GlobalCapital reveals the shortlist for its 2024 Bond Awards

Bond Awards shortlist 2024

Winners will be announced at a ceremony at The Landmark London on June 19



GlobalCapital is delighted to reveal, for the first time, the shortlists for its Bond Awards, recognised as the only comprehensive Awards for performance in the international bond markets.

Now in their 17th year, the GlobalCapital Bond Awards are the only awards dedicated to issuers, investment banks, investors, rating agencies, law firms and advisers in the international bond markets. Uniquely, they are determined by a poll of market participants. This means that the nominees, like the winners to be announced on June 19, have been determined entirely by votes from across the industry.

Thank you to everyone who helped us to determine the shortlists via the market survey that ran throughout March and April. We were very encouraged by the level of engagement from across the market, with the leading banks, issuers and investors from all sections of the bond market represented among the voters. Congratulations to all the nominees. A full list can be found below.

The Awards cover the period from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024. A full methodology can be found on our Awards page.

The winning deals, organisations and individuals will be announced at a live ceremony at The Landmark London on June 19.

The Awards Dinner will be a great opportunity for participants from across the market to come together to network and celebrate their successes.

If you have any questions about the Awards please contact Sophie Astles, head of awards and research
