Deutsche Bank wins Global Corporate Trust Provider of the Year for the 5ᵗʰ consecutive year at the 2025 IJGlobal Awards

Deutsche Bank Trust and Securities Services was named Global Corporate Trust Provider of the Year at the 2025 IJGlobal Awards, taking the top prize for the fifth year in a row.

In addition to the global award win, the Trust and Securities Services (TSS) team was also recognised with regional awards for the seventh consecutive year, as the Corporate Trust Provider of the Year for North America, Europe, and APAC, representing a clean sweep in the Corporate Trust awards category.

Presented by IJGlobal (now Green Street) – a leading provider of data, intelligence and analysis across energy and infrastructure markets – the awards come as global energy and infrastructure markets continue to be impacted by changing macroeconomic conditions, trade policy shifts, and longer-term trends such as the energy transition and widespread adoption of artificial intelligence.

“In 2025, we saw growing complexity across energy and infrastructure markets, with clients taking on larger, more bespoke, and cross-border projects that require close coordination across multiple parties,” reflected Paul Maley, Global Head of Trust and Securities Services at Deutsche Bank. “Our continued success in this awards programme reflects our long-term commitment to delivering high-quality corporate trust services to clients that meet their evolving requirements.”

Against this complex macro backdrop, Deutsche Bank TSS supported landmark projects across the energy, digital infrastructure and industrial sectors. In 2025, this translated into numerous transactions across 32 countries, spanning solar, wind and battery storage to transmission and LNG, transport and logistics infrastructure, and data centres.

“We supported a broad range of projects across markets and asset classes, reflecting the scale and diversity of activity we are seeing,” added Thalia Delahayes, Head of Project Finance and Loan Agency, Americas. “Our collective strengths, including global reach with local expertise, comprehensive product offerings, with advanced technological capabilities – combined with our ability to deliver across various asset classes – position us to meet the evolving demands of energy and infrastructure projects as a true Global Hausbank.”
