March 27, 2008 - Evalueserve Circle of Experts has been selected as 2008 Top Pick for Boutique Asia/ Emerging Markets Expert Network Specialist by Integrity Research, one of the most influential firms analyzing the investment research industry. This honor comes one year after the acquisition of the Circle of Experts, formerly known as Nitron Advisors, LLC, by Evalueserve, one of the largest global providers of offshore investment research support services.
The Circle of Experts is strong in all industries in the Emerging Markets. We leverage the intellectual capital that Evalueserve has developed in executing over 10,000 projects for over 1,100 clients, including 7 of the top 12 investment banks and 10 of the top 15 strategy consulting firms.
Evalueserve has dedicated operations centers in India, China, and Chile and is well-positioned to service clients on these markets. Evalueserve is also setting up a new operations centre in Romania in early 2008, in order to provide local coverage of European markets.
Integrity Research evaluated the twenty-five leading expert networks on six different metrics: their ability to source experts, the skill with which they match the appropriate experts with client requests, additional services such as market research or conferences, the firm’s key compliance principles to prevent the misuse of proprietary non-public information, customer satisfaction, and overall network usage.
Integrity surveyed hedge funds and long only investors to better understand how they use expert networks, which networks they prefer, and why. The survey helped Integrity Research evaluate each expert network, and also understand the dynamics of the expert network industry itself.
