FinanceAsia’s Japan Achievement Awards are the industry standard for recognising excellence in finance in Japan.
We are pleased to invite Japan’s leading financial institutions to submit for this year’s awards.
Deadline for submissions is Monday, February 27, 2012. All submissions should be emailed to Amber Gordon ([email protected]) or sent as hard copies to: Amber Gordon, FinanceAsia, 23/F, The Centrium, 60 Wyndham Street, Central, Hong Kong.
Please contact Nick Ferguson ([email protected]) to discuss the timetable for pitch meetings, which will take place in Tokyo starting in late February. Also contact Nick for full details of this year's awards.
We will announce the winners towards the end of March. Winners of the awards will be invited to attend our annual gala event in May.
Banks wishing to submit for this year’s awards should look at the below categories, which are broken up into House awards and Deal awards. Please note that we may, depending on the level of activity during the year, ultimately decide not to award winners in some of the categories. For deal awards, please list the bookrunner or advisers that worked on the deal, not just your own bank.
