The call for nominations for GlobalCapital’s US Securitization Awards 2024 is now open.
As in previous years, the award winners will be decided through a two-step process. However, we have updated the nominations stage for 2024 to streamline the process.
This year, instead of asking for widespread nominations from across the market, we are only asking you to tell us why your deal or organization should be included in the shortlist. This means that you no longer need to ask your clients to nominate you in the first stage. Using these nominations, alongside our own independent research, the GlobalCapital editorial team will compile a shortlist in each category. This will be published in February and opened to voting by the market to choose the winners.
A full list of categories — including 11 new categories —and a summary of the research process can be found below. A full research methodology can be viewed on our Awards Page.
Please upload your nominations here.

POLLED AWARDS – CALL FOR NOMINATIONS
The polled awards are open to anyone active in the securitization market.
To nominate yourself, please fill out our short form, indicating which categories you wish to be considered for. You need only complete this once per organisation. Please upload your nominations here.
To support this self-nomination, you are invited to provide either a short submission of two sides of A4, or answer the entry questions on our entry system, detailing any notable developments over the awards period (2023 calendar year). You can download a PDF of the entry questions here.
If you have nominated yourself in a category, you must also nominate at least one other organization or deal in the same category. If you have limited knowledge of your peers (e.g. an issuer), then please nominate another organization in a different category to yourself. There is no limit on how many external nominations you can make.
Based on these nominations and our own research, GlobalCapital’s editorial team will compile a shortlist in each category. This will be down to our discretion – our aim is to compile a representative and credible shortlist in each category. These shortlists will then be opened to a market vote for the winners in February.
PITCHED AWARDS
In addition to the polled awards, we have three awards that are pitched: Securitization Bank of the Year, CLO Bank of the Year and Esoteric ABS Bank of the Year. If you would like to pitch, please get in touch with Sophie Astles, head of awards & research.
Pitches will be held with the editorial team between January 16 and March 7 2024.
The aim of the pitches is to get the most detailed understanding of each bank and to celebrate those that have led the market or brought important innovation in 2023.
