Evercore ISI named # 3 in U.S. Equity Research by Institutional Investor's All-America Equity Research Survey

NEW YORK, Oct. 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

For the second year in a row, Evercore ISI has placed in the top 5 firms by Institutional Investor's All-America Equity Research survey, ranking #3 among all firms and earning 25 positions overall.

The 2015 All-America Research Team reflects the opinions of more than 3,800 individuals from more than 1,000 buy-side firms, including more than 90 of the 100 biggest U.S. equity managers, which collectively manage an estimated $11.3 trillion in U.S. equities, according to the magazine.

Evercore ISI's #3 rank in 2015 represents the highest finish by a non-bulge-bracket firm since 1995, when Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corp. captured second place.  Evercore ISI also has the second-highest number of analysts and teams considered best in their respective categories, with 10 spots, trailing J.P. Morgan at 14.

"We are very pleased to achieve this high level of recognition from Institutional Investor," said Ralph Schlosstein, President and Chief Executive Officer.  "This success is a testament to the value our clients place on their relationship with Evercore and the quality of our research, client access and overall service."

"I am thrilled with this outcome and could not be more proud of my colleagues at Evercore ISI.  This achievement is a testament to our clients' faith in the team and to our success in bringing together one of the most talented teams in the business," said Ed Hyman, Evercore ISI's Chairman.  "Significantly, Evercore ISI is the only firm in the top 5 that increased their number of ranked analysts versus 2014 and is the only independent firm in that group.  We look forward to continuing to help our client achieve their investment objectives with the best investment research possible."
