Spi Awards

The definitive awards program for the European structured products industry

The SPi Awards for Excellence recognizes those from across the profession that strive for greatness, deliver innovation and make the biggest impact.

The awards have been decided using our independent data and we asked each participant to briefly disclose their achievements, innovations, and performances over the past 12 months alongside collecting consistent, core data that facilitated comparative analysis of competing banks.

Congratulations to all those shortlisted! (Full list found below.)

The winner of each Award for Excellence offered will be the participant who is outstanding in each category we review. Market share is vital, as is an ability to demonstrate growth, relative outperformance compared to other participants and the ability to adapt to changing market conditions and/or client needs, including innovations.  

Now submissions have been received, our team of researchers and independent jury will conduct a thorough analysis of each Submission. In conjunction with our market knowledge and research, this will be used by our jury, which I will chair, to make the final decisions and announce the winner.

Thank you for your support of the awards and we look forward to welcoming you to the event.
