Loredana Serra & team Morgan Stanley
Down one notch to second place is the New York-based Morgan Stanley trio led by Loredana Serra, who also guides the top-ranked team in Retailing. Described by one portfolio manager as a “super-bright perfectionist,” Serra and her colleagues upgraded the American depositary receipts of Chilean Coca-Cola Co. bottler Embotelladora Andina to buy in June, at $17.46, telling clients that the company would continue to enjoy strong sales growth, particularly in its bottled-water division. The stock had gushed to $19.74 by late July, a gain of 13.1 percent.
