Recent Honors Underscore Our Commitment to Clients
At Baird, we are continuously expanding our research capabilities to provide Financial Advisors the tools they need to customize wealth management solutions to help clients achieve their goals.
In equity research, for example, we are deepening our analysis in a number of core industrial and consumer sectors, as well as introducing research in emerging areas of interest. Since 2000, as many major firms have decreased research coverage, Baird has more than doubled the number of companies covered to more than 625.
Our commitment to providing objective, quality research has been acknowledged through several recent third-party recognitions. For the seventh consecutive year, Baird ranked as the “most trusted” and highest quality provider of research among all major Wall Street firms. These top rankings are based on a survey of small-cap and mid-cap institutional fund managers by a leading investment industry consultant. Baird also earned repeat No. 1 rankings in multiple categories, including “overall research and analyst service quality,” “greatest knowledge of companies and industries” and “most important research firm.” For survey details, contact your Baird Financial Advisor.
In addition, Baird research analysts were recognized among the best in recent top analyst surveys conducted by the The Wall Street Journal, Forbes and the Financial Times/StarMine.
To provide comprehensive resources to our Financial Advisors, we also leverage research from several leading national correspondent firms and provide robust research on mutual funds, fixed income investments and separately managed accounts.
