The longevity and consistency of this recognition from leading global equity investors shows that the franchise is synonymous with high quality research. This year, BNP Paribas Exane was ranked in all of the 34 available industry categories (up from 33 in 2022) and continued to standout in a number of areas including:
- #1 for individually ranked Analysts
- #1 Specialist Sales
- #1 Sales
- #2 Corporate Access
We’re delighted to be ranked #1 Industry Research Provider for the seventh year running. Our sincere thanks go to our clients who voted for us to win in this year’s survey.
Ben Spruntulis, Global Head of Cash Equities, BNP Paribas Exane
Receiving this recognition, especially as we enter the final stages of the integration with BNP Paribas, is a clear reflection of a full year of hard work by our teams and of our ongoing dedication to our clients. It’s also testament to the quality of our Cash Equities franchise, as well as the continued strength and success of our core European Research business.
These excellent results again underline the strength of BNP Paribas in Global Equities. We will continue to leverage these strengths in our Global Capital Markets activities, both in Europe and as we deliver our ambition growth plans to become a meaningful player across the Americas and Asia.

The highly competitive annual survey is based on feedback from the buy-side, so the rankings demonstrate the strength of BNP Paribas Exane’s client relationships and the consistent performance of this business, not only over the past seven years, but also through this period of transition as the business enters the latter stages of its integration with BNP Paribas.
