Three Years in a Row: Makor Wins EXEL Title for Best Special Situations Sales

London (ots/PRNewswire) -

For the third consecutive year Makor Securities has placed first
in the EXEL Investor Survey for 'Best Special Situations Sales' in
the European region. The honour solidifies Makor's position as a
global leader in Special Situations and Risk Arb. Once a breakthrough
result, the consistent #1 ranking now acts as a resounding
affirmation of Makor as a trusted brand amongst the investment
community.

The recognition is much appreciated by Makor which has been
working tirelessly for clients to provide excellent Risk-Arb
Research, advice and execution over the years. With the arrival of
MiFID II and other recent changes to the industry landscape Makor has
redoubled its efforts to produce unparalleled content to ensure that
investors are paying for a quality research product.

Co-founders Michael Halimi and Avi Bouhadana had this to say about
the accolade: "This strengthens our conviction in our model, which
delivers tradable real-time advice and research combined with
efficient order management."

This model seems well suited to the current market environment.
There has been no shortage of interesting merger activity this year,
and Makor has armed investors with the tools to turn each situation
into an opportunity.

Makor's unique approach, which increasingly utilizes data and new
technology, has been met with enthusiasm by the risk-arb community.
The firm has proven its ability to provide unmatched intelligence on
companies involved in mergers thus giving investors the ability to
effectively handle situations that effect significant price
volatility on a security.

In receiving the #1 ranking for the third year in the row Makor
renews its commitment to its clients. The firm is grateful for the
award and will continue to test the limits of excellence in product
and client service.
