All-America Research Team Leaders Round-up
Catch up on some stats & fun facts from the past 46 years!
Who has the most first place appearances in II's AART ranking?
Edward Hyman, chairman of Evercore ISI and head of its economic research team, has held the position of No. 1 economics analyst the most times. He has a record of 36 first place appearances on the list since it's inception in 1972.
Even as technology advances, and analysts have faster ways of producing and disseminating their research, the job of the sell-side analyst has remained almost the same, Hyman says. Over the course of his career, he stated that "the demand from the buy side hasn't changed, and almost no firms have the inclination to do research in-house."
