Johannesburg, South Africa – EquityRT was confirmed as the Platinum Sponsor of the 2026 FM Analysts Awards, set to take place at the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) in June 2026. The awards programme returns this year following a strategic relaunch through a partnership between the JSE, Financial Mail, and Krutham, signalling a renewed commitment to recognising excellence across South Africa’s investment research community.
The refreshed awards place a strong emphasis on transparency, credibility, and inclusivity, introducing several key enhancements aimed at strengthening industry standards. These include a comprehensive overhaul of the awards methodology, broader inclusion of sell-side analysts and institutional brokers, and a new membership model designed to provide deeper insights, expanded rankings, and sector-level analysis.
To further reinforce integrity, results will be independently verified by BDO South Africa, while an Industry Advisory Committee will guide ongoing improvements. The programme will culminate in a dedicated awards event celebrating both established leaders and emerging talent in the sector.
EquityRT’s sponsorship reflects its commitment to advancing high-quality, independent research. By supporting the FM Analysts Awards, the company aims to contribute to a more informed and data-driven investment landscape.
As the industry gathers in June, EquityRT looks forward to engaging with partners and playing a meaningful role in shaping the future of financial analysis in South Africa.
