Daiwa Securities SMBC Europe Ltd has been awarded the Landmark Deal of the Year accolade by mtn-i, the Medium Term Note (MTN) information provider. The award recognises the innovation behind the world’s first Certified Emission Reduction (CER) Linked Uridashi, underwritten by the firm and issued by the World Bank.
According to mtn-i, “the Cool Bond franchise broke much new ground while adding significant momentum to the growing trend for environmentally linked securities.”
The award was presented at a ceremony held in London’s Imagination Gallery, and was accepted by Sunao Otsuka, Head of Investment Banking, Hayato Kino, Head of Fixed Income Structured Products and Vince Purton, Managing Director, Debt Capital Markets.
Sam Amalou, Head of Debt Capital Markets at Daiwa SMBC Europe, commented, “It’s pleasing to see this world first offering receiving just recognition. Everyone involved with the launch can feel justifiably proud.”
mtni-i Awards are decided by an expert editorial panel after an extensive judging process. The awards, which are designed to recognise client satisfaction and product innovation, are hotly contested by all market participants. Launched in 2001, mtn-i covers the USD3.5 trillion global MTN market and is widely used by the market for new issue information and longer term trend analysis.
