Definition of lead-left bookrunner

Lead-left bookrunner is the major bank within a bank syndicate, the group of banks who work together to underwrite a financial transaction, such as an initial public offering or a bond issue.

As syndicates have grown to include more banks, the title 'lead-left' is used to indicate the bank that has played the most important role in the transaction, and has been involved in the deal from an early stage.

The term evolved from the position of bank names in deal documentation – the most important bank being named first, in the upper left hand corner of a prospectus.

One cannot call a left-lead bookrunner the sole bookrunner if there were other bookrunners on the deal. Even if they were more junior in terms of role.
