NEW YORK, Oct. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

Evercore ISI was recognized as the top ranked independent firm in Institutional Investor's All-America Equity Research survey for the fifth consecutive year.  The firm was ranked #4 overall marking the fifth year in a row that the team placed in the top 5 firms in the survey.  On a weighted basis (where a higher weighting is assigned to a #1 position and a lower weighting is assigned to a runner-up position) Evercore ISI was again ranked #2, second to J.P. Morgan.  This year also marks the 38^th time Ed Hyman, Evercore ISI's founder and Chairman, has been ranked #1 in Economics; no other analyst in the history of the survey has achieved this sustained recognition for commitment to quality and client service.

The 2018 All-America Research Team reflects the opinions of 3,900 individuals from more than 1,359 buy-side firms which collectively manage an estimated $13 trillion in U.S. equities, according to the magazine.

Ed Hyman said, "I say this every year, but it's as true today as ever.  Providing consistently great insights to our clients is a team sport.  We have great analysts producing great research, but these results also reflect our excellent sales and trading teams behind them.  But most of all, we thank our clients for their support."

Mike Paliotta, CEO of Evercore ISI, said, "The market for research services is intensely competitive and changing rapidly.  Investors are becoming increasingly discerning and selective in choosing research that adds value to their investment process.  Ed founded the firm with a belief that investors will always value high quality and independent research delivered with service tailored to their needs.  Our entire team remains committed to that fundamental belief and we are gratified by our clients' recognition of that commitment."

"We are extremely pleased and thankful to have received this extraordinary level of recognition from our clients," said John Weinberg, Evercore's Executive Chairman.  Ralph Schlosstein, Evercore's President and Chief Executive Officer added, "We are committed to providing our clients with world class independent research, as we believe this intellectual capital strengthens our ability to serve our corporate, institutional investor and high net worth clients globally."
