The
Financial Mail has been associated with the
Top Analyst survey since 1975. The research, which is conducted by Intellidex, is estimated to cover 90% of the institutional market.
This is through confidential questionnaires completed by domestic institutional clients of South African stockbroker firms.
"It's been a remarkably challenging period for analysts, but the market turbulence this year due to CoOVID-19 underscores, more than ever, just how vital their expertise is," says
Financial Mail editor Rob Rose.
For the fifth consecutive year, Standard Bank SBG Securities was awarded as the
Overall Top Firm. For the third straight year, RMB Morgan Stanley maintained its ranking as the
Top firm — Execution: Equities Dealing, while again claiming the top spot in the
Corporate Access,
Administration and
Sales Team categories.
Nedgroup Securities reclaimed the number one ranking as
Top firm — Execution: Fixed Interest Securities, an award it also received in 2018. Legae Peresec continued for the third consecutive year as the
Top firm — Execution: Derivatives.
Absa Capital's Khayelihle Mthembu was announced as the
Young Analyst of the Year: Equities, while Reezwana Sumad from Nedgroup Securities won the
Young Analyst of the Year: Non-equities. In the
Small Black Broker rankings, Noah Capital Markets came out on top.
A report on the 2020 research findings will be published in the
