Extel

For over 50 years, Extel (formerly Institutional Investor Research) has been conducting independent research surveys with global investment professionals who evaluate and determine the best performing sell-side service providers, asset managers and CEOs, CFOs, IROs and IR Programs across Europe, Emerging EMEA, Asia Pacific, North America and Latin America. The research data independently captures evaluations of companies, investment professionals and executives from investment managers, banks, research providers and corporate issuers, to deliver detailed peer-to-peer comparative analyses every year; the feedback helps inform strategic decision making and improve resource and process management.

Our highly recognized survey based research produces an independent evaluation of quality across key markets and stakeholder groups – with rankings for top global sell-side research teams and corporate executives setting the industry standard. With the acquisition of Extel in 2018, the Institutional Investor Research portfolio expanded further to produce an advisory service which includes IR perception and peer benchmark insights, market trends and data analytics.

We evolve with our clients, providing objectivity and transparency, show casing best practice and delivering relative performance assessments for companies by sector and region. Over 30,000 global investment professionals and around 3,000 corporate issuers contribute regularly across our 6 regional research studies and share their unbiased and candid views to enable effective decision making and better resource allocation.‎

Our mission is to be the first-choice and independent validation source of qualitative market intelligence for Equities, Fixed Income and Corporate Executive Team performance globally.
