After witnessing depressed activity levels in the second half of 2015, global debt capital markets saw a notable recovery over 2016 – helping debt origination fees improve at the industry-level. This allowed the largest U.S. investment banks to report a 4% increase in these fees compared to the previous year. However, their wallet share shrunk for the fourth consecutive year, primarily due to a steady growth in the Chinese debt capital market. As local players have a strong grip in China, the U.S. banks have had to contend with a smaller share of the rapidly-growing regional market – something that has had a negative impact on their global market share figure.
After being displaced from the top spot by JPMorgan in 2015, Bank of America regained the #1 position in terms of global debt origination fees. In fact, Bank of America has reported higher debt origination fees than any other bank in the world for 7 of the last 8 years (with the exception being 2015).
