Institutional Investor Ranks Europe's Top Research Analysts

With the region's stock markets on a tear thanks to robust economic growth, strong corporate earnings and record-setting merger activity, Europe's securities analysts have rarely had it so good - or been so much in demand.

NEW YORK (PRWeb) February 12, 2007 -- With the region's stock markets on a tear thanks to robust economic growth, strong corporate earnings and record-setting merger activity, Europe's securities analysts have rarely had it so good - or been so much in demand.

To find out which analysts are considered the best and thus deserve being named to the magazine's annual All-Europe Research Team, Institutional Investor solicited the opinions of more than 1,700 buy-side analysts and portfolio managers at roughly 560 institutions managing an estimated $4.6 trillion in European equities.

The 2007 All-Europe Research Team features some surprises, with six of the top 10 firms holding a different position than they did last year. This year's coverage highlights the best of the "old" and the "new"; that is, the European analysts who've been rated No. 1 the longest and those who are enjoying their first-ever first-place finish on the All-Europe Research Team.
