LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / June 7, 2017 / Extel, the leading source of Pan-European opinions amongst the investment community, today announced the results of the 44th annual Extel survey. The pan-European survey highlights achievement across the buy-side,
sell-side and corporate communities.

Receiving an unprecedented response,
Extel continues to capture deeper, more analytical data from all the key market practitioners than ever before. Over 95% of votes came online, with
Extel running from 22nd March to the 28th April 2017. Contribution increased nearly 10% with votes received from over 3,200 buy-side firms, 3,000 analysts from 270 brokerage firms/research houses, and over 1,100 of Europe’s largest quoted companies worldwide.

Highlights of the key winners from
Extel 2017 are:

“The 2017 pan-European survey has elicited a larger participation than ever before. The change in regulations imposed by MiFID II
are leading the equities investment community to re-examine established values and best practices. Unbundling of execution and research services will magnify the focus on the quality of services provided by the sell-side, and an independent source of validation will have a valuable role to play. With over 600 rankings and an
unrivalled depth and breadth of data,
Extel will continue to play a pivotal role in the equities investment landscape,” commented David Enticknap, Head of
