Methodology (for a full methodology, click here)
Funding officials at the largest 300 borrowers on the global debt capital markets were asked to rate their top three preferred banks in one of three categories: services to clients, major currency sectors, and by product type.
By limiting the polling to this group, Euromoney has sought to gather the opinions of issuers that, through their volume of issuance, are covered by a large group of banks. They issue frequently, and are best placed to judge the relevant merits of different lead managers.
Scores were weighted as follows: Four points were awarded for the first choice in each category, three points for the second place and two points for third place.
When all votes had been submitted, respondents were divided into quartiles based on their amount of issuance over the past two years. The scores of the largest issuers by volume were multiplied by four; the next quartile by three, the next by two, and the quartile with the least volume was counted as voted. Through this method, more weight was given to borrowers that issue most frequently.
Polling was carried out from Tuesday March 4 to Monday April 28 2008. Euromoney received 74 responses to the poll from issuers.
This represents 12.7% ($0.8 trillion) of the issuance by volume of the top 300 issuers list.

If you have locked-up capital, now is the time to advertise it so that next time a distressed seller comes along you are in a good position to take advantage of that fact

Tim Frost, director of Cairn Capital, is one of a growing band of credit funds that think there is now money to be made from depressed valuations
