ANZ has comfortably topped the Thomson Reuters LPC's monthly mandated loan arranger league tables for the Asia Pacific region (including Australia, excluding Japan), for the year to 31 July.The tables take in all deals, including club loans in all currencies, even those denominated in less used currencies such as renminbi and New Taiwan dollars. So far this year, ANZ has had a lead role in 168 loans, raising over US$18 billion for its clients, and snaring over 7.4 per cent of market share.This gave the bank, arguably Australia's most Asia-connected, a comfortable lead over its nearest rival, the Bank of China, which had just over 6.0 per cent market share from 130 deals. The third ranked loan arranger was HSBC, with a hand in $12.5 billion in loans (117 deals), yielding just over 5 per cent market share, according to Thomson Reuters' numbers.When it came to the bookrunners' leaders board (A-Pac, ex-Japan), the positions were reversed, with ANZ placed third (US$9.7 billion, 7.2 per cent market share), just below Bank of China ($10.6 billion, 7.9 per cent market share), and China Development Bank (US$10.3 billion, 7.7 per cent, from 14 deals). ANZ was well ahead of National Australia Bank ($6.75bn, 23 deals, 5 per cent market share) and Westpac($5.8bn, 29 deals, 4.3 per cent share), sitting at numbers five and six respectively.
