150x170 Investment_2013
New York, February 22, 2013 — Global Finance announces the winners of the World’s Best Investment Banks 2013 Awards, to be published in its April 2013 issue.
The past year was one of transition. Those banks that surpassed their peers did so by embracing reforms, restructuring, and implementing long-term strategic plans to succeed in the new regulatory environment. “Investment banks are now operating in a world where returns are expected to be lower than ever. The trust of one’s clients is now the most important quality that an investment bank can have,” said Joseph D. Giarraputo, publisher of Global Finance .
Global Finance editors, with input from industry experts, used a series of criteria—including 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—to select the winners. Deals announced or completed in 2012 were considered.
An Awards Ceremony for all winners will be conducted the morning of Saturday, October 12, 2013 at The National Press Club in Washington DC.
