Global Finance names the World’s Best Investment Banks 2010
New York, April 19, 2010 Global Finance announces its selection of the World’s Best Investment Banks 2010 to be published in its June 2010 issue.
Global Finance editors, with input from industry experts, used a series of criteria to arrive at their selections. These included 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 reputation. Deals announced or completed in the last three quarters of 2009 or the first quarter of 2010 were considered.
The last 12 months were decidedly mixed for investment bankers, said Global Finance publisher Joseph D. Giarraputo. But many institutions continue to provide the best possible services to their clients, and we salute them.
