Nominations open in the 2025 European Securitization Awards!

The call for nominations for GlobalCapital’s European Securitization Awards 2025 is now open.

The award winners and nominees will be decided through a two-stage poll of market participants, canvassing opinion on the deals and institutions that have stood out and made an impact in 2024.

The first stage of the process — the call for nominations — is now open.

This is open for anyone active in the securitization market to put themselves, their colleagues, their clients or their peers forward to be shortlisted. A full list of categories and a summary of the research process can be found below. Full research methodology can be viewed on our Awards Page. Using these nominations, the GlobalCapital editorial team will compile a shortlist in each category. This will be published in December and opened to voting by the market to choose the winners.

Nominations open: October 15 2024

Nominations close: November 27 2024

Shortlist published and voting opens: December 4 2024

Polled categories make up the vast majority of the European Securitization awards. The call for nominations is open from October 15 to November 27 and market participants are invited to put themselves, their colleagues, their clients and their peers forward to be shortlisted.

We encourage you to nominate widely outside of your own organisations, but you are also free to nominate your own deals and teams. You are welcome to share the survey link as broadly as you like, but we urge you to avoid ‘block voting’, in which every response form is identical.

Nominations should reflect institution and deal activity for the 2024 calendar year.

If you are nominating your own organisation or deal, we invite you to provide a short submission to support your nomination. This should be a maximum of one side of A4, detailing key accomplishments during the research period in relation to a given category.

Using these nominations, the GlobalCapital editorial team will compile a shortlist in each category. This is decided at our discretion, but your nominations are a key part of the decision-making process. Any submissions will be used in combination with the nominations. Our ultimate aim is to compile a representative and credible shortlist in each category.

In addition to the polled awards, we have three awards that are pitched: Overall Bank of the Year, Private Securitization of the Year and Overall Deal of the Year. If you would like to pitch, please get in touch with Sophie Astles.

Pitches will be held with the editorial team between October and January.

The aim of the pitched awards is for us to obtain the most detailed understanding of each bank or transaction and therefore celebrate those that have led the market or brought important innovations in 2024.

This award recognises individuals who have made huge contributions to the development of the market and who command universal respect among their peers. The Lifetime Achievement award recognises an individual who is nearing retirement or recently retired, while the Outstanding Contribution is for an individual who remains active in the market.

These are special award entirely at the discretion of GlobalCapital editorial. However, informal suggestions are welcome — please get in touch with Sophie Astles if you would like to make a recommendation.

Now in its second year, this award recognises an individual under 35 years of age or with less than 15 years of experience in the industry. While the winner of this award will primarily be decided based on the survey, the individualistic nature of this award means that a short submission is particularly welcomed — you can provide this via the survey, or get in touch with Sophie Astles if you would like to make a recommendation.

While we celebrate the brilliant people and institutions in European securitization, we also seek to look ahead.

After a year of record issuance for European securitization, GlobalCapital’s market survey is back to gauge whether or not the good times will keep on rolling in 2025. Will high rates start to tell on credit quality? Will the flow of new issuers and new money into the market continue? Towards the end of this survey, you will have the chance to share your views — anonymously, of course.

We will reveal the results in our Review of the Year in December.
