Covered Bond Awards 2024: shortlist revealed

GlobalCapital is delighted to announce the nominees and to open voting in this year’s Covered Bond Awards.

Many thanks to those who helped to determine the shortlists by taking part in the market consultation, which took place in May. Market participants were invited to share their recommendations of the deals, borrowers, investment banks and people that stood out during the period that these awards cover. Based on this feedback, shortlists were drawn up in each category. As ever, this was a competitive process and our congratulations go to all of this year’s nominees.

These shortlists are now open to a market vote to choose the winners. Those active in the covered bond market are invited to have their say on the leading names in each category.

The poll will be open until midnight BST on July 5, 2024.

The GlobalCapital Covered Bond Awards celebrate the most notable market achievements in the period between August 1, 2023 and May 31, 2024.

Voting will be close on July 5, 2024.
