Over the last few months, GlobalCapital’s awards research team has been working to identify the standout players from across the derivatives market. Following a submission process, as well as consultation with the market, we are delighted to present the shortlist.
The nominees are now invited to pitch to win their categories. This year, pitches will be run by awards editor, Sophie Astles, in conjunction with John Anderson. John’s career spans both journalism and corporate communications. He has managed marketing and communications departments at such banks at Citibank, JPMorgan Chase and Barclays Capital. Starting out as an investigative journalist, he has more recently written for GlobalCapital, as well as Euromoney and Risk magazines.
Judges will be looking for examples of innovation, growth and working for the betterment of the derivatives industry, as well as extraordinary effort on behalf of clients. Differentiation is key and nominees should demonstrate how they have stood out from their competitors in their performance, what they offer to clients or in their strategy.
In addition to the shortlisted categories below, we will be awarding Derivatives House of the Year for the Americas, Europe & Asia, and Global, as well as an Americas Law Firm of the Year, Global Law Firm of the Year, Interdealer Broker of the Year — Europe & Asia and Americas Interdealer Broker of the Year. However, these are no longer pitched categories and will be instead be based on an institution’s performance across other categories.
We expect ESG to be a key focus in this year's entries and will be looking for ways to recognise excellence in this area throughout our research.
We will also be awarding an Outstanding Achievement Award to recognise an individual who has made a huge contribution to the development of the market and who commands universal respect among their peers. This is a special award entirely at the discretion of GlobalCapital. However, informal suggestions are welcome — please get in touch with Sophie Astles.
The pitching process is now open and the key dates are as follows:
Pitches begin: May 1
Deadline for pitching: June 30
Winners revealed: September
To book your pitch, or for any questions about the awards, please contact Sophie Astles.
For commercial enquiries, please get in touch with Ashley Hofmann, Publisher and Business Development Manager.
