21st Annual Syndicated Loan, Leveraged Finance & Private Debt Awards
For over two decades, the GlobalCapital Syndicated Loan, Leveraged Finance & Private Debt awards have been celebrating the industry's leading deals and institutions. The GlobalCapital loan awards are unique in that they are chosen by the market, for the market. Winners are decided based on a poll of market participants, canvassing their opinions on who has really stood out and made an impact over the review period. This means that we are confident that our awards reflect who the market considers the best in each category.
KEY DATES
Poll opens: 18 October 2023

AWARDS POLL
The winners of our Syndicated Loan, Leveraged Finance and Private Debt Awards are decided through an industry poll.
The principle of the poll is that banks, borrowers, investors, lawyers, private equity houses and service providers are all invited to vote for the best loan and private debt deals of 2023, and the most impressive market participants.
The Awards refer to the period from November 16, 2022 to November 15, 2023. Deals signed during that period are eligible, and the awards for organisations refer to performance during that period.
In each category, one vote is allowed per institution. Different individuals from one organisations can vote in different categories. You may not vote for your own institution.
In mid-December, GlobalCapital will publish a shortlist of nominees for each award, based on the institutions and deals that get the most votes.
We will reveal the winners of the Syndicated Loan, Leveraged Finance & Private Debt awards at a gala dinner in London in February 2024
