Qualities we were looking for included exceptional execution, overcoming challenging circumstances, bold or innovative structures, good market judgement/timing, strong results for clients, excellent service and others. We provided a short text box for respondents to make a nomination case but we were also happy to have informal discussions by phone as well.
In April, we put these shortlists to a broad vote from the market, receiving more than 1,900 valid responses, from over 500 firms. These included more than 225 investor responses and 357 issuers.
Separately from the polling and shortlisting process, we invited market participants to pitch for three categories: CLO Arranging Bank of the Year, Esoteric ABS Bank of the Year, and Innovative Deal of the Year.
All the awards categories are listed below, with winners and nominated firms/deals. If you have any questions regarding the awards, please contact Jennifer Kang at jennifer.kang@globalcapital.com.
Congratulations to the winners and nominees!
