GlobalCapital reveals the nominations for its Syndicated Loan, Leveraged Finance and Private Debt Awards 2022. As usual, these were decided by a poll of market participants. Conducted in November, the poll invited participants to choose the deals, banks, investors and advisers that most impressed them during the year November 20, 2021 to November 15, 2022.
Only one vote is allowed per institution in each category and firms are not allowed to vote for themselves.
