US Securitization Awards 2025: Nominations open!

The call for nominations for GlobalCapital’s US Securitization Awards 2025 is now open.

The award winners and nominees are decided through a two-stage survey of market participants that canvases opinion on the deals and institutions that have really stood out and made an impact over 2024.

The first stage of the process — the call for nominations — is now open.

Anyone active in the securitization market can put themselves, their colleagues, clients and peers forward to be shortlisted. A full list of categories and a summary of the research process can be found below. Full research methodology can be viewed on our Awards Page.

Using these nominations, the GlobalCapital editorial team will compile a shortlist in each category. This will be published in February and opened to voting by the market to choose the winners.

Polled categories make up the vast majority of the US Securitization awards. The call for nominations is open from December 19 to January 31 and market participants are invited to put themselves, their colleagues, their clients and their peers forward to be shortlisted.

To nominate yourself, please fill out the survey, indicating which categories you wish to be considered for. You need only complete this once per organization. To support this self-nomination, you are invited to provide either a short submission of one side of letter size paper, or answer our entry questions, detailing any notable developments over the 2024 calendar year. You can download the entry questions for organizations and for deals here.

We also encourage you to nominate widely outside of your own organizations — whether that be to recommend clients, peers or counterparts.

You have two choices in each category, so if you are nominating your own organization or deal, please also nominate another deal or organization as a second choice. If you are providing a submission or answering the entry questions to nominate yourself in a category, you must also recommend at least one other organization or deal for inclusion.

Nominations should reflect institution and deal activity for the 2024 calendar year.

Using these nominations and written entries, alongside our own research, the GlobalCapital editorial team will compile a shortlist in each category. This will be decided at our discretion — our ultimate aim is to compile a representative and credible shortlist in each category. These shortlists will be opened to a market vote for the winners in February.

In addition to the polled awards, we have three awards that are pitched: Overall Bank of the Year, Esoteric ABS Bank of the Year and Innovative Deal of the Year. If you would like to pitch, please get in touch with Sophie Astles.

Pitches will be held with the editorial team between January 6 and March 12 2025.

The aim of the pitched awards is for us to obtain the most detailed understanding of each bank or transaction and therefore celebrate those that have led the market or brought important innovations in 2024.

New for 2025, this award recognizes individuals who have made huge contributions to the development of the market over the course of their careers, and who command universal respect among their peers.

This is a special award entirely at the discretion of GlobalCapital editorial. However, informal suggestions are welcome — please get in touch with Sophie Astles if you would like to make a recommendation.
