Unterschleissheim, June 23rd, 2017: The research team of the Baader Bank Group has achieved an excellent second place in the overall category 'Top Brokers Germany' in the THOMSON REUTERS STARMINE ANALYST AWARDS 2017.

In the individual stock selection ('Industry Stock Picking') Daniel Bischof ('Insurance') and Knut Woller ('Software & IT Services') were ranked 2nd in the sector and Volker Bosse ('Consumer Goods & Services') achieved 3rd place. In addition, Volker Bosse was ranked within the Top 10 in the stock selection across all sectors ('Overall Stock Pickers').

'We are delighted to receive proof of our competitiveness and endorsement of our scientific research and analytical methodology' says Christian Bacherl, member of the Board of Management who is responsible for the capital market business of Baader Bank.

Based on StarMine methodology, the Thomson Reuters Analyst Awards are globally seen as the gold standard in objective measurement of sell-side analyst performance. The awards recognize the world's top individual sell-side analysts and firms, and they can also be used by buy-side firms to identify the leading analysts at sell-side firms. The Thomson Reuters Analyst Awards measure the performance of sell-side analysts based on the returns of their buy and sell recommendations relative to industry benchmarks and the accuracy of their earnings estimates in 14 regions across the globe.
