METHODOLOGY
The criterias are:
• Recognition reputation of the firm in its market
• Team size, seniority of partners (or executive officers,
managing directors, etc.), managing director, chief
executive…, education training level of the associates
(or consultants, investment managers, etc.)
• Volume, nature and quality of the vases dealt by the firm
• Prestige, diversity and internationalization of the firm’s client base
• Team expansion and revenue generated by the activity
considered in the ranking
Rankings are established with the following tools:
• Submission form procedure:
We send questionnaires submission forms to the structure
already included in Leaders League rankings and to others
likely to be included. They are, in particular, invited to
provide information on their organization, their client bases,
their track record and their market.
• Qualitative procedure:
To supplement the questionnaires, Leaders League teams
conduct a large number of interviews, which enable us
not only to learn more about the firm included in our
listings, but also to assess the dynamism of the market.
Analysts and market researchers also have meetings
with a large number of companies’ executives (private
companies, funds, banks) who have the opportunity to
comment and provide fresh intelligence on the market
and on the advisors they are soliciting.
