Providing recognition for the nation's best and brightest since 1992.
Smith's Research & Gradings has been providing recognition for the achievements and fine work of municipal professionals since 1992. Smith's Municipal All-Star Program is the only program that consistently and prominently provides recognition in the municipal space.
Those eligible for the award can work at Wall Street firms, buyside institutions, rating agencies, insurance companies, and commercial banks, as well as independent research analysts – anywhere municipal credit analysis is performed.
Smith’s Municipal All-Star Program starts with the formation of Smith's Blue Ribbon Ballot Committee of Portfolio Managers. Members of Smith’s Blue Ribbon Ballot Committee are asked to nominate the nation’s leading municipal analysts to the ballot. Once the ballot nominations are compiled and verified, the final ballot is sent out to 1,000 institutional investors for voting, using their unique voter ID. Only Institutional Investors can vote for Smith’s Municipal All-Star Analysts .
Smith’s Municipal All-Star Program culminates with the Awards Luncheon in December.
Make the connection with the municipal market and investor communities.
