Banks, investors, borrowers, lawyers and private equity houses are all invited to vote for the best performers of 2012. The winners will be revealed at the 10th Syndicated Loans & Leveraged Finance Dinner on February 13, 2013.
Go to https://www.research.net/s/EuroWeekLoans2012 to vote.
EuroWeek’s awards are the only ones decided by the loan market itself and they are based solely on the public vote. However, EuroWeek understands that in previous years certain institutions have undertaken determined campaigns to solicit votes from other voters — a process that risks skewing the results.
To counterbalance this, we have invited the Syndicate Managers’ Forum to audit the votes after the public poll, ensuring that the final results are the most accurate and relevant reflection of the loans market.
The deadline for the vote is Friday, November 23. Each institution only has one vote, so please sit down with your team and decide on your selection for each of the categories below before filling in the survey online.
If you have any questions about the poll, please contact Nina Flitman, EuroWeek’s loan editor. For details on attending the awards dinner on February 13, please contact Daniel Elton.
