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

NEW YORK, Oct. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Evercore ISI was named #3 in Institutional Investor's All-America Equity Research survey, with 30 ranked analysts in total.  This marks the third year in a row that Evercore ISI has placed in the top 5 firms in the annual survey.  On a weighted basis (i.e. higher weighting assigned to a #1 rank and lower weighting assigned for a runner-up rank) Evercore ISI ranked #2 to J.P. Morgan.

The 2016 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 $11.6 trillion in U.S. equities, according to the magazine.

Evercore ISI has the second-highest number of #1 analysts, behind J.P. Morgan.  Evercore ISI's #3 rank in 2016 represents the highest finish by a non-bulge-bracket firm since 1995, when Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corp. captured second place.

"We are very pleased to achieve this high level of recognition from Institutional Investor," said Ralph Schlosstein, President and Chief Executive Officer. "This achievement reflects our commitment to delivering value to our clients through the most elite independent research, dedicated client access and overall client service."

Ed Hyman, Evercore ISI's Chairman, said, "This is a team effort, period. But most important, this is an opportunity for us to thank our clients for their support."
