LONDON—London remains the top global financial center, according to a study from its own financial district, but is outgunned by New York and Singapore in access to talent, while Paris is adding competition from the European Union.

The study from the City of London Corporation selected seven centers that feature in other research on financial hubs, such as Z/Yen, which consistently puts New York in the top spot and London second.
