And the winners are…
Greenwich Associates announced its top equity brokers in the emerging markets – noting all have been rewarded for consistency and execution and research. Here they are.
As in past years, emerging market equity trading volumes this year have tended to concentrate with global bulge bracket brokers that maintain sophisticated trading platforms across global markets. Institutions often use the global firms as executing brokers for CSA transactions used to compensate providers of research.
“By comparison, the emerging market research market business is more broadly distributed, since the need for local expertise and access to local company management teams provides opportunities for local firms and regional and sector specialists,” said Greenwich Associates consultant John Colon.
