INTRODUCTION
Deal Maker of the Year Awards 2013
Finance Monthly is extremely proud to officially announce the winners of the Deal Maker of the Year Awards 2013.
Now in its third year, the Finance Monthly Deal Maker Awards have quickly garnered a reputation as an industry standard for recognising M&A expertise in corporate, private equity, investment banking and legal fields.
Through statistical analysis of the Finance Monthly (FM) deal database and votes cast online via the Finance Monthly website, our panel of judges shortlisted this year’s finalists, taking into account deal size, complexity and uniqueness. Through careful consideration our judging panel; bearing a combined experience and expertise in corporate M&A, private equity transactions, academia, and legal and financial journalism; have carefully selected this year’s winners.
2013’s Finance Monthly Deal Maker of the Year Awards celebrate the most impressive transactions in M&A, capital raising, corporate bonds, infrastructure and project finance, equities and restructuring.
This year’s accolades are awarded amidst optimism for global economic recovery and an improving M&A landscape. According to recent data released by a leading platform in the global and regional investment banking sphere, global M&A volume reached $2.10tr in the first nine months of 2013, up 17% on the same period in 2012. For US targeted
M&A the volume totalled $865.1bn, representing a 39% increase compared to the same 2012 period; the highest first nine month total since 2008. At Finance Monthly, we’re always interested in the people at the heart of these deals and those on the frontlines of their execution; the dealmakers whom make such transactions, possible.
The Finance Monthly Deal Maker Awards recognise expertise in financial, legal, tax, due diligence, risk, management and strategic advisory fields in multiple jurisdictions throughout Europe, the Middle East & Africa, North and Latin America, Asia and Australia as well as excellence for global corporate and private equity advisory.
So, without further ado, we would like to share the results of a lot of hard work, hours spent sifting through votes and cross-checking against
criteria data. These are the Finance Monthly Deal Maker of the Year Awards 2013.
