GlobalCapital Bond Awards 2025

Bond Awards 2025

GlobalCapital is pleased to announce the launch of the 2025 Bond Awards. Now in their 18th year, the Bond Awards are the only awards dedicated to the international debt capital markets, with the winners chosen by the market, for the market.

The awards recognise the leading names from the SSA, FIG, corporate and emerging bond markets. Uniquely, the winners are decided via a market poll, in which industry participants are invited to vote for the borrowers, banks, investors, law firms, rating agencies and other market players that have most impressed with their acumen, dedication and innovation.

The poll will be open until April 4 and recognises performance between 1 April 2024 and 31 March 2025.

The principle of the poll is that borrowers vote for the best banks and bankers, and banks vote for the best borrowers and funding officials. Other market participants can vote for both. No firm can vote for itself. We are not just looking to commend the biggest players, but those which have been most dedicated at serving the market in good times and bad, and which have contributed to the market's development through their ideas and commitment.

Based on the deals and institutions that receive the most votes, GlobalCapital will publish a shortlist for each award category on our website in mid-April. Winners will be presented at our Gala Dinner in London on June 18 — the Wednesday night of the Global Borrowers’ & Bond Investors’ Forum conference.

The Awards Dinner will be a great opportunity for participants from across the market to come together to network and celebrate their successes over the preceding year.
