Awards

Caisse Française de Financement Local (Caffil), the covered bond issuer of the SFIL Group, is strongly established as the leading public sector covered bond issuer, with more than €50bn of outstanding bonds, including 22 benchmarks. In particular, it dominates the long-maturity segment, with 60% of its issuance in maturities of 10 year or longer.

Repeating success year-in, year-out is a difficult business. Even Michael Jordan’s trail-blazing Chicago Bulls team had a couple of off years in the middle of their 1990s winning streak. It’s quite some achievement, then, that Barclays has now won the GlobalCapital Best Bank for Structuring and ALM award six times in a row.

GlobalCapital is proud to announce this year's winners of the covered bond awards

Just a few few votes separate the leading contenders in some of the categories in GlobalCapital’s Covered Bond Awards 2020 survey and, with the outcome uncertain, market participants that have not voted yet are encouraged to do so soon.

The GlobalCapital Covered Bond Awards survey is now open and market participants are invited to take a look at the voting shortlists before casting their votes for this year’s best lead managers, issuers and deals.
