Brendan Wood International Announces America’s TopGun Designations

May 1st, 2015 by TopGun Press

For Immediate Release – New York, NY, May 1st, 2015 (TopGun Press) – This year the sell-side of the American investment business voted eighty five of their buy-side clients into the Society of TopGuns. Two hundred and sixty-nine sell-side professionals cast their ballots for the investors they personally believed to be the optimal leaders of thought in the industry during the past year.

“As in earlier years the TopGuns garnered the upper decile of sell-side nominations and we found no bias toward large commission payers or firms. As has been the case for several years the sell-side made informed and thoughtful choices of the Investment Professionals on the buy-side who capture their respect, independent of size,” said Jordan Novak, Managing Director, Brendan Wood International.

This year Brendan Wood International will be adding a new dimension measuring the TopGun Investment Brands in the business to the recognition process.
