Industries: Leisure & Hotels – Third

Simon Champion & team, Deutsche Bank

Deutsche Bank’s Simon Champion leads his London-based team of seven to No. 3 for a third year in a row. The analysts cover 28 companies and are currently steering clients toward companies with exposure to the U.S. market, because “that is where we believe positive surprises will come through,” Champion says. The U.K.’s Compass Group, which provides food service to hospitals, offices and schools, and Carnival Corp., the cruise line operator headquartered in the U.K. and U.S., are among the stocks the team favors. Champion is “always happy to answer an array of questions — very useful in these times!” applauds one buy-sider.
