Derivatives Global Awards

BGC has taken advantage of volatile market conditions and its rivals’ merger distractions to win market share, enlarge its electronic footprint and grow its top line. This has been the year it has all come together for the firm, making it GlobalCapital’s Interdealer Broker of the Year.

Committed client service and outreach, along with its appetite for derivatives and the performance it has achieved by using them, make BMO Global Asset Management GlobalCapital’s Asset Manager of the Year.

Credit Suisse’s differentiated approach to clearing has been much praised by clients this year. It combines the responsiveness of a boutique with the platform capabilities that allow its clients to scale. It has become a European champion in a business in danger of being dominated by US banks and is GlobalCapital’s Global Clearing Bank of the Year.

Citadel Securities has this year added depth to its FICC offering to compound an already strong position in equities. This breadth of business, which has been expanded with powerful entries into new markets, has been matched by the firm’s confidence in establishing itself as a significant public advocate on market issues, making it GlobalCapital’s Specialist Liquidity Provider of the Year.

It has been a year of strong expansion for JCRA with the firm spreading its influence and now regularly working with top tier funds and companies. It has also successfully moved into the FX hedging advisory sector, bulking up around its core offering on interest rates, and using that expertise to benefit UK housing associations and the renewable energy sector, among others. For that, it is GlobalCapital’s Risk Management Advisory Firm of the Year.

Mayer Brown is GlobalCapital’s Global Law Firm of the Year after an impressive 12 months that comprised working closely with ISDA on new regulations, having a seat on nearly every bank’s legal panel and making a number of key hires in the US.

Strength across the board, top positions in rates and FX and smart strategic decisions around the structure of its business mean that Bank of America Merrill Lynch is GlobalCapital’s Global Derivatives House of the Year for 2019. The bank also picked up the Interest Rate Derivatives House of the Year and FX Derivatives House of the Year awards.

Despite huge political headwinds and stiff competition, LCH still dominates European clearing, both in the volumes it processes and the innovation and new product development that it continuously commits to, making it GlobalCapital’s Clearing House of the Year.
