10.06.2013 Baader Bank achieves top positions in the Thomson Reuters Extel Survey for German and Austrian equities The Thomson Reuters Extel Survey published today reveals that Baader Bank, Unterschleissheim, has significantly expanded its position in the field of German equities over the last year. The Bank finished in the top ten of each of the most important categories in 2013. The relevant team achieved 2nd place in the ‘Trading and Settlement of German Shares’ category – an absolutely outstanding result. In ‘German Small&Mid Caps’ the Bank achieved 5th place. It also improved its position to 5th this year in the ‘Equity Research – Germany’ category. In ‘Research on German Small&Mid Caps’ the Bank was voted 7th. The Research Department had only existed for one complete year at the time these assessments were made. This 5th place means that the Bank has already achieved its short-term objective; in the medium to long term it is seeking to establish itself as one of the top three equity research firms in Germany. Baader Bank’s Sales team also performed exceptionally well. In the overall ‘German equities’ category investors placed the Bank in 5th position while in ‘German Small&Mid Caps’ they placed the bank 6th. It is also very pleasing to report that bank employees were awarded individual 1st and 4th places in the overall ‘Sales of German Equities’ category. We succeeded in retaining our second place in Austrian equities. Oliver Riedel, Co-Head Corporates & Markets, commented, ‘The results of the Thomson Reuters Extel Survey – the most important set of awards in the sector – could not be of greater significance to us, as they reflect the judgement of investors both inside and outside Germany. The results justify the Bank’s expansion of its institutional equity business, something on which we have been placing increasing emphasis since 2011’. Christian Bacherl, Co-Head Corporates & Markets, added, ‘This assessment of the Bank as one of the leading firms in the German and Austrian equities market underlines our strong performance and also provides evidence to our institutional customers that we have excellent access to investors.’ Nico Baader, Member of the Board of Managing Directors responsible for Capital Markets of Baader Bank, continued, ‘Investors are recognising Baader Bank’s efforts to become the number one broker for German and Austrian equities. The Bank plans to complete its acquisition of the leading independent Swiss broker, Helvea, in the next few months. This will allow us to expand our range of services to include Swiss equities’.
