GlobalCapital European Securitization Awards 2024: winners revealed!

Organisations from across the European securitization market came together at London’s Pan Pacific on March 13 to celebrate their successes over 2023 at GlobalCapital’s annual awards dinner.

Despite another year of volatility, the market remained resilient, creative and agile in the face of adversity, and the awards shine a spotlight on those who led the way during those 12 months.

The atmosphere was celebratory, as more than 200 people from all corners of the industry came together to enjoy each other’s company, share in the ups and downs of the previous year, and congratulate the winners — all accompanied by music from the wonderful Ember Trio.

The GlobalCapital Securitization Awards are unique in that they are decided by the market itself.

Research for the awards began back in October, when the market was asked to nominate those that it deemed worthy of inclusion on the shortlist. The nominees were published in December and opened to a market vote to select the winners. Over 45,000 individual votes were cast, resulting in over 140 nominees and more than 50 winners.

The five exceptions to the vote were three pitched categories: Overall Securitization Bank of the Year, Private Securitization Deal of the Year and the Overall Deal of the Year.

These categories were chosen by our editorial team and winners were based on pitches received from the nominees themselves.

Alongside them were two individual awards — Outstanding Contribution and Lifetime Achievement — which recognise longstanding excellence and impact in the European securitization market. Janet Oram of USS took home the Outstanding Contribution award, while the Lifetime Achievement award was given to Steve Gandy, formerly of Santander, who retired in 2022.

Congratulations to all our winners and nominees, and huge thanks to all those who took the time to pitch and vote in the poll. The full list of winners and nominees is below. Click here to download a PDF of the winners.
