THIRD TEAM
Björn Jansson & team Carnegie Investment Bank
Björn Jansson and his team of 55 analysts at Carnegie Investment Bank, who repeat at No. 3, retain their enthusiastic audience of avid supporters: “They know how to make money for you,” avers one buy-side backer. Among the Stockholm-based team’s winning calls is its November 2009 reiteration of a buy rating on the Swedish depositary receipts of Autoliv, at 261.97 Swedish kroner, citing strong growth prospects for the Stockholm-based specialty auto-parts manufacturer. By late December 2010 the stock had vroomed to Skr533, a stunning 103.5 percent gain that trounced Sweden’s broad market by 81.2 percentage points. In March the team recommended Gothenburg-based Volvo, at Skr64.35, on rising demand. Through year-end the stock jumped 84.1 percent, to Skr118.50.
