Islamic Finance Awards

The Asset magazine is now seeking submissions for The Asset Triple A Islamic Finance Awards. The coverage period is calendar year January to December.

The Asset Triple A Islamic Finance Awards are the industry's most prestigious awards in what has become one of the fastest growing and most promising niches of global finance. The awards recognize the best Islamic banks and houses, as well as the deals that defined the industry during the review period.

The Asset adopts a rigorous approach in selecting the best Islamic institutions and transactions in the various countries. Point scores for both quantitative and qualitative factors are combined to determine the winners.

We welcome nominations for the Industry Leadership Award, in which you can nominate an individual or an organization that has made significant contribution to the further development of the Islamic banking/finance industry. In making the submission, provide us with the background about your nominee, citing their accomplishments and their impact to the industry.

The results will be published in an issue of The Asset and in TheAsset.com. Our best wishes and looking forward to receiving your submissions.

The G3 Bond Benchmark Review

Executive Summary

The Asset Benchmark Research (ABR) - G3 Bond Review has been conducted annually since 1999. It provides a wealth of data on the product needs of institutional investors and the market penetration of banks active in the G3 bond market. It also delivers a detailed analysis of investors' buying behaviour when selecting their counterparties, and provides insights into how investors think.

We cover over 400 international institutional investors, including international and Asian-based asset managers, banks, private banks, insurance companies, and hedge funds active in the G3 bond market.

The data sets cover sales, research, and trading activities and include the best individuals in sales, trading, and research. Qualitative data is also presented. The review is conducted during the first half of the year.

Methodology

The ABR - G3 Bond Review is designed to accommodate the requirements of the respondents. Our questionnaire is meticulously crafted, capitalizing on a deep knowledge of the industry and close ties with content specialists, enabling us to create a high-level, relevant survey.

Our dedicated research team first reaches out to potential participants, introducing them to the scope and purpose of the review and directing them to The Asset App. Qualitative feedback and observations are transcribed and reported alongside the quantitative output, giving subscribers detailed, actionable results.

Awards

Best of The Sellside

As part of the annual ABR - G3 Bond Review, Asset Benchmark Research asks more than 500 investors worldwide to nominate the top sellside individuals in debt capital markets, debt syndicates, research (analysts and economists/ strategists), sales, and trading. All verified nominations of sellside individuals are weighted and ranked accordingly. Based on the number of votes received, the top-ranked in each category are announced in The Asset App, TheAsset.com, and The Asset magazine.

Top Sellside Firms in the Secondary Market

The ranking of the Top Sellside Firms in the Secondary Market in G3 bonds is determined by the number of votes each firm receives from the investors in each market covered. The ranking is generated based on the Local Currency Bond Benchmark Review.

Most Astute Investors

The Best Sellside Individuals, in turn, are asked to nominate their top Astute Investors in terms of their knowledge of the markets, acumen in making investment decisions, and/or trading skills. All verified nominations of investors are weighted and ranked accordingly. Based on the number of votes received, the top-ranked Astute Investors in each market are announced in The Asset App, TheAsset.com, and The Asset magazine.

Top Investment Houses

Asset Benchmark Research ranks the Top Investment Houses in G3 bonds based on the number of votes the houses receive from the sellside as well as the number of votes won by their Most Astute Investors. All votes are also subject to a weighting methodology. The top-ranked houses by market are announced in The Asset App, TheAsset.com, and The Asset magazine.
