- Thursday, 10 July 2014
KangaNews is proud to reveal the results of its 2014 Fixed-Income Research Poll, in which Australian institutional investors were asked to vote for the best research providers across a range of sectors relevant to their market. The poll – the fourth run by KangaNews – saw a first-time winner in the overall category as well as continued strong performance from some of the market's most-respected analysts.
Commonwealth Bank was the biggest winner, scooping top honours in the coveted overall category – which is separately voted, rather than based on a combined tally – as well as being ranked best for government and semi-government, FX and relative value research.
The other banks to win individual categories were Westpac Institutional Bank – with three top spots – Deutsche Bank – with two – ANZ and Citi.
