UBS has been named Institutional Investor's Top Global Equity Research Firm, retaining the #1 spot in the annual ranking for the fourth year in a row. The ranking, based on votes from buy-side analysts and portfolio managers, is a testament to the value that UBS analysts and its Research platform bring to clients globally. Clients voted for their preferred research analysts and teams in each region. Together, this resulted in UBS holding 158 positions across the world.
“We’d like to thank our clients for their continued support and engagement during these unprecedented times and for recognizing our top-rated analysts and the strength of our Equity Research offering,” said Juan-Luis Perez, Group Head Of Group Research and Analytics. “The year required a lot of adaptation – we had to be agile, we had to listen a lot, and from the very beginning we understood that we had to update projections quickly.”
“The results of the survey are a testament to our vigorous client focus, which only continued to strengthen as our teams transitioned to working from home. Demand for our analysts’ time accelerated, with client interactions up in 2020 compared to 2019,” said Dan Dowd, Global Head of Research. “This year we saw an increase in the need to incorporate UBS Evidence Lab data into our research, to help analysts identify the questions and create a product that has the greatest impact on investors.”
Since 2014, UBS Research Analysts have utilized the expertise of UBS Evidence Lab, led by Barry Hurewitz Global Head of UBS Evidence Lab Innovations, for insight-ready datasets on companies, sectors, and themes.
“The combination of attracting and attaining the top talent and having access to UBS Evidence Lab data has been essential in maintaining our ranking,” said Dowd. “It’s necessary to have the best of both to provide clients with differentiated insights that help shape their decision making.”
