What is a Financial Analyst?

A financial analyst is like a detective for money. They study companies, markets, and economies to help people and businesses make smart decisions about where to invest their money. They look at lots of numbers and information to predict what might happen in the future.

History of the Survey

This important survey has been happening every year since 1993. The Wall Street Journal started it to find out who the best financial experts were.

The very first paper copy of the survey that we still have is from 1997. A few years later, around 1999 or 2000, the survey changed its name to Best on the Street. This new name helps everyone know it's about finding the very best experts in the financial world.
