Discussion

Mpoma Jan 22, 2022:
IPOs? This appears to be the context. "Placing syndicates/pools" as mentioned by Adrian entre autres. Though he has then come up with an "Adrianish" offering which may well be more accurate (although as is often the case one never knows). Ana appears just to have googled but hit the jackpot.
Steve Robbie Jan 21, 2022:
Since it's an object clause... ... and so presumably intended to be construed as broadly as possible, I'd be inclined to leave it as "placement and issue syndicates" without trying to specify what's being placed or issued (syndicated loans, bonds, shares?). The bank's current specialism shouldn't be regarded as a limiting factor. I prefer "issue" to "issuing" or "issuance".

placement et émission Syndicate:
What is a banking syndicate?
A syndicate is a group of banks making a loan jointly to a single borrower. ... Typically, a bank may not lend to any one borrower an amount in excess of 15 percent of its capital. Participating in a syndicated loan thus allows a small bank to make a loan to a large borrower it could not otherwise make.

Placement of shares:
Private Placement of Shares refers to the sale of shares of the company to the investors and institutions that are selected by the company which generally includes the banks, mutual fund companies, wealthy individual investors, insurance companies, etc rather than issuing it in the open market for the public as a whole ...

Or the German version of this Swiss Bank's Articles of Association? There might be one.
writeaway Jan 21, 2022:
If the French seems weird or poses a problem Have you tried searching for the terms in German? I find that often helps, in both language directions

thank you
Peer comment(s):

agree Mpoma : I think this is right... but the protocol is not in fact to answer by doing a google on what you think is the right term. / Aha. Seen that, apologies ... I *think* the context is more specific though, IPOs.

Thank you, Mpoma, I did not merely Google the terms, I work in this area and was sure, just wanted to add lots of examples. Also, I did add some additional explanation under Discussion, did you get a chance to read that? Thanks again!

French term (edited): syndicat/s de placement et d'émission

equity investment and bond issu(anc)e consortium /a

Perchance interpret and define what is being placed and / or issued.

Bridge:

syndicat d'émission : issue sndicate
syndicat de placement : placing syndicate or pool

- but query the Mafia connotations of syndicat.

Emissionskonsortium Schweizerischer Banken: Handbuch des Geld- Bank- und Börsenwesens der Schweiz



Example sentence:

IATE: syndicat de placement syndicat de vente groupe de placement placing consortium selling group selling syndicate 1074466 syndicat de placement selling group

Swiss Bank Corporation traces its history to 1854. In that year, six private banking firms in Basel, Switzerland, pooled their resources to form the Bankverein, a consortium that acted as an underwriting syndicate for its member banks

Peer comment(s):

neutral Steve Robbie : Syndicated loans are the first thing that comes to mind, and they are neither equities nor bonds.

Good point, but syndicated loans are also known in CH as consortium loans, though I discounted any placement of loans, or issue of such - unless in the guise of bonds as per the debenture trust deeds I have drafted in the City : hence my tangents.
agree Daryo : also OK //although there is nothing wrong with "syndicate" - you also have perfectly legit "syndicated news" and "syndicated loans".

Lepo hvala et merci ! I tried to 'eschew' a literal Google-driven answer and don't feel syndicated loans are being referred to, even in the 'issuance' part, unless bonds as in debenture trust deeds I used to draft at a law firm in the City of London.
