EuroWeek has named Daiwa Securities SMBC “Best Lead Manager of Yen Bonds” for the third consecutive year. The firm also won first and third places in the Yen Deal of the Year category. The accolades, published in the magazine's Review of the Year 2008, applaud the firm’s dedication to excellence and innovation.
In its justification for the awards EuroWeek observed how issuance in the last year “was fraught with danger as extreme volatility meant it was almost impossible to launch and then price deals with any real confidence. But there were also rare opportunities for the nimble and clever which resulted in some spectacular transactions.”
Keith Meekins, Head of Fixed Income at Daiwa Securities SMBC Europe, commented: “Being honoured in this way for a third year running is a major achievement. I am proud of the team for their dedication amid challenging markets and am confident that we will continue to deliver for our all important clients.”
EuroWeek, published by Euromoney Institutional Investor Plc, is a leading global capital markets magazine. Its hotly contested awards are voted for by peers who are asked to nominate their top deals in each category. The shortlist is then revealed to market participants who vote for their favoured firms.
