"Our community has downloaded tens of thousands of research reports"
Today we launch the first Research Tree analyst rankings showing the most in-demand analysts across the majority of the UK small and mid-cap markets.
Since we launched just over 12 months ago we’ve created a platform that has attracted many serious investors and most of the key Brokers at our end of the market.
Our user base represents the whole share register of the many companies under our coverage, rather than just the large institutions.
Our community has downloaded tens of thousands of research reports and here we show which analysts were the most in-demand based on real, tangible data taken from March 2016 to March 2017.
Our coverage sweet spot is very much the small and midcap end of the market with deep and broad coverage from the FTSE 250 to the AIM. We are, therefore, proud to have most of the key voices in this portion of the market.
How are the rankings shown?
We publish the top 5 analysts across the entire UK market, as well as for each of the main sectors.
Our rankings are determined by the level of demand and the number of downloads across our platform for each analyst.
Why is it important for Private Investors?
Top analysts shape the way markets thinks about both valuation and risk. These rankings show which analysts were most in-demand last year, and which you should be keeping an eye on.
