Daniel Ford巴克莱资本(Barclays Capital)买方说:“他是顶部analyst in the sector, bar none.”
Daniel Ford of Wells, Maine, captures the crown for a fifth consecutive year. Clients praise the Barclays Capital analyst for his grasp of “the more-subtle elements driving company and industry performance” and his experience with “multiple cycles.” Ford, 44, advised buying National Grid, a London-based utility with several U.S. subsidiaries, in July 2010, at 497.10p; he liked the company’s efforts to control costs and thus improve capital efficiency. By late August 2011 the stock had sizzled to 621p, for a gain of 24.9 percent that beat the sector by 13.7 percentage points.
