Evercore ISI’s Jonathan Chappell has dethroned five-time champion Michael Webber as shipping’s top equity analyst in the annual poll carried out by Institutional Investor.

Chappell has been hovering around first place since the magazine began the rankings in 2015, having finished second in 2019 and third in 2018.

Webber left his long-held position at Wells Fargo Securities in August last year and launched his own boutique firm in Manhattan.
