Down one level to third place is the Deutsche Bank trio captained by Georgy Ivanin. “His recommendations are priceless,” declares one backer. The analysts, who are stationed in Russia, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates, cover eight stocks. “Our top pick in the airlines sector is Russian airliner Aeroflot, which has underperformed the global airlines sector, in terms of share price performance — but its financial and operating performance, released recently, remains very strong,” Ivanin insists. The crew also likes DP World, a UAE-based operator of marine terminals, owing to “the company’s focus on high-margin development projects and deleveraging,” he says. The researchers urged clients to buy the stock in January, at $11.70, and at the end of May, it was up 35 percent, to $15.80. — Leslie Kramer
