UBS wins top UK award for community affairs

UBS has won one of the UK's most prestigious awards for community affairs - thanks to a long-term commitment to local communities on behalf of the firm and its employees. At London's Mansion House last Thursday evening, UBS beat fellow finalists Deutsche Bank and KPMG to win the major accolade, the Lord Mayor's Award.

UBS has received Dragon Awards in the past (in 1995, 2000 and 2002), but this is the first time the firm has won the top prize, which, if compared to the Oscars, would be the equivalent of winning Best Picture.

The annual Lord Mayor's Dragon Awards have been an established feature of the corporate social responsibility calendar for the past 17 years, and have played a crucial role in encouraging City firms to participate in the regeneration of local communities.

UBS is now the only firm ranked in the top three for equity research in every region. UBS continues to be the firm with more II-ranked analysts, across equities and fixed income, than any other firm.

The ranking puts UBS behind first-place Lehman Brothers and second-place Merrill Lynch, though on a weighted basis UBS ranks equal second with Merrill.
