KangaNews has announced the best performers in its inaugural Fixed Income Research Survey, in which Australian investors were asked to recognise the performance of fixed income research across nine categories. Over 30 investment firms participated in the survey, representing the bulk of major institutional investment funds in the Australian market across the fund management, insurance and balance sheet sectors.


Deutsche Bank was the highest-rated house, coming out on top in four of the nine categories – including the overall category – and sharing the lead in a further two. Commonwealth Bank of Australia was the best performing domestic bank and took top spot in the corporations category.

Full coverage of the awards and commentary from the winners will appear in the July/August edition of KangaNews magazine.
