Institutional Investor Research Newsroom

 
 

Welcome to the second edition of our newsletter, designed to keep you up to date with regular II Research news. Recent survey activity saw All-America Research results published on 20th of October as well as Europe Research and Europe Executive & Emerging EMEA Executive Team results published earlier in August and September. In 2020, The Extel Survey was merged with Institutional Investor's European rankings. Exane BNP Paribas retained its first place from Extel in the combined survey, joined at the top by UBS, the first placed firm in the Institutional Investor All-Europe Research Team in 2019.

We have been very pleased with the general uptake in voter participation, considering the challenging year that the industry has faced. The appetite for high quality written research and Executive Team feedback has not diminished in the crisis and most of our broker clients and executives have reported an increase in productivity.

Conducting global surveys has been a challenge but we are delighted that investment managers recognise the value of our objective and independent process. We thank all participants for their contribution!
