GlobalCapital is delighted to announce the winners of its Equity Capital Markets Awards 2021. The full list of winners is below.
The GlobalCapital Awards are the only ones that celebrate the highest achievements in this vitally important capital market in EMEA.
The Awards for the Deals of the Year and Best Non-Bank Market Participants were decided with direct input from the ECM market through a poll conducted online earlier this year. GlobalCapital’s editorial team then made the final judgement.
We believe these Awards truly reflect the opinion of the market as to the overall Deal of the Year and another 12 deals that we have commended as Outstanding Equity Capital Markets Deals of the Year.
The editorial team decided the Awards for the Banks of the Year in Equity Capital Markets based on our knowledge of the market and market research, including pitches from many of the leading investment banks in the market.
GlobalCapital congratulates all the winners and runners-up, and thanks all who supported the Awards by pitching and voting in the poll.
