Mizuho Investment & Corporate Banking’s platform is on the rise. We finished last year with a bang, winning Project Finance International’s Americas Bank of the Year for transactions that furthered the green energy transition. We expanded our footprint in our flagship debt capital markets franchise, led the biggest IPO of the year and closed the Greenhill & Co. acquisition to bolster our M&A capabilities.
We are proud of all our accomplishments and some of the highlights include:
- Ranking in the Top 10 among global banks per Refinitiv, making us the fastest growing global investment bank.
- Supporting sustainability through the financing of groundbreaking energy transition and infrastructure projects for which we were named Americas Bank of the Year by PFI.
- Solidifying our Top 10 position in investment grade debt capital markets for eight years running, ranking overall #4 in corporate IG bonds (Bloomberg) and #8 in IG loans (Refinitiv).
- Rising in the equity capital markets league tables to #5 in IPO’s, #8 in converts and #10 in overall US ECM by leading 2023’s most significant offerings of the year including the IPO of ARM Holdings (Bloomberg).
- Expanding our Leveraged Finance expertise and providing innovative solutions and financings to our corporate and private equity clients.
- Finalizing the Greenhill acquisition which has added M&A and Restructuring talent and capabilities to our platform.
We would like to thank our clients for choosing Mizuho and placing their trust in us. We look forward to continued growth in the new year.
