Natixis voted best bank for covered bonds for 2011

Paris, France, October 3, 2011

Natixis was chosen by 340 participants in the covered bond market (issuers, investors and brokers) in a survey conducted in September 2011 by The Cover, a EuroWeek publication.

Natixis is currently ranked n°1 in the covered bond market by number of transactions managed (62 transactions)*.

The Cover’s award confirms Natixis’ expertise in the covered bond market for over 12 years and its position as a leading global bank in 2011, in all currencies.

In the context of high market volatility, covered bonds are one of the main financing instruments available to banks. Because they provide a guarantee of security and transparency, banks world-wide have used them to raise more than €165 billion so far in 2011.
