Landsbanki London Branch has recently launched a Fixed Income unit, which will run propietary bond portfolios for the bank. The bulk of the liquidity is placed in the investment grade ‘senior financials’ (mostly FRNs), and the remaining liquidity is placed in quasi-sovereign corporates.
For the smaller of these portfolios high yield corporates and structred products can be positioned. Both portfolios have a “buy and hold” strategy and take long term investment views – the aim being to buy and hold bonds that represent relative value and create an income stream for the bank.
Alongside this activity, we are operating an institutional sales business, whereby we distribute bond products to other investors. These customers comprise;
- Treasury departments of banks
- Insurance companies
- Reinsurance and Asset Managers
- Corporates
Our customers are mainly based in Europe, but also in the Far East and beyond. The products traded will range from liquid Government bonds through to financials, high yielding Corporates and structured products. These can be both primary and secondary deals.
Landsbanki London Branch plans to expand the team, placing London at the hub of all Landsbanki's global bond activity.
