GlobalCapital hosted its annual Global Derivatives Awards at a gala dinner on Thursday, 29 September at The Carlton Tower Jumeirah in London. We were delighted to be able to bring together so many of the industry’s best to celebrate its successes over the past year.
BNP Paribas became Global Derivatives House of the Year, in addition to picking up awards recognising its strengths across equity, FX and credit derivatives.
Along with Allen & Overy, BNP Paribas also took home our inaugural award for Commitment to Sustainability.
Meanwhile, Linklaters was named both Global and European Law Firm of the Year, ICE was awarded Global Derivatives Exchange of the Year, and TP ICAP lifted the trophy for Global Interdealer Broker of the Year for the third consecutive year.
The night’s other winners included Bank of America, Nomura, Natixis, Cassini Systems, HKEX and Quantile.
The ceremony capped off months of research into the global derivatives market, drawing on written submissions, as well as wide ranging pitches with organisations from across the globe.
Rather than rewarding the biggest firm in each category, the awards sought as ever to recognise growth, innovation, extraordinary effort on behalf of clients, and work to improve the industry.
We opened the research process several months ago, sounding the market to ensure our categories best reflected the changing face of the industry. This led to the addition of seven new categories. We followed this with a submission process, which we used to produce a shortlist of the best in each category.
As ever, the process of choosing our winners was an exhaustive one. We combined our research into a single, global effort for the first time this year, and conducted over 90 individual pitches across 60 categories, before the editorial panel reconvened to pick the winners.
The calibre of this year’s shortlist meant that judging was extremely difficult, but we are confident that we have chosen the most deserving winners in each category.
GlobalCapital would like to thank everyone who took the time to contribute to the awards through submissions and pitch interviews, as well as to our sponsors. Without your support, these awards could not happen. Our congratulations go to all of our nominees and, of course, to our winners. The full list is below.
