Since the end of last year GlobalCapital has been working to identify the standout market participants in the Americas derivatives markets. These firms are now presented below in the official nominee list.
Nominees are invited to meet GlobalCapital from the beginning of February until March and pitch as to why they deserve to be firm of the year in their category. Judges will be looking for examples of innovation, growth and the betterment of the Americas derivatives markets.
Each award is judged by nominees’ innovations in product and service, commitments to new markets, improvements in efficiency, liquidity and market stability, as well as client guidance.
Winners will be decided by an editorial panel and then revealed at a gala dinner in New York's Metropolitan Club on May 28.
Please contact Ross Lancaster (ross.lancaster@globalcapital.com) or William Folkard (william.folkard@globalcapital.com) for any enquiries related to the pitches.
