The financial crisis dealt a particularly savage blow to the market for structured products. So much so, in fact, that it was almost at a complete standstill in the first quarter of 2009. In recognition of this, our structured products awards this year cover the 12-month period from the start of the second quarter last year. A full write-up of the winning houses and deals will be published in the June issue of FinanceAsia magazine.
