Best broker, again

CLSA Ltd. has again been voted the No. 1 stockbrokerage house in the Philippines, topping 25 out of 27 categories in the Asiamoney Brokers Poll 2016 (including the best local brokerage for the first time).

Recognized for its “differentiated, un-conflicted research,” CLSA Philippines was voted “Best Overall Country Research” for the seventh consecutive year and the “Most Independent Research Brokerage” for the third consecutive year. It topped the survey on research coverage in 14 out of 16 sectors.

CLSA also topped Asiamoney Philippines’ poll for “Best Overall Sales Services” and “Best Execution” for the ninth consecutive year and bagged “Best in Sales Trading” again in 2016.

Global investors voted CLSA’s head of Philippines sales, Alex Dauz, as the “Best Salesperson” in the country for the sixth consecutive year. Head of sales trading Ruby Lao retained the title of “Best Sales Trader” in the country since the category was introduced in 2014 while her colleague, Tom

Sullivan, was voted No. 2 again in 2016.

On corporate access front, CLSA Philippines was ranked the “Best for Events and/or Conferences” in the country and retained the title of “Best for Roadshows” and “Company Visits” for the third consecutive year.
