UBS is proud to achieve the leading position across Research, Sales, Trading & Execution, and Corporate Access rankings as part of the inaugural Extel 2025 Australia & New Zealand survey[1].
UBS achieved positions in all 19 categories across the Research survey, with:
- 8 teams ranked 1st
- 6 teams ranked 2nd
- 2 teams ranked 3rd
- 3 teams as runners-up
Extel is the only survey of Australia & New Zealand financial institutions that includes the views of both domestic and international investors with half of the votes directly from client panel reviews.
Kieren Chidgey and Marcus Curley, Co-Heads of Research Australia & New Zealand at UBS, said: “Reflecting the feedback of over three hundred local and international investors, these results highlight the strength of our overall market standing with the breadth and momentum of our franchise evident in our Research team ranking across all 19 categories.”
Michael Hendrie, Head of Global Markets Australia & New Zealand at UBS, said: “To achieve this result in today’s competitive environment is a testament to the quality of our team and importance of a global organisation that connects clients across Markets, Research and Corporate Access. The culmination of all sectors comes together at the annual UBS Australasia Conference, one of the largest investor events of its kind in Australia.”
David Enticknap, CEO at Extel, said: “We were delighted with the response to our inaugural Australia and New Zealand survey of equities and corporate issuers. Long believing that the highly competitive Australian equities market deserved its own dedicated set of data, the interest that we have seen in the project has supported this belief. We have seen over 50% of the contributions direct from the buy-side from their panel votes, which brings a significant level of integrity to the data set. Our congratulations go to UBS for being the first firm to top the new ANZ table.”
