OREANDA-NEWS. Sberbank Investment Research, the research department of Sberbank CIB1, has extended its analytical expertise and will now offer Turkish research products to its clients.

Following the acquisition by Sberbank of DenizBank in 2013, Sberbank CIB is delighted to announce the incorporation of DenizBank’s institutional equity product into Sberbank CIB. As a result of such incorporation, clients will have the opportunity to receive under Sberbank Investment Research brand the materials from the newly integrated local Turkish research team, which has been covering the market for over 10 years with equity research on more than 70 corporates in addition to extensive Economics and Strategy insight on the Turkish economy as a whole. In addition to Sberbank Investment Research reports such as CIS Market Daily, Russia Economic Monthly, Economic Quarterly Update, Chief Economist’s View, Russian Eagle and others, clients will now receive more than 10 sector coverage notes as well as a Turkish economics review.

Sberbank Investment Research now has one of the largest teams of analysts covering the CIS capital markets and issues the broadest range of products. The integration of the new Turkish research effort is designed to follow the same principles of ensuring unrivalled local knowledge with a seasoned global perspective, guaranteeing clients access to cutting-edge analysis on all aspects of capital markets and industries.

The value of this approach was recently recognised when the team secured first place in the Institutional Investor All-Russia Research Team 2013 rankings. In addition to this, seven out of the Institutional Investor All-Russia top ten analysts were from Sberbank Investment Research. This year the team also achieved a number of top positions in the Russian categories of the prestigious Thomson Reuters Extel Pan-Europe Survey 2014. These included Sberbank CIB being voted Russia’s Leading Brokerage Firm and sector teams and analysts topping four sectors of the survey: Banks & other Financials, Economic & Macro, Equity Strategy, and Oil & Gas.
