KangaNews Awards 2012: winners announced
- Tuesday, 04 December 2012
KangaNews Awards methodology
Since their inception at the end of 2007, KangaNews's annual awards have always been based purely on peer votes. We do not employ an awards committee or ask for supporting documentation for nominations. Instead, we conduct a thorough and intensive polling of debt market users in Australia and New Zealand.
Issuers, investors and intermediaries are invited to vote for the best houses, deals and intermediaries in the year, on a confidential basis. In 2012 more than 250 market participant firms submitted their votes for the winners of the KangaNews awards, marking the fifth consecutive year in which the number of votes received has increased.
Because of the broad input from genuine market participants, KangaNews is confident that its annual awards are the best and fairest recognition of excellence that exists in the Australasian debt markets.
KangaNews Gala Awards Dinner: March 18 2013
Market participants are invited to celebrate the best houses, issuers, deals and personalities in the Australian and New Zealand markets at a Gala Awards Dinner to be held at the Ivy Ballroom in Sydney on March 18 2013. Tables for the dinner will go on sale soon. To register your interest or to make an advance booking please email Joanne Rosanoski: This email address is being protected from spambots.
