corporate communities
London, 12 June, 2012 - Thomson Reuters, the world's leading source of
intelligent information for businesses and professionals, today announced the
results of the 39(th) annual Thomson Reuters Extel Survey at a lunchtime
ceremony in London's Guildhall. Considered the leading benchmark for excellence
in investment banking and asset management, the pan-European survey highlights
achievement across the buy-side, sell-side and corporate communities.
The 2012 Thomson Reuters Extel Survey continues to capture deeper, more
analytical data from all the key market practitioners than ever before. Voting
was conducted primarily online and ran from 19 March to 4 May 2012. It reflects
the contribution of over 2,100 buy-side firms, 2,500 analysts from 270 brokerage
firms/research houses and nearly 800 of Europe's largest quoted companies
worldwide - over 14,000 individual voters in total, casting over 950,000 votes.
All data, votes received and methodology applied were independently checked and
verified by Deloitte.

different firms receiving nominations in Extel this year

research
* Growth of one-on-one meetings with buy-side and divisional directors at
companies
"The Thomson Reuters Extel survey 2012 has seen more participants than ever
before. Whilst that gives us an unrivalled set of detailed data and insights for
the market, it demonstrates how, in these challenging times, direct client
service, and a strong business proposition are truly valued and recognized"
commented Steve Kelly, managing director of Extel at Thomson Reuters.

London's Guildhall and attended by 450 members of the European financial
