2019 awards: Send us your highlights!

The latest edition of PDI’s annual recognition of the asset class’s star performers is kicking off. Here is your chance to remind us of your milestones in 2019.

It’s global awards time! Private Debt Investor’s annual awards remain the only honours in the industry decided solely by the industry. After a very successful edition last year, we are hoping for an even bigger 2019.

We are getting the ball rolling by inviting you to click here to submit your firm’s achievements in 2019 so far. The deadline is Friday 15 November.

These reminders are, of course, no guarantee of success, but they help to ensure we have a full picture as we begin the process of deciding who will appear on our shortlists.

We are often asked how long we would like the submissions to be, to which the answer is ‘please keep them brief’. Many times we have received epics of literature, running to thousands of words. Our first thought is how much time must have been spent composing them, and our second is that we probably won’t have time to read them. So please keep your highlights concise – it will be much appreciated and is the reason why our form is not complex.

When making your submission, please state the category or categories you would like to be considered for. Here they are, listed in full:
