Strong performance within Healthcare sector as stock picking performance impresses


The Board of Daniel Stewart & Co., stockbroker and corporate finance adviser to smaller and medium-sized companies, is pleased to announce that it is continuing to strengthen its reputation as a broker and AIM adviser.

The latest Hemscott AIM rankings revealed a robust performance by Daniel Stewart across all sectors. The Company's performance within the Healthcare arena was especially impressive, as it jumped from 13th to fifth ranked broker on the back of client wins.

Daniel Stewart's reputation within this sector has been strongly enhanced by analyst Vadim Alexandre's impressive stock picking record. Vadim's outstanding buy recommendation was house stock Asterand, which was initially recommended at 7p in May 2008 and is now trading at 17.25p.

The Company is also pleased to announce that it has re-designed its website - which can be found at www.danielstewart.co.uk.
