Credit Suisse First Boston has raised Sfr1.27bn (€866m) from two deals in a single week, adding another 40% to its tally of €2.11bn ($2.05bn) raised in equity offerings for the first nine months of this year according to Dealogic, the investment banking research firm.

CSFB was ranked ninth in Dealogic's league table for bookrunners of European equity offerings for the nine-month period. The money raised this week will go some of the way to cover the ground between CSFB and Merril Lynch, ranked eighth, having raised €3.05bn during the period.
