J.P. Morgan Ranked No. 1 for Research by Buy Side Analysts

U.S. buy-side analysts ranked J.P. Morgan as the most widely used provider of domestic equity research in four of the six composite industry categories covered by Greenwich Associates in its 2011 U.S. Equity Analysts study.

Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse essentially tied for third place in internal voting processes among buy-side analysts, which determine how equity research commission payments should be allocated among U.S. brokers and research providers. These firms are followed by Citi, Barclays Capital and UBS, which are also essentially tied in the analyst research vote.
