Thank you to everyone who helped us determine these shortlists via the nominations process that ran between November and early January. Over 8,000 individual votes were cast, and we were very encouraged by the level of market engagement.
The vast majority of categories have, as in previous years, five names to choose from. In a few instances the numbers is slightly more or less than five. This reflects how exceptionally tight the vote was in those categories. You can find the full shortlists below.
The shortlists are now open to a vote to choose the winners. The poll will be open until February 22.
All awards will be voted on by market participants, with the exception of the awards for the Overall Bank of the Year, Private Securitization of the Year, and Overall Deal of the Year. If you wish to pitch for any of these three awards, please contact Sophie Astles.
Please read through the instructions below carefully to ensure that your votes count.
Please fill out the details requested in the survey. These will be kept entirely confidential and will be used only to ensure that votes are valid.
There is no cap on the numbers voting from any given institution, and no requirement to answer every question. We reserve the right to weight votes by seniority, job role, institution or similar considerations. For example, a vote from a portfolio manager at a major securitization investor would count more heavily than that of a rating agency analyst in determining the “Secondary ABS/RMBS Trading House” award, while a regular issuer’s vote for an arranging bank would be particularly valuable.
In general, minimal weight will be placed on votes for one’s own institution and greater weight placed on votes for counterparties.
We encourage you to distribute the survey widely among clients, counterparties and within your own institutions, but urge you to avoid ‘block voting’, in which every response form is identical, and for everyone involved to consider their choices individually. We reserve the right to strip out suspected block votes when tabulating the final category winners.
All votes will be strictly confidential. However, we reserve the right to publish aggregated and fully anonymised figures by institution category — for example, “X% of investors voted for Y” — at our discretion.
You do not have to complete the entire survey for your votes to be counted.
Votes should reflect market activity for the 2022 calendar year.
GlobalCapital reserves the right to disqualify any votes it deems invalid. The poll will close on February 22, 2023, and the winners will be announced at a ceremony in London on May 4.
If you have any questions about the research process, please contact Sophie Astles

Outstanding Contribution
This award recognises individuals who have made huge contributions to the development of the market over the course of their careers, and who command universal respect among their peers. Previous winners have been Richard Hopkin of Afme, Rob Ford at 24 Asset Management, Max Bronzwaer, group treasurer of Obvion, and Alex Batchvarov, who runs securitization research at Bank of America.
This is a special award given entirely at the discretion of GlobalCapital's editorial team. However, informal suggestions are welcome — please get in touch with Sophie Astles if you would like to nominate someone.
Market Outlook Survey
As we did last year, we would also like to test the temperature of the securitization market and ask its view on what it sees are the main threats and opportunities, as well as its thoughts on how spreads are likely to perform over the coming months.
Please see the end of the survey for these outlook questions. Your views are greatly appreciated and will be kept confidential. We will publish the overall results at the same time as the award winners.
Thank you again for your support and we look forward to seeing you at our Awards Dinner on May 4.
