Why would an investment bank's syndicate desk care about the specific rating assigned to a new bond issue?

  1. It is the figure used to calculate the internal year-end bonuses paid out to the bank's deal team.
  2. It determines the maximum total commission and fees the bank is legally permitted to charge the issuer.
  3. It tells the syndicate desk the precise calendar day on which the primary market will reopen for new issuance.
  4. It dictates which specific investors can be targeted and where the bond's spread should likely be priced.
