As the securitization market in the US has expanded and accelerated in the decade since the financial crisis, institutions have pushed the boundaries to include collateral and structures not seen in the pre-crisis era. For the first time in the history of these awards, GlobalCapital solicited pitches from banks that considered themselves to be innovators in their markets.
