Thomson Reuters, one of the world’s largest information agencies, yesterday announced the results of its 2010 Extel Pan-European Survey, its annual rating of leading investment banks. Two of BG Capital’s analysts were voted Top-3 in the “European Emerging Markets, Ukraine: Country Analysis” category: Danylo Spolsky placed 2nd and Vitaliy Vavryshchuk placed 3rd in the individual analyst ranking.

The Extel Survey, an annual event since 1973 that is based on votes submitted by leading investment funds, sets out to rate the best brokerage houses, buy-side firms, and investor relations teams throughout Europe and Asia. Extel Survey Award winners are judged to be "best in class" in command of their industry, analytical rigor, and dedication to client service. The Extel Awards are highly coveted within the investment community as they represent the unequivocal, independent endorsement of each winner's audience and customers.
