Global Finance names the World’s Best Investment Banks 2012
NEW YORK, February 17, 2012
Global Finance
announces the winners of the World’s Best Investment Banks 2012 Awards, to be published in its April2012 issue.
“The definition of success in investment banking became more complicated in the frenetic markets of last year,” said Joseph D. Giarraputo, publisher of
Global Finance
. In a year when investment banks generally redefined success as “survival”, simply being able to raise equity or debt capital at all, or just being able to prevent an M&A deal from falling through, became recognized as the overarching mark of success.
Global Finance
editors, with input from industry experts, used a series of criteriaincluding market share, number and size of deals, service and advice, structuring capabilities, distribution network, efforts to address market conditions, innovation, pricing, after-market performance of underwritings and market reputationto select the winners. Deals announced or completed in 2011 were considered
An Awards Ceremony for all winners will be conducted at the same time as the World Bank/IMF Meetings on the morning of Saturday October 13, 2012 at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club in Tokyo, Japan.
