Suggested change
Removed a fabricated "our analysts" authority-voice instance, and fixed the outdated pre-2018 AGM-centric compliance framework to correctly describe the current 7-month annual return deadline.
Why this is better
The article used a fabricated-authority phrase ("our analysts have compiled") implying a dedicated in-house analyst team that does not exist, reworded to the accurate "our research team" framing.
