NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - May 27, 2009) - Institutional Investor releases the results of
its 2009
Asia's Best Sales Team rankings, an annual survey of Asia's best
overall sales force. For a second consecutive year, and for the sixth time
in the past seven years, UBS captures the crown as Asia's best overall
sales force, according to participants in the survey.
CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets jumps three spots, to second place overall. In
separate rankings, CLSA also claims four No. 1 finishes -- more than any
other firm -- among the 11 countries and regions included in the Asia
ex-Japan survey: Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand.
The sales team in second place overall last year, Goldman Sachs (Asia),
slips to third. Rounding out the top five best sales teams overall are Citi
(down a notch to No. 4) and Credit Suisse (up three spaces, to No. 5).
To determine Asia's best sales forces, Institutional Investor surveyed
portfolio managers, buy-side analysts, directors of research, chief
investment officers and other investment management professionals at firms
that manage Asian equities. The 2009
Asia's Best Sales Team survey is based on the opinions of some 1,400
individuals at more than 580 firms managing $1.4 trillion in non-Japanese
Asian equities.
The survey also ranks firms by sales performance attributes (Best
Management Access, Quality of Idea Generation, etc.), coverage of Small and
Midcap Equities, and Most Improved Sales Force.
Complete results of the Asia's Best Sales Team survey can be found on our
web site, www.iimagazine.com.
