THIRD TEAM
Eduardo Lecubarri & team J.P. Morgan Cazenove
Eduardo Lecubarri and his seven-strong J.P. Morgan Cazenove team tumble from first place to third, but the analysts continue to impress clients with what one money manager calls their “thorough coverage of the space.” The squad added London-based Laird to its best-buy list in August, at 127p, after the mobile phone antenna manufacturer jettisoned unprofitable product lines. By late December the stock had picked up gains of 36.5 percent, ending the year at 173.40p — 25.5 percentage points ahead of the sector.
