Awards

The story of BNP Paribas’s securitization business has been told before, but it’s still a remarkable turnaround.

This man’s passion for securitization runs deep — whether it’s calling a tune to the Global ABS conference, evangelism to sceptical regulators, or building a pioneering fixed income boutique out of the ashes of 2008, Rob Ford has remained at the centre of the market since its inception.

Raising equity can be hard for small and mid-cap corporates in Europe. Too small to attract the bulge bracket banks, too big for local brokers to handle — but for Berenberg an opportunity to expand beyond its 430 year-old roots in Germany.

The environmental, social and governance (ESG) agenda finally arrived in equity capital markets in 2020 with a flurry of activity across IPOs and convertible bonds.

Equity capital markets advisors had their work cut out for them in 2020. Throughout the year, their services were in high demand due to everything from Covid-related recapitalisations and marquee IPOs for technology-sector stars, to a resurgent equity-linked market, a boom in special purpose acquisition companies, and rising investments in unlisted equity.

Investment bankers tend to always talk about standing behind their corporate clients in tough times. Last year HSBC stood out for putting those words into action.

Last year GlobalCapital was forced to abandon our 2019 Equity Capital Markets Awards dinner because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Little did we know that what seemed like a brief crisis would transform all our lives in the way it has. But despite the huge pressure of the virus and its dramatic impact on stockmarkets, the equity capital markets rose to the challenge in 2020, enabling many companies to raise vital capital to mend broken balance sheets and even to complete IPOs, all without executives having to leaving their home countries — or even their homes. After an extraordinary year, GlobalCapital is pleased to recognise the truly outstanding achievements in ECM.
