Corporate Broking

 

Berenberg is the only bank in Germany where the best traditions of impartial advice sit at the very heart of the Corporate Finance business model. Our Corporate Broking service clearly differentiates our approach from the competition by offering strategic advice based on the needs and wants of equity investors. We aim to ensure that equity capital is always readily available by making sure that our clients understand the asset management process and, in turn, that asset managers understand our clients.

 

Our Corporate Broking service operates on three principles;

 

Independence

Unaffected by the fee-driven conflicts that can arise in the universal banking model, and without the pressures of a large balance sheet, we are able to advise our clients with an impartiality that our competitors cannot match. Client information is restricted to a very small group of individuals and protected by strict Compliance and conflict of interest procedures.

 

Intelligence

Our brokers have a wide experience in the equity markets gained from time served mainly as analysts, sales people and corporate finance advisors. Their networks are equally wide and, combined with the extraordinary market power of Berenberg's distribution business, this means that they are able to deliver an extraordinary depth of insight.

 

Integrity

The Berenberg approach is not driven by product placement targets, but by the strategic agenda of its clients. With a four-hundred year history, no further proof is needed that we are concerned with the long term. We do not build relationships with our clients based on next year, but on the next generation.

 

Our Corporate Broking service delivers in three areas;

 

Strategic advice

By connecting CEOs and CFOs with their investors, we ensure that strategic developments have the support of the equity markets.

 

IR advice

We act as a multiplier for the work of IR teams, providing both advice and practical assistance with all areas of activity, from investor targeting to presentation writing.

 

Market intelligence

As a major player in the trading of German stocks, with around 70% of our business conducted over the counter, we can give valuable insights into who is trading what and why.
