US Securitization Awards 2025: shortlists announced and voting open!

Voting to choose the winners of GlobalCapital's annual US securitization awards has begun. The poll will be open until March 12.

Thank you to everyone who helped us determine these shortlists via the nominations process that ran between December and January. We were encouraged by the level of engagement and enthusiasm from all corners of the industry, with nominations up by almost 50% on last year.

Using those nominations, alongside our own research, we have put together a shortlist in each category. You are now invited to vote on the winners!

The shortlists are now open to vote for the winners. The poll will be open until March 12, 2025.

Shortlist published and voting opens: February 11 2025

The vast majority of the US Securitization awards are decided through a vote, in which the market is invited to have its say on this year's winners. Our full research methodology is available on the Awards Page.

You can see the full shortlist below, or download a copy here.

There is no cap on the number of individuals voting from any given institution, and you do not have to complete the entire survey for your votes to be counted.

We reserve the right to weight votes by seniority, job role, institution or similar considerations, and to remove any votes we deem invalid. You are not permitted to vote for your own institution or its affiliates. All votes will be kept strictly confidential.

Votes should reflect firm and deal activity for the 2024 calendar year.

The poll will close on March 12, 2025, and the winners will be announced at a ceremony in New York on May 15.

If you have any questions about the research process, please contact Sophie Astles.

In addition to the polled awards, we have three categories that dealmakers pitch for: 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. The deadline is March 12.

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 contact Sophie Astles if you would like to make a recommendation.
