From January, GlobalCapital began to consult with market participants on the firms that have excelled during 2019 and deserved to be on the nominee list for this year’s awards. Then, during February and March, we interviewed the candidates for each category to determine the winners.
The pitches that won told stories of innovation, nimbleness in challenging conditions and advocacy for the betterment of the derivatives markets. Despite many challenges facing the markets, we heard many more stories of excellence.
Our congratulations to the winners and runners up.
