Taking to the stage at Deutsche Bank’s second day of investor presentations earlier this month, Colin Fan and Rob Rankin, the new co-heads of the bank’s corporate banking and securities division, were met with an air of expectancy akin to that of a debutante ball.

The event marked the culmination of the bank's 100-day review - a period during which both Fan and Rankin had quickly had to get used to a heightened level of public scrutiny following their promotions - and provided a first opportunity for analysts and investors to see the duo in action.
