Since spring, GlobalCapital has been working to identify the best and brightest of the global derivatives markets, in what has already been an extraordinary year. These firms are now recognised in the official nominee list below.
Nominees are now invited to meet GlobalCapital and put forward their case for why they deserve to be firm of the year in their category. Judges will be looking for examples of innovation, growth and the betterment of the global derivatives markets.
Each award is judged by nominees’ innovations in product and service, commitments to new markets, improvements in efficiency, liquidity and market stability, as well as client guidance.
Winners will be decided by an editorial panel and then revealed in autumn.
Please contact Ross Lancaster (ross.lancaster@globalcapital.com) or William Folkard (william.folkard@globalcapital.com) for any enquiries related to the pitches.
