ISF Survey 2022 - G2 Equity Lender results
Natixis Asset Management Finance made an appearance in this year’s top Group 2 (G2) lender survey, rising to become the overall winner. The French lender also made consistent top six list in most categories, appearing in second place in both the EMEA and Asia-Pacific rankings. When rated by its smaller borrowers, it stayed in the second spot in Asia- Pacific but slipped to fourth in EMEA (weighted) and third (unweighted).
BNP Paribas Securities Services Principal Lending came out top in the Asia-Pacific lists, up from its second (unweighted) and third (weighted) spots in 2021. It also claimed the first spots in Asia- Pacific when rated by its smallest borrowers. It was in second place in EMEA, reflecting its European scope. It was first overall when G2 borrowers were surveyed.
Japan's Sumitomo Mitsui scores kept it in the top three G2 lenders in the Americas rankings, boosting it to first place, an improvement on last year’s third. In the overall rankings, it slipped to third place from second place in 2021. However, when rated by its G1 borrowers, it rose to first place in both the overall and in the Americas rankings. It was in the same place overall in 2021.
In fourth place overall among G2 lenders this year was Handelsbanken. The Swedish lender also claimed the first spot in EMEA this year from Aviva. It rose to second spot when G1 borrowers were surveyed about overall rankings, behind Sumitomo Mitsui.
MUFG Investor Services maintained its second place in the Americas overall rankings for the second year running. While it is typically strong in Asia-Pacific, it did not make the top three rankings this year.
France’s Amundi was recognised by G2 borrowers at the top G2 lender overall in the unweighted category. It claimed second place in the weighted list. It topped EMEA rankings when rated by its smallest borrowers, an improvement on last year when it did not feature in the top three.
