New healthcare team to work from London

Hamburg/London. Hamburg-based Berenberg Bank has signed a new research and sales team to focus on the healthcare sector. The move into sector-based research will enhance the strength of its specialist research approach. “Despite the current market conditions, we will strengthen our business in strategically important areas,” says Hendrik Riehmer, personally liable partner of Germany’s oldest private bank.  This step will develop the Bank’s position with its global institutional client base.

The recently established team, which will be based in Berenberg’s London office, brings with it a combined 57 years of market experience and a strong research background in Biochemistry and Pharmacology.  The team will be headed by Andrew Holder, previously at JP Morgan, who will be joined by Alistair Campbell from the highly rated JP Morgan European Pharmaceuticals team. Completing the team are Frazer Hall, previously at SAC Global Investments and CSFB, and Adrian Howd, who was the Biotechnology analyst at ABN Amro.
