Carvin Lee, Commercial Lead for Asia, says “2021 was a difficult year for brokers in Asia. Inflationary pressures fuelled by geopolitical events and the ongoing pandemic has added further challenges to the sell-side, as they continue to address changing investor behaviours and regulatory pressure. When times are tough, true quality becomes more important than ever. Thanks to the valuable participation of the global investment professionals, our 2022 result recognizes the best performing sell-side research providers that helped their clients through a difficult year.”

Investment professionals from the buy-side were invited to vote during a four-week period; increasingly votes are submitted centrally from investment management firms to reflect their formal internal research evaluation processes. This has reduced the disruption to the industry and increased the accuracy of the final results.
