Malaysian Rating Corporation Berhad (MARC) has published its 2020 Lead Managers’ League Tables. Published annually, the league tables rank the lead managers by volume and number of lead-arranged MARC-rated issuances in any given year.

The issue count league table of MARC-rated debt and sukuk programmes/issuances was headed by Maybank Investment Bank Berhad. Coming in second were CIMB Investment Bank Berhad, HSBC Amanah Malaysia Berhad and RHB Investment Bank Berhad.
