The only bond awards for Latin America
decided by the market, for the market
The GlobalCapital Latin America Bond Awards is a prestigious new awards programme, celebrating the leading names in the Latin American debt capital markets.
Leveraging GlobalCapital’s coverage of the region’s cross-border bond market, the awards will recognise the top banks, issuers, investors and deals, as well as law firms, rating agencies and other market participants.
The Awards will follow a survey model, giving the market a unique opportunity to have its say on which deals, individuals, and organisations have stood out. The award winners will be chosen by the market, for the market. The survey will recognise performance during the 2024 calendar year.
Winners will be honoured at a live ceremony in New York in April. The Awards ceremony will provide a superb networking opportunity for participants from across the market to celebrate their successes over the preceding year.

Survey Rules
▼
The principle of the poll is that banks, borrowers, investors, lawyers and other service providers are all invited to vote for most impressive institutions and best deals in the Latin American bond market over 2023. Firms are not permitted to vote for themselves. Please leave any questions that do not apply to your company or personal expertise blank.
The Awards refer to the 2024 calendar year. Deals signed during that period are eligible, and the awards for organisations refer to performance during that period.
Rules of the poll:
- Honest opinion. Your vote must be your honest opinion. If your chosen candidate does not win, you would rather a deserving candidate did than an undeserving one. Tactical voting, for example for weak candidates, is forbidden. We reserve the right to ask your reasons for your votes.
- One vote. In each category, one vote is allowed per institution. Please consult with your colleagues before you submit your vote. It is fine for several colleagues to vote in different categories. As far as possible, please try to coordinate with your colleagues to ensure that only one person from your firm votes in each category. However, if this is not possible, do not worry — GlobalCapital will reconcile any excess votes. To help with coordination, you can download a full list of categories here.
- No self-voting. In the Awards for organisations, you may not vote for your own institution, a subsidiary or an affiliate. In the Awards for deals you may not vote for deals of which your organisation or an affiliate is the borrower. It is permitted to vote for deals your organisation has arranged or bookrun. Investors may only vote for deals they have invested in if there were at least three investors.
- Eligibility to win. You need not vote in every category. In the best bank, best law firm and best investor categories, an institution is only eligible to win an Award if it has voted in that category.
- Campaigning forbidden. GlobalCapital will keep your votes anonymous. We ask you to do the same. You may ask market contacts to vote for you, but you may not check that they have actually voted, fill in the poll for them or discuss how you vote with other market participants outside your firm.
