Loan Awards

Voting opens today in the poll to decide the market’s leading deals and institutions

Rarely has having a bank with the expertise to navigate uncertain markets been so important to borrowers as in 2023. One firm in particular stood out for its ability to guide successful transactions home in the hardest of conditions. The winner of GlobalCapital’s Loan House of the Year — in addition to a host of other loan awards — was BNP Paribas. GlobalCapital spoke to Nicolas Rabier, the bank’s co-head of investment grade finance, about what lay behind the firm’s success and some of the stand out deals from the past year.

Crédit Agricole CIB was involved in virtually every award-winning loan deal this year. But its strength in real asset finance won special mention. Clean energy and the digital transition are two of the most important trends in global infrastructure — the bank is at the heart of both. Unrivalled experience saw the firm lead stellar telecom tower and offshore wind transactions — leaving it the clear winner of Best Arranger of Infrastructure and Renewables Loans.

Longevity matters in finance. And in the fast-evolving market of green and ESG-linked finance, being an early mover not only brings advantages it can help differentiate one bank from another.

When asked how many times MV Credit has won the GlobalCapital “Best subordinated debt investor” award, Frédéric Nadal, the private credit firm’s managing partner, CEO and co-head of origination, has to ask a colleague. He writes back the next day to confirm: 12 times, or every year between 2009 and 2020. This year, then, marks the 13th win.

GlobalCapital can now reveal the winners of its annual Syndicated Loan and Leveraged Finance Awards for 2021. Congratulations to all the Award winners and to those who were nominated.
