Goldman leads Asia-Pac Q3 ECM deals; UBS top fee earner
HONG KONG, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs led
underwriting rankings in Asia Pacific ex-Japan equity capital
markets (ECM) in the first nine months of 2014, preliminary data
released by Thomson Reuters showed. ECM deal volumes rose 20.4
percent from the same period in 2013 to $146.8 billion,
according to the data.
Proceeds from initial public offerings led the ECM
expansion, surging 80 percent to $40.2 billion on increased
activity in Hong Kong and Australia and as new listings resumed
in China after a hiatus of more than one year.
Following is a list of the region's top ECM underwriters in
the first nine months of the year and the estimated fees earned
on deals.
