Global Finance magazine has named its 18th annual World’s Best Investment Banks in an exclusive survey to be published in the April 2017 issue. UBS was honored as the Best Investment Bank in the world for 2017.

“Investment banking continues to drive change,” said Joseph D. Giarraputo, publisher and editorial director of Global Finance

“Our annual awards recognize the banks that have the greatest depth of knowledge — and the skills and knowhow to deploy that knowledge to serve their clients.”

Ameriabank was named the best investment bank in Armenia.

Global Finance editors, with input from industry experts, used a series of criteria— including market share, number and size of deals, service and advice, structuring capabilities, distribution network, efforts to address market conditions, innovation, pricing, after-market performance of underwritings and market reputation—to score and select winners, based on a proprietary algorithm. Deals announced or completed in 2016 were considered.
