutsche was followed by second-place finisher RBS Securities, with $1.82 billion, and a 21.8% share of the business. RBS leaped from being no. 6 in 1Q09, with a mere 4.9% market share and $590.8 million in asset-backed business.

Credit Suisse was third in 1Q10, with $1.11 billion, and a 13.3% market share. It also jumped from the previous year's ranking, where it placed eighth and sold $499.3 million, which garnered for it a 4.2% market share.

Bank of America Merrill Lynch placed fourth in the first quarter of 2010, with $931.2 million in deals and an 11.2% share of underwriting business. Over the same period last year, BofA Merrill had placed third among lead managers in 1Q09, according to the ASR Scorecard data.
