Fixed Income

DZ BANK issues covered bonds pursuant to Section 9 of the DG BANK Transformation Act (DG BANK Umwandlungsgesetz) - so-called DZ BANK Bonds. These are covered bonds that represent an interesting investment alternative to pfandbriefe.

Building on this expertise, we have expanded our offering to include European covered bonds in recent years.

In the fast-growing segment of SSAs (Sovereign, Supras, Agencies), we act as a leading liquidity provider. For years, DZ BANK has ranked first in the ESM/EFSF Auction Dealer Rankings. Trading in EU bonds, which have reached an above-average market volume due to the financing needs resulting from the pandemic, is just as competent and market-penetrating. DZ BANK is now one of the leading credit institutions in ESG bond trading. With this broad product range, we offer excellent opportunities to diversify your portfolios.
