BayernLB combines the Loan, Bond and Schuldschein Syndicate into new Debt Finance Syndicate

Florian Hummel takes over the management of the newly formed unit

Munich/London – BayernLB combines all syndication activities in one centralised unit. As a first step loan syndication and bond/Schuldschein syndication were merged beginning of this year. During the course of 2021, real estate syndication will also be consolidated into the new combined debt syndicate business in order to form one centralized unit within the markets division of the bank.

BayernLB pools syndication expertise for all debt products of the bank in one centre of competence. The new unit, comprised of 15 specialists, acts as single point of contact for all companies, business partners and investors in relation to debt syndication.

The newly formed department is headed by Florian Hummel, former head of leasing and securitisation within the structured finance business of the bank. Experienced syndicators of the legacy syndication units as well as long-standing product and sales specialists form the core of the new unit. The new debt syndicate supports the bank’s business model with a special focus on corporate, project, asset and real estate finance. In addition, Christoph Weaver, General Manager of BayernLB’s London Branch, brings his expertise to bear in the new unit. BayernLB strengthens its Debt Syndicate and risk placement capabilities across the asset classes for all investors.
