Ambrian Partners Limited (“Ambrian”), the wholly-owned subsidiary of Ambrian Capital plc, was this week named the UK’s #1 team for Metals & Mining in its first appearance in the Extel UK Small Cap survey, with analyst Brock Salier, individually ranked #3.
Tom Gaffney, Chief Executive Officer of Ambrian Capital plc, commented:
“This is a remarkable achievement for Ambrian, to enter the rankings as the top firm in our first year of entry to the survey and less than five years after starting up our broking business. A true measure of our strength is that Ambrian polled 35% more than Investec or Cazenove in this survey and, despite coming third individually, Brock’s vote accounts for only a third of Ambrian’s total.”
Success in the Extel survey comes shortly after the team was named the top stock pickers in the mining sector by the professional stock market weekly publication, Shares Magazine, in its 2009 awards.
Last month, the Hemscott AIM Advisers Rankings Guide announced that — for a second consecutive quarter — Ambrian was ranked the number one stockbroker and nominated adviser, both by number of clients and by client market cap, in the Basic Materials sector.
