The accompanying article in the Sunday Times on 1st May alluded to the fact that firms such as Investec, who came 2nd overall behind Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein, "punched well above their weight". Commenting on the article, Mark Robertson, CEO of Blue Curve, said "Starmine is all about ranking analysts on the quality and success of their calls. There's no doubt that having good systems in place allows the analysts to focus on their primary tasks, and make better calls. " "It's a well known fact that firms such as Dresdner, Merrill Lynch, UBS and Deutsche Bank all spend millions of dollars each year on supporting their analysts with good systems, so it's no surprise to see them in the top 10. However, the fact that analysts at Investec and Panmure Gordon are able to compete in such company says a lot for the investment these firms have made in providing a quality support infrastructure."
