Institutional Investor asked portfolio managers and sell-side analysts to name the best CEOs, CFOs and investor relations professionals at the U.S. companies they cover, and to evaluate these businesses on their performance in each of eight IR attributes, including accessibility of senior managements, quality and depth of answers to inquiries, transparency of financial reporting and disclosure, and so on.
The overall rankings in each of the four categories -- Best CEO, Best CFO, Best IR Professional and Best IR Company -- are based on combined buy- and sell-side votes. View the rankings at http://www.institutionalinvestor.com/Research/5985/Overview.html.
Survey results reflect the opinions from nearly 2,040 investment professionals at close to 680 financial services firms. Respondents from the buy side work at firms that collectively manage an estimated $7.1 trillion in U.S. equities.
