New York, May 31 - Bank of America Merrill Lynch kept its No. 1 rank in the U.S. structured products league table for the year through May with 195 deals totaling $4.49 billion, or 27% of the market, according to preliminary data compiled by Prospect News. The data excludes exchange-traded notes.
The market as a whole has declined by 17.5% so far this year as of the end of May to $16.61 billion from $20.15 billion in the same period last year. Most firms, even Bank of America Merrill Lynch, saw their sales drop. The exceptions were UBS and Goldman Sachs, which recorded increases of 2.25% and 0.6%, respectively, and HSBC, which was the only bank to experience a really strong growth year over year. It has sold $1.30 billion in 2012, nearly five time its $332 million worth of sales recorded last year. This expansion propelled HSBC to the fifth slot from No. 11 last year.
JPMorgan and UBS remained second and third, respectively. JPMorgan sold $2.60 billion in 447 deals, or 15.64% of the market, while UBS followed closely behind with $2.49 billion in 1,325 deals making for almost 15% of the total.
Goldman Sachs moved up from No. 7 to the fourth ranking, capturing 10.66% of the total with $1.77 billion sold in 218 offerings.
A sign of weakness in the overall market was the increase of the number of deals accompanied by the shrinking sales volume. Agents have priced 3,540 offerings so far this year, compared with 2,677 during the same period of last year. The average deal size was cut to $5 million from $8 million.
Fisher deal
The month of May brought a surprise: UBS' jump to the first position from third last year. The firm sold $1.18 billion, which represented a third of the $3.58 billion priced by the market overall.
UBS' jump in the rankings was largely due to an exceptionally large deal it brought to market for UBS AG, London Branch on May 16, $946.2 million of 0% Fisher enhanced big cap growth securities due May 28, 2013 linked to the Russell 1000 Growth Index Total Return. It is the biggest offering on record for the year to date.
In contrast to this big deal, UBS remained the top agent for small offerings, pricing 277 of them in the month, which out of 657 deals, accounted for 42% of the monthly total.
The UBS top deal also helped the overall volume for May post a 10.6% increase from last year to $3.58 billion from $3.24 billion. Without this exceptional deal, however, and based on the most current available data, May would have fared poorly compared to last year.
FX, indexes
Most underlying asset classes experienced a decline from last year for the year to date except for two: currencies and equity indexes.
Currencies, which represent only 3.4% of the total, grew the most. They increased 50% to $562 million this year from $375 million in the same time last year.
HSBC was the top agent for FX deals, pricing 29% of this asset class in 16 deals for a total of 69 offerings.
Equity indexes, which remained the most popular asset class, rose to $9.06 billion from $7.05 billion, a 28.5% increase.
Bank of America, the top agent in this category, captured a third of the market with 100 deals totaling $2.99 billion.
Others down
However, all other asset classes dropped so far this year.
Traditional interest rate-linked notes were hit the hardest, falling to $279 million from $2.43 billion last year.
Bank of America took the first slot from third last year, pricing 13 deals, or more than 37% of the total volume for this asset class.
Those traditional interest rate structured products, which feature optionality, do not include a separate category, called "interest rates with structured coupons" by Prospect News. This separate class, which includes step-up notes, step-down notes, fixed-to-floating notes and capped floaters, is listed separately and is not included in the overall totals.
Structured coupon deals in the past have shown a strong increase in volume. The trend stopped for the first time in May with a 9% decline for the year to date to $29.45 billion from $32.34 billion last year. First Tennessee was the top agent for those plain-vanilla fixed-income products.
Commodity-based products fell by nearly 50% to $1.31 billion from $2.58 billion. Bank of America remained the leader in this category with 42% of the total, which it priced in 33 deals.
Single-stock issuance saw a 46% drop in volume to $3.21 billion from $5.93 billion.
Sources have reported that this decline for this asset class is more than likely related to investors' loss of appetite for reverse convertible structures. UBS led the pack for single-stock deals, having sold nearly 34% of the total in 1,222 offerings totaling $1.09 billion.
Issuers
For the issuers' league tables, some changes occurred from last year, evidencing the rise of HSBC already visible in the agents' ranking.
As an issuer, HSBC USA Inc. rose from thirteen to second in the league tables from last year to this year to date. Bank of America Corp. moved up one notch to No. 1. JPMorgan Chase & Co. remained the third issuer, and UBS climbed to No. 4 from No. 11.
Barclays Bank plc, which was for the same time last year the top issuer, fell down to fifth.
Barclays as an agent, however, remains the dominant player in the ETN market, where it controls 85% of the $16.49 billion ETN issuance volume. It is followed very far behind by Credit Suisse, which commands 8.5% of this market.

Prospect News Structured Products Rankings
|
|
Criteria
• The tables include all dollar-denominated offerings sold in the United States as public, Rule 144A or similar deals reported to Prospect News.
• Offerings are included in the time period in which they price.
• Amounts are based on the total sales price (face amount multiplied by the offering price). The full amount is credited to the lead manager. For multiple managers, the total value is divided equally among all the firms.
• Each tranche is counted as a separate deal.
• Notes are included that convert into or are linked to one or more stocks, indexes, commodities, currencies, interest rates or other assets.
• Interest-rate products with a structured coupon but no underlier, such as step-up notes, step-down notes, fixed-to-floating notes and capped floaters, are listed separately; they are not included in overall totals. Agencies are included in this category.
