J.P. Morgan has been awarded the top ranking across all of Extel’s Global Research team awards for the third time, after making history in 2021 as the first ever firm to top all three rankings — a feat no other firm has repeated since. This year, it was once again named the Top Global Research Firm, the #1 Global Equity Research Team and the #1 Global Fixed Income Research Team. This marks the fifth consecutive year J.P. Morgan has achieved the ranking of Top Global Research Firm.
J.P. Morgan achieved top 3 or Runner Up rankings in 90% of the 224 Global Research sectors, including 100% of those in the Global Fixed Income Research survey and 85% of those in the regional Equity Research surveys. Thousands of global institutional clients weigh in to formulate these rankings each year, expressing their confidence in J.P. Morgan Research amongst a talented roster of competitors.
“2024 saw material geopolitical uncertainty and volatility. Our team was dedicated to providing our clients with thought leadership and guidance to navigate these dynamic and shifting environments.”

“2024 saw material geopolitical uncertainty and volatility,” said Hussein Malik, head of Global Research at J.P. Morgan. “Our team was dedicated to providing our clients with thought leadership and guidance to navigate these dynamic and shifting environments. We are honored by their recognition of these efforts through these results.”
According to Extel, J.P. Morgan’s high rankings reflected the excellent work it did covering inflation, central bank policies and global elections; the firm was one of the first to recognize the stickiness of global inflation and help clients navigate the markets.
“Just after the July labor report, we called that the Fed would start the easing cycle with a 50-basis-point rate cut,” Malik said. “As the only U.S.-based primary dealer to make this non-consensus call, this has garnered a lot of positive feedback from clients.”
Meanwhile, in equities, U.S. exceptionalism helped drive markets to new heights despite risks surrounding high valuations, a slowing labor market and geopolitics.
Stephen Dulake, co-head of Global Fundamental Research at J.P. Morgan, said the key to the team’s success was its ability to leverage expertise across the firm. “Given the scale of Global Research at the firm, the punchline here is we differentiate ourselves by intentionally collaborating across the platform,” he said.
In a memo announcing the results, Malik noted: “This consistent vote of confidence from our clients speaks volumes about your hard work, tireless dedication and deep subject-matter expertise. These rankings also highlight the strength and reach of our cohesive Research, Sales and Markets franchise. Thank you for continuing to deliver for our clients when they need us most. We hope you take a moment to celebrate this well-deserved achievement.”
