Deutsche Bank Clings to Junk Bond Billionaires to Maintain a Rare Lead

``The Frankfurt-based lender has sold 9.3 billion euros ($9.9 billion) of high-risk, high-yield bonds in western Europe since the start of 2016 for clients including billionaires Carl Icahn, Manuel Lao Hernandez, Mohammed Al Amoudi, Paul Coulson and Patrick Drahi, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The deals helped Deutsche Bank top the table for such bond sales on the continent even as it lost ground in other markets it used to dominate and its slice of trading revenue fell to the lowest since the credit crisis.''
