Alpha magazine re-tabulates findings of Institutional Investor's 2005 All-Asia Research Team

Alpha Magazine re-tabulated the findings of Institutional Investor's 2005 All-Asia Research Team, in order to ascertain the brokerage firms that provide the best Asian equity research according to Hedge Fund managers. For this they focused only on those votes that were cast by hedge fund managers. The total exposure of these funds in Asian equities is almost $55 billion. The re-tabulated results threw up 17 winners amongst the total considered industry of 29 country and macro research categories in the complete All-Asia Research Team. UBS undoubtedly leads the hedge funds voters list with the greatest number of team positions. Goldman Sachs (Asia) stood second with 11 team positions. Other leading voters comprised CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets, Morgan Stanley and Smith Barney Citigroup. The key to success of hedge funds is a strong research, proper analysis and reliable number-crunching. This formed the basis on which the winners were selected. Biz.yahoo.com reports:

“Among hedge fund voters, UBS takes the greatest number of team positions (13), just as it did in the overall All-Asia Research Team, where it had 28. In second place, with 11 team positions, was Goldman Sachs (Asia), which ranked sixth (with 14 positions) in the All-Asia team.”
