(Vienna/Mauren) On the 12th December 2012 the exclusive location of the Viennese “Haus der Industrie” became home to the 13th edition of the Salus Alpha Analyst Award 2012 – an event honoring analysts who have achieved the best research results in the Austrian Equity market. Salus Alpha is the main partner since 2011.

The laudatio was held by Günther Schneider, Head of Global Business Development at Salus Alpha: „We are proud of such excellent analysts, of their courage and innovation. We have once again looked for the best and we are proud to say we found them. Analysts who see themselves solely as advisor of the customer, thus, of the fund and asset manager, and who act accordingly have to be supported. At the end of the day you have to be more than just a good analyst to generate alpha.”

Salus Alpha and the Analyst Award have been connected quite a while. Roland Neuwirth, Fund Manager at Salus Alpha, is a 5-time winner of the Analyst Award. Therefore it was an especially great pleasure for Günther Schneider to present the winners of this year’s ceremony with their awards. The winners included among others Franz Hörl (Erste Group), Stefan Maxian (RCB), Thomas Neuhold (Kepler), Christine Reitsamer (Baader Bank).
