We’re delighted to have been recognised as a market leader at the CMDportal MTN/BM Awards, winning three prestigious categories:

  • Best ESG Bookrunner/Dealer
  • Best GBP Bookrunner/Dealer
  • Best GBP MTN Private Placement Dealer 

These awards celebrate excellence in the Medium-Term Note (MTN) and Benchmark markets, and we’re delighted to see our commitment to innovation and client-focused solutions acknowledged on a global stage.  

How these awards are judged

The CMDportal MTN/BM Awards are fairly unique because they are based mainly on objective transaction data, not subjective voting. Winners are determined by verified transaction activity across the year, including:

  • Deal volume and count: the size and number of transactions executed
  • Market share: leadership in specific currencies and structures
  • Breadth and innovation: diversity of offerings and ability to deliver bespoke solutions

Alongside this data-driven approach, positive feedback from market participants through interviews and polls reinforces the credibility of these awards. This combination of hard data and client sentiment makes these wins especially meaningful.

Our credentials and capabilities

We’ve established ourselves as a trusted partner to many in the ESG markets, offering a comprehensive suite of sustainable finance solutions that span the full product lifecycle – from framework design and structuring to issuance and post-transaction reporting. This holistic approach ensures our clients can meet their sustainability goals with confidence and clarity.

Marc Falconer, Head of MTN Syndicate, said, “In the MTN markets, we’ve earned a reputation for identifying unique funding opportunities and executing complex cross-border private placements. Our ability to tailor solutions for issuers and investors alike demonstrates the depth of our expertise and the strength of our relationships. Winning Best GBP Bookrunner/Dealer and Best GBP MTN Private Placement Dealer highlights our leadership in the Sterling market and our capability to deliver bespoke funding strategies that meet the evolving needs of our clients."

Caroline Haas, Head of Sustainable Finance Advisory at NatWest, added: “We’re thrilled to receive these awards, which reflect both our commitment to sustainability and our ability to innovate in the capital markets. At NatWest, we work closely with our clients to deliver solutions that not only meet their funding needs but also support their long-term ESG objectives. These recognitions are a testament to the dedication of our teams and the trust our clients place in us.”
