Halo Investing to Receive Structured Investments Deal of the Year Award

NEW YORK, March 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Halo Investing, the first independent multi-issuer financial technology platform for structured notes, will be honored with the Prospect News 2018 Leading Edge Structured Investments Deal of the Year award on Tuesday, March 20th at the 14th annual Structured Product Association conference in New York City.

The award will be presented to Halo on behalf of Prospect News, one of the top sources of news about the structured products industry, and the Structured Products Association, a leading industry group for structured products traders and distributors. The award, which is chosen by an advisory committee of top industry professionals, honors the most successful transactions in the calendar year by deal size, innovations, and other notable criteria.

"We are honored and excited to be named as the top deal of the year, which demonstrates the power of the Halo platform and its disruptive influence in the structured note market," said Jason Barsema, Co-founder and President of Halo Investing. "We've set out to make the market much more efficient for investors and issuers alike, and we look forward to continued growth as more financial advisors introduce structured notes to their clients."

The Halo deal, which stood out from more than 13,000 other structured note offerings in the U.S. last year, was created for clients of Sentinus, a boutique wealth manager based in Oak Brook, Illinois. With Halo technology providing efficient execution, and issuer BNP Paribas providing the most optimal quote, Sentinus' clients were able to purchase this award-winning note with ease and the best pricing.

"Halo's win is a result of its commitment to delivering top-quality service to advisors and their clients," said Phil Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Sentinus. "The Halo platform has made investing in structured notes faster, easier, and more efficient, and it has quickly become an important tool for us to deliver value to our clients."

"Digital Innovation is at the very heart of BNP Paribas' strategy across all our banking activities, and we're delighted to see one of the firms we work closely with being recognized for this," said Franck Bertoneche, Managing Director and Head of Cross Asset Distribution Americas at BNP Paribas. "Increased accessibility to Structured Products is a vision we share closely with Halo, and we're confident of many more success stories to come in this space."
