Institutional relationships
First Analysis has built strong relationships with many of the world’s leading institutional public equity and alternative asset investors. A group of ten professionals is primarily responsible for these institutional relationships. This team interacts daily with the firm's investment research professionals to provide institutional investors with timely and meaningful updates.
The team is distinguished by its strong background in business and financial analysis. Nearly every member has a graduate degree in business or is a Chartered Financial Analyst, and some have a background in corporate finance consulting. The team has been recognized by Institutional Investor magazine’s Best of the Boutiques Research Survey, a distinction almost exclusively bestowed on research analysts.
