Following the success of GlobalCapital’s first full scale Equity Capital Markets Awards for 2015, we are now deciding the Equity Capital Markets Awards 2016.
The winners will be announced at our second ECM Awards Dinner on Wednesday March 15, at the Banking Hall in London.
GlobalCapital’s ECM Awards are the only comprehensive awards for equity capital markets activity in EMEA. Their purpose is to foster excellence in the market by recognising the issuers, investors, investment banks, law firms and advisers that were most impressive in any one year, and applauding the deals that stood out for success, innovation or importance.
Our 2015 Awards were very well received. The dinner last March was attended by 150 people including C-suite executives at issuers, investors and many of the leading ECM banks and other participants.
As in 2015, the Awards will be determined by a combination of a public poll of market participants and editorial judgement. A complete list of the categories is below.
Two groups of Awards will be determined by the poll, in which we invite you to vote.
These are:
- The Deals of the Year, by type of deal and region
- The Best Non-Bank Market Participants — investors, law firms, advisers

If you would rather vote using a Word document, please email Jon Hay at the address below.
The Awards for the Best Banks will be determined by our editorial team, based on banks’ performance and achievements during 2016.
Banks are not required to pitch, to be considered. However, if banks would like to engage with us, to tell us what they think they have done well in 2016, we would be happy to meet them or speak by phone.
