For Extel’s 2026 Emerging EMEA Sales ranking, we invited participants to rate firms on their sales teams. We received responses from 331 buy-side money managers at 223 firms.

Voters rated firms on 6 attributes: adding value to research, global context, idea generation, market knowledge and feel, service and responsiveness, and understanding client needs. Each vote was weighted by the voting firm’s Emerging EMEA commission range and the rating awarded to create the rankings.

The Sales Leader’s table was calculated by adding together a firm’s overall scores within each attribute to produce a table of the top ten firms.

Voters are required to meet eligibility requirements, and all ballots are subject to review by Extel’s Research Operations Group.
