Our Equity Capital Markets team provides structuring and execution capabilities for primary and secondary equity and quasi-equity offerings. These include IPOs, non pre-emptive cash and vendor placings, open offers, rights issues, accelerated bookbuilds, block trades and public market M&A transactions.

The Equity Capital Markets team has in depth experience advising companies on equity issuance across a wide range of industry sectors. The team raises capital in both the public and private markets from a broad spectrum of investors drawing on our UK, European and US distribution capabilities. We act as Sponsor to our corporate clients in relation to Official List transactions and Nominated Adviser (NOMAD) in relation to AIM transactions.

We have a strong track record as a co-lead manager for larger UK IPOs, working alongside “bulge bracket” investment banks in larger equity market transactions, where the strength of our research and our relationships with mid-market institutional investors is highly valued.

Our objective is always to build a broad spread of high quality, knowledgeable investors for our clients. The breadth of our Equity and Corporate Broking businesses consistently provides us with insight into the thinking of institutional investors which informs the advice we provide our clients.

In our role as a Corporate Broker we also play an active role in managing the aftermarket for new issues. Our Sales and Research teams ensure that investors are kept up to date with our clients’ development, ensuring that they will be well positioned to undertake any further issuance in the future.
