US Securitization Awards 2024: shortlists announced and voting is open!

Thank you to all those who took the time to nominate and submit entries during the nominations process that ran throughout January. We were greatly encouraged by the engagement and enthusiasm from across the market. Using the nominations, alongside our own research, we have put together a shortlist in each category. Now it is time to vote for the winners!

The shortlists are live and voting to choose the winners has begun. The poll will be open until March 14, 2024.

All awards, apart from three, will be voted for by market participants. In most categories, there are five names to choose the winner from. However, in certain instances, there are slightly fewer or more than five choices, reflecting how fierce competition was in those categories. You will find the full shortlists below.

The Overall Securitization Bank of the Year, Esoteric ABS Bank of the Year and CLO Bank of the Year will be chosen by the GlobalCapital editorial team based on pitches. If you would like further details, or wish to pitch for any of these three awards, please contact Sophie Astles.

Please read the following instructions carefully to ensure that your votes are counted accurately.

• There is no cap on the number of individuals voting from any given institution, and no requirement to answer every question. We reserve the right to weigh 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 arranging bank would be particularly valuable.

• You are not permitted to vote for your own institution or its affiliates.

• We encourage you to distribute the survey widely among clients, counterparties and within your 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.

• GlobalCapital reserves the right to disqualify any votes it deems invalid.

• 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.

• 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 firm and deal activity for the 2024 calendar year.

The poll will close on March 14, 2024 and the winners will be announced at a ceremony in New York City at Essex House on May 16, 2024
