  • Mad as a midsummer banker
    Around this time of year bankers are struck by a strange affliction. Maybe they're bored - summer markets are notoriously quiet - or perhaps they reckon most people will be on vacation and won't notice. Whatever the reason, there's a marked increase in silly deals.

  • Banks battle for arranger mandates
    The number of banks competing for LBO arranger mandates has increased significantly over the past six years. Almost every major continental European bank now has a leveraged loan team.

  • Epoch-breaking events
    Goldman Sachs has acquired useful data-mining technology and a potentially lucrative distribution agreement with online retail brokers TD Waterhouse and Charles Schwab.

    If you're desperately trying to pocket a bigger bonus than you know you deserve, do as the Gesellschaftler in Berlin did. Approve some dodgy credits (take some political donations on the way, too, if you are in the right party) reduce the risk provisions for the loans, then wait until profits amass in the next year, and voila - the bonus is yours to collect.
