Dealogic league table roundup, February 20

Equity Capital Markets

The equity capital markets continued at a similar pace as in recent weeks with $283 million raised from 16 issues. Bank of America - Merrill Lynch remains at the top of the league table ranking with $1.9 billion, followed closely by UBS on $1.8 billion and Morgan Stanley with $1.7 billion.

Real Gold Mining's $133 million IPO was the largest issue of the week and led by Citi and Macquarie Group. Citi sits in fifth place in the ranking with $542 million, while the Australian investment house moved into 10th place with $194 million.

Year-to-date issuance stands at $9.8 billion from 73 issues - down 6% from the $10.4 billion raised in the same period last year.


Debt Capital Markets

The debt capital markets saw zero trades for the third consecutive week. Deutsche Bank and HSBC share the top position in the ranking with $1.3 billion apiece, followed by Bank of America - Merrill Lynch and RBS on $795 million each.

Year-to-date volume stands at $5.6 billion, which is up 25% from the $4.5 billion raised year to date in 2008. However, the deal flow of four trades is less than a third of that priced in the same period last year.
