Top S&T Desks in HK?

Title says it all. I've heard in S&T the overall strength of your bank matters less than the strength of your desk, so I'm interested in finding out which S&T desks in Asia (more specifically HK) are the most well-regarded/top-ranked.

I've heard DB Credit, JPM eFICC, and UBS Equities to be some of the top desks in the region. Do correct me if I'm wrong

Would love to hear the thoughts of industry professionals here on WSO.

I would also put HSBC as a top firm in Asia (especially HK) for S&T more stronger for FICC (especially FX & Rates) and not super strong in Equities.
