Role Description

About Strategic Corporate Lending Team

• Loans / lending commitments are a key component of the relationships held by Deutsche Bank with its corporate and financial institutional clients. Relationship loans are typically issued to support the generation of franchise revenues booked by the product lines across the Corporate Bank and Investment Bank divisions. Strategic Corporate Lending (“SCL”) provides governance around the investment of capital into these client relationships and risk manages the approved final hold positions down to pre-defined thresholds set by Credit Risk Management. SCL owns the loan risk that it is hedging within its predominantly senior, unsecured asset class Institutional and Corporate Credit portfolio. SCL hedges the final hold positions using single name CDS and the issuance of CLOs referencing the underlying loan risk. Along with hedging the credit risk of loan book, CLOs also provide regulatory capital relief to the Bank.
• The CLO servicing team provides support to the SCL Securitization teams in New York, London and Frankfurt that originate and execute CLOs to facilitate the economic risk hedges required for its hedging / RWA relief mandate. Current notional of SCL’s CLOs is c. EUR 35bn, including transactions that assist other Corporate Bank, Investment Bank and Private Bank business areas in managing their own hedging / RWA relief mandates. The investors in these transactions are some of the Bank’s largest institutional clients including investment funds, pension funds and hedge funds as well as supranational institutions.
• The CLO servicing team currently has five members in Mumbai. We are expanding the team to hire one person for supporting workstreams related to the issuance and servicing of CLOs which securitize the Bank’s German and Dutch midcap corporate loans portfolio with the aim of hedging the concentration risk and generating regulatory capital relief for the Bank.
