2017 East Coles / Transplant Australia Corporate Performance Awards

Sydney, May 26, 2017 AEST (ABN Newswire) - The 2017 East Coles / Transplant Australia Corporate Performance Awards Night will be held at the Ivy Ballroom on Thursday, 21 September. The stunning Jane Cho ('Elektra') will be performing her contemporary electric violin pieces on the night along with other entertainment (http://www.janechomusic.com/).

This prestigious annual event is voted on by around 60 prominent fund manager organisations across Asia- Pacific and voting in the 2017 Awards will be closing down at the end of May. Fund managers are able to vote now at http://secure.eastcoles.com.au/votenow.
2017 Award nominees will be announced in June.

In 2016 Westpac took out the Award for the Best Bank in Australia across the S&P/ASX100, whilst Macquarie Group was voted the Best Diversified Financials company. Goodman Group won the Best Real Estate Company, whilst REA Group was voted the Best TMT Company in the S&P/ASX100.

In 2016 in the S&P/ASX101-200 the Best Company in the Financials sector was BT Investment Management, whilst APN Outdoor took out the Best Media Company Award. Fisher & Paykel was voted the Best Health Care Company.

The East Coles Corporate Performance Research asks analysts from both fund managers and brokerage houses to score the S&P/ASX200 stocks they cover across 25 performance categories. The scores are then averaged to create league tables in each category, then broken down into S&P/ASX100, S&P/ASX101-200 and GICS sectors.

The idea of the Research is to provide a feedback mechanism between the investment community and the S&P/ASX200 to ensure corporates are more finely attuned to investor sentiment. The Research provides an opportunity for investors to express their satisfaction or otherwise with the companies they cover and show their appreciation where they feel value has been added.
