VOTE FOR YOUR UNDERWRITERS!
In light of the forthcoming second quarter and first half of 2019 league tables being published next week, SPACInsider is once again holding the Underwriter’s League Tournament! It’s been an incredibly busy year for SPACs and we think a little fun is in order and frankly, much needed.
Last year, Credit Suisse took home the prize, but this year looks to be extremely competitive. However, some healthy competition is a good thing. We hope you enjoy and participate in each day’s matches.
All voting is 100% completely anonymous (the settings won’t allow us to see who votes for what) and you can find all the details, rules, rankings, etc., in the Underwriters League Tournament page found in the navigation bar at the top of this site. However, we have also created some easy access buttons for you to navigate below.
Remember, the winning underwriter receives the 2019 SPACInsider Award and tee-shirts and hats of their choice!
