Equity Capital Markets

At Berenberg, the investment banking business has been built on the foundations provided by our equity distribution platform. The relationships with institutional investors from around the world created by our distribution teams have kept Berenberg at Thomson Reuters Extel Survey Number 1 for German Mid and Small Cap equities sales/research for most of the past decade. The professional experience of numerous successful transactions that our ECM team members add to this basic skill set allow them to offer our clients a full and comprehensive service that goes beyond the scope of a single transaction to form a long-term capital raising partnership. Team members have partnered many management teams through the IPO process and other capital market transactions.
