Bank of American Merrill Lynch Leads in CEEMEA Equity Research; BTG Pactual Tops in Latin American Research
Announcing the 2014 Share and Quality Leaders in Emerging Markets Equity Brokerage
Greenwich Associates today announced the 2014 Greenwich Share and Quality Leaders in Global Emerging Markets Brokerage in a new report entitled, The Rollercoaster Continues, Greenwich Leaders Stay the Course.
Recent economic volatility in Brazil and Argentina and geo-political crises in the Middle East and the Ukraine have demonstrated once again the rollercoaster nature of developing economies and markets. Due to this inherent volatility, the brokers named as Greenwich Leaders in the emerging markets are generally firms that have proven their willingness to stay the course and maintain a commitment to these markets in good times and bad. This staying power wins the confidence of clients seeking long-term relationships while also giving brokers the opportunity to develop a level of experience and expertise that sets them apart from rivals.
“Brokers dominating in emerging markets equities share three characteristics,” says Greenwich Associates consultant John Colon. “They have proven their commitment this business, they have developed specific expertise at the sector, country and macro level, and they have established broad coverage across the emerging markets.”
