The largest deal of the week was an $88 million follow-on for Kaiser (China) holding through Zheshang Securities, followed by a similar sized follow-on raising of $87 million for Anhui Deli Household Glass through Sealand Securities.
Goldman Sachs continues to lead the league table ranking with $9.9 billion in 2013 YTD, followed by UBS and JPMorgan, respectively.
Debt Capital Markets
Franshion Brilliant was the only issuer to tap the G3 debt capital markets this week, for $200 million through bookrunner Goldman Sachs, down from the $1.1 billion raised via five issuers in the same period last week.
