The Group was founded in 1985 and has grown rapidly in recent years to become one of London's leading independent investment banking boutiques. Since inception we have had a close affinity with entrepreneurial clients, whether individuals or businesses, and on investments in entrepreneurial businesses. Over the last decade we have become one of London's leading marketmakers in small and mid cap securities and established a substantial independent sales and research activity for institutions in selected sectors. In parallel we have established a broad range of fund management products, mostly focused on absolute return.
