UBS retains lead as Institutional Investor's Top Global Equity Research Firm of the Year

For the second consecutive year, UBS has been named Institutional Investor's Top Global Equity Research Firm.

Zurich, 27 November 2018 – For the second consecutive year, UBS has been named Institutional Investor's Top Global Equity Research Firm, retaining the #1 spot in the annual ranking and having been in seventh place in 2013. The ranking, based on votes from buy-side analysts and portfolio managers, is a testament to the value that UBS analysts and its Research platform bring to clients globally.

Clients voted for their preferred research analysts and teams in each region. Together, this resulted in UBS holding 157 leading positions across the world, ranking well ahead of peers.

"We'd like to thank our clients for once again recognizing our top-rated analysts and the strength of our Equity Research offering through their votes,” said Juan Luis Perez, Group Head Research, UBS Evidence Lab and Data Analytics. “The results of the Institutional Investor survey underscores how effective our strategy and investments have been in creating a Research platform that is truly differentiated and invaluable to clients everywhere.”

“We are very proud of our analysts and grateful for our clients' continued recognition of the UBS method of question-driven, evidence-based research," said Barry Hurewitz, Global Head of UBS Evidence Lab Innovations and formerly Global Research COO. "We have the best analysts in the industry, and armed with resources such as UBS Evidence Lab, they are in the best position to identify the questions and create the research that has the greatest impact on investors."

Since its formation in 2014, UBS Research has published thousands of Evidence Lab reports. Across 45 specialized areas, UBS Evidence Lab experts harvest, cleanse and connect billions of data items each month.

The move of UBS Evidence Lab into the broader Investment Bank, from within the Research area, allows clients direct access to the same insight-ready datasets that UBS analysts use.

"We are now in prime position to take our offering to the next level,” said Perez. “With the power of our talent and UBS Evidence Lab, we’re confident in our ability to drive further momentum in Equity Research into 2019 and years to come."

Volia Call Center in Khmelnitsky: two years of successful service development

The catalyst for innovative processes of work with the company's subscribers was the Volia call center in Khmelnitsky.

Two years ago, VOLIA opened its own flagship call center in the regional center in order to ensure high standards of service and to resolve issues as quickly as possible. Best practices in the global service market were introduced here. The company has invested more than $ 1 million into the new call center and also introduced software from an industry leader.

The company was able to ensure stable operation of the first line of communication with subscribers, which is independent of third parties. The Khmelnytsky call-center is developing rapidly, which has allowed to improve the speed of processing of subscriber appeals and to improve their quality. Now all incoming calls are handled independently, and the average waiting time in the queue is reduced to 30 seconds - for telecom - a good result. Two years of work have shown that the calls received by our own call center are processed faster and better than the outsourcing center.

Currently, the Khmelnytsky Call Center handles over 135,000 incoming calls per month. By the end of the year it is planned to reach 150 000. At the same time, the quality of service is increasing: more and more questions are solved in one call.

On the basis of the Khmelnytsky Call-Center VOLIA also organized an innovative project of developing active sales channels of its services - telemarketing. For this purpose, new training programs were introduced, new conversation cards, simulators, tests were developed - all tools that help to become a sales guru. Now there is a service for attracting new subscribers.

New tasks and increased services have become a challenge for the staff of the center, which is constantly updated with young ambitious employees. For them the company opens new opportunities and development zones. Khmelnitsky Center staff has many successful cases, dozens of plans completed, and even several victories.

In particular, Zabolotnaya Nina, the head of the Khmelnytsky Call Center, became the winner of the national award for achievements in the DzWinner contact center industry.

Volia is now in the heart of Melitopol

Volia opened the Center for Modern Technologies (CCT) on September 6, 2018 in the central square of Melitopol at Bohdan Khmelnytsky Ave., 36. The city center is a decent place to represent a company that provides most of the residents of the city and district with modern telecommunication services. By the way, it is now convenient for them to get to the CCT - after all, there is a transport interchange.

Not only did the residence permit of TsST, which used to be located on 50th Anniversary of Victory Avenue, be changed. The new center is more spacious and comfortable. At the high workplace at the entrance guests are welcomed by the administrator. He, finding out what brought a person to the center, tells which consultant is better to contact.

The Center for Modern Technologies is the point of communication of the company with the residents of the city, where the Volia brand “comes to life” for people, because it is represented by our employees. The company wants to be closer to the residents - this is the main reason for the relocation of the center. Our consultants are not just connoisseurs of telecommunication services, they are ready to advise, reassure, persuade, so that a person leaves us with a good mood. For example, to help choose the most appropriate set of services for the subscriber. After all, all the company's services include a variety of basic and additional packages. For example, which Internet connection is fixed or mobile, which is suitable only for surfing the net or for comfortable viewing of movies in HD format? Do you need additional "chips" such as fixed IP, antivirus protection or the ability to work on the network at hyperspeed? Does the subscriber want to watch TV programs only on TV or on a computer and also on a mobile gadget? This is all possible for our customers. It is clear that the cost of services is different and the consultant helps the visitor to find the package that is optimal for him. Now they can communicate in the comfortable premises of the new Center for Advanced Technologies, where all the services can be tested ”, - says director of the Melitopol Branch Andrew Dzhur.

CCT Schedule: Monday-Friday, 9am - 6pm, Saturday, Sunday - weekends.

There are now 54 Volia Modern Technology Centers operating across Ukraine. Over the last three years, the company has invested 10 million UAH in their development.
