Our integrated approach combines expert research and distribution, a range of Investment Banking services, and an execution services hub that provides liquidity to the UK capital markets.
The Department
The Investment Banking Department provides a full range of corporate advisory and broking services, whether this be guiding clients through transactions (such as raising capital or merging with another company) or providing market and sector intelligence.

Dedicated Equity Capital Markets/Syndicate, Debt Capital Markets, Private Capital Markets, Mergers & Acquisitions, Sponsor coverage and Investor Relations teams work closely with the sector teams in supporting the firm’s clients.
The Sector
Our highly experienced team advises on potential equity transactions, assessing their relevance, structuring, timing and likely pricing.
