We will now open the below categories to a vote from the whole market, though we reserve the right to disqualify votes, and will place special weight on the votes from informed market participants. For example, in an award for “best RMBS trading bank”, we will look to votes primarily from investors rather than service providers or law firms.
Voting is open from now until midnight EST on May 3.
In parallel with the voting process on these awards, we continue to invite pitches for “CLO arranging bank of the year”, “Esoteric ABS Bank of the Year” and “Innovative Securitization Deal of the Year”. We have had several pitches already but happy to find time through the rest of this month.
Please contact owen.sanderson@globalcapital.com and Jennifer.kang@globalcapital.com to arrange a pitch slot. There is no special format, but it is usual to provide a slide deck and 30 minutes-1 hr to discuss with us.
