Bell Potter says the departure of two healthcare analysts before Christmas will not lead to a watering down of its research business as one of Australia’s largest stockbrokers and financial advisers.
The firm that boasts $55 billion in funds under advice has suspended coverage of Atomo Diagnostics, Genetic Signatures, Immutep, Medical Developments, Opthea, Neuren, Starpharma, Pharmaxis and Pacific Smiles following the departure of veteran analyst Tanushree Jain in December for a research role at Petra Capital.
