The Research team at NORD/LB Norddeutsche Landesbank has once again achieved a top placement in an international ranking. The Fixed Income Research Survey 2017 conducted by the prestigious British financial market magazine Euromoney rated NORD/LB ninth in the Covered Bonds & Pfandbriefe category. This was the bank’s fourth consecutive year with a top-ten ranking among the world's best analysts. Last year saw NORD/LB with a successful tenth place in this category. The ranking is based on a global survey conducted among institutional investors.

NORD/LB's Fixed Income Research team carries out studies of bonds issued by public-sector institutions, banks and companies, analysing individual securities as well as providing general market assessments. The team's work also encompasses the analysis of covered bonds, which include German Pfandbriefe.
