"Our Analyst Rankings show the most in-demand analysts covering the majority of UK-listed small and mid-cap companies"


It's that time of year again!


After another busy year of growth for our platform and another bumper year of quality research from most of the top Brokers and Research Houses across the city, we publish our fourth Annual Analyst Rankings.

We started these rankings back in 2016 when Research Tree first launched. Since that time our platform has grown to become an increasingly important provider of services to markets. We provide research and financial information to a range of investors from institutions to serious longer tail investors.


The majority of the key UK Brokers, especially at the small and midcap end of the market, distribute via our platform, and we are increasing our presence in larger caps with new partnerships with bulge bracket banks and larger brokers.


Our Analyst Rankings show the most in-demand analysts covering the majority of UK-listed small and mid-cap companies.


If you want to get a clear, data-driven picture of which analysts are being listened to in the market then our Rankings are a powerful starting point.


Our breadth of services has significantly expanded over the last year with an exciting new set of services we are now providing to listed companies and their Brokers. Our research feeds are not just accessible in our platform. They are now available across a growing number of listed companies' websites, as well as the London Stock Exchange platform.


These feeds ensure investors can access their research from multiple locations, personalised based on their entitlements, and fully compliant and secure. Ultimately all of this is geared towards making sure investors can seamlessly access their research wherever they are.


So who topped our Analyst Rankings last year? Let's find out...​​

Congratulations to...

Well done to Kartik Swaminathan of Arden Partners who jumps to the top of the Market Wide rank for 2019 thanks to his great coverage of the Tech sector.


Ben Williams of Liberum came in a strong 2nd place overall driven by his Financial Services coverage.


finnCap's Lorne Daniel had another impressive year, also primarily with respect to his Tech coverage.


A huge well done to the Research Team at Cenkos who managed to get two analysts in the top 5, and also to finnCap and Liberum for respectively getting three and two analysts in the top 10.



How are the rankings shown?

We've published the Top 10 analysts across the entire UK market, as well as the Top 3 analysts for each sector. Our rankings are determined by the level of demand for each analyst's work and are therefore based on real, tangible data taken from Jan-Dec 2019, rather than an easily spoofed voting system.



Why is it important for Investors?

Top analysts shape the way markets thinks about both valuation and risk. These rankings show which analysts were most in-demand over 2019, and who you should be keeping an eye on in 2020.


The rankings are based on platform activity and they break down the most read analysts across the market and within each sector.

An important note regarding Brokers who joined us mid-2019

We added a number of quality Brokers and Research Providers over the course of 2019. Our Analyst Rankings span the full 12 months of 2019 and so these Providers did not enjoy a like-for-like comparison of a full year's activity.
