Fixed Income Trading: BNPP vs RBS
Hey everyone I'm new to this forum, and had a question that I have been researching for the last few days. I hold internship offers with RBS and BNPP for Fixed Income Trading, in London, and need to choose one.
I am interested in Rates (including Rates derivatives), and so have been trying to compare the Rates departments of the two firms. They both specialise in Fixed Income, so since it is both firms' strength, I'm finding it hard to decide on which is better for Rates.
I have tried finding the Euromoney Rates Survey 2012 but that is subscription-only and costs £1000 or so which I don't have!
Does anyone have an insight to help me out?
Hi Benhurry,
If it's rates you are interested in then RBS is probably the better bet - they're traditionally a leader in GBP rates, sterling swaps, structured inflation products etc.
BNP Paribas had a good year in DCM last year and built out their credit teams too - I would say they are the best-positioned French bank in the fixed income space.
Thanks for the reply, appreciate your advice. I found the thread on this site regarding the JPM Report on IB Revenue in 2011, but the pdf link isn't working. Instead, I only have the 2010 Citi Report which shows BNPP as the better bank for G10 Rates.
Can anyone link me to a working pdf of the JPM Report, so I can gain a more updated viewpoint?
