Thomson Reuters today announced the results of the 36th annual Thomson Reuters Extel Survey at a lunchtime ceremony in London's Guildhall. Considered the leading benchmark for excellence in investment banking and asset management, the pan-European survey highlights achievement across the buy side, sell side and corporate communities.
The 2009 Thomson Reuters Extel Survey captured deeper, more analytical data from all the key market practitioners than ever before. Voting was conducted primarily online and ran from 23 March to 16 May 2009. It reflects the contribution of over 1450 buy-side firms, 170 brokerage firms/research houses and 500 of Europe’s largest quoted companies worldwide. All data, votes received and methodology applied were independently checked and verified by Deloitte.
Today’s Thomson Reuters Extel award ceremony was hosted by Axel Threlfall, anchor at Reuters Insider, in London's Guildhall and drew nearly 400 members of the European financial community. Awards were presented by Niall FitzGerald, deputy Chairman of Thomson Reuters and City grandee Sir Brian Pitman, former Chairman of Lloyds TSB Group.
The Thomson Reuters Extel Survey bestows over 200 awards covering equity sectors, economics and strategy, equity derivatives, and emerging markets categories. The role of insightful analysts and strategists, especially those who more closely identified upcoming market turbulence, is ever more highly prized.
