📣 We were a counterparty to SwapAgent’s first foreign exchange (FX) forward in USDJPY, via Quantile - An LSEG Business. SwapAgent has expanded its service to FX forwards. International frameworks have raised the amount of capital required for FX trades, making it crucial to optimise risk in order to reduce exposure and capital needs. Jo Marshall, Global Head of Second Order Risk Group, said: “SwapAgent’s expanded service for FX forwards offers a great solution - lowering capital requirements without added initial margin, all while benefiting from standardised processes and increased efficiency.” LCH LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group) #SwapAgent #FX #InvestmentBanking

💡 Deutsche Bank recently priced two growth-oriented equity capital market (ECM) transactions in the real estate sector, raising around €1.5 billion via accelerated non-pre-emptive offerings.

Proceeds from the capital increase will help fund mainly the capital expenditure requirements for the development and expansion of Merlin’s data centre business. ▶️ Deutsche Numis served as one of two Joint Bookrunners for The Unite Group on a £450 million ABB, which was the second-largest real estate follow-on offering since 2020. The capital raised will enable Unite to accelerate growth through new investment activity.
