The European securitization industry came together on May 4 in London's Mayfair to celebrate their market's successes over the last year. Despite a year of great challenge, the European securitization market continued to innovate and prosper.
Perhaps all the bumps along the way help explain the superb atmosphere and excellent attendance with over 250 people present.
Most in attendance had to wait just a few months to celebrate their achievements from the prior year, but Rob Ford, partner at TwentyFour Asset Management and winner of the 2021 Outstanding Contribution to Securitization Award had to wait a little longer. Lockdowns from the Covid pandemic had robbed him of his moment on the stage in 2021 so, this year was a chance to put that right.
The dinner was also supplemented by the brilliant comedian, Naomi Cooper, who admitted she had no clue what securitization was.
The European Securitization awards are the result of an extensive market research process. Back in November, GlobalCapital first called for nominations, asking the market to put forward those it deemed worthy of inclusion on the shortlist. The shortlist was then published in January and opened to a market vote to select the winners. More than 35,000 votes were cast, resulting in over 50 winning deals and institutions.
The five exceptions to the vote were three pitched categories, Overall Securitization Bank of the Year, Private Securitization Deal of the Year and the Overall Deal of the Year. These categories were chosen by our editorial team and winners were based on pitches received from the nominees themselves.
Alongside them are the two individual awards, Outstanding Contribution and Lifetime Achievement, which recognise longstanding excellence and impact in the European securitization market.
Congratulations to all our winners and nominees, and huge thanks to all those who took the time to pitch and vote in the poll. The full list of winners and nominees is below.
