FirstCorp

Article Abstract:

South African merchant bank FirstCorp is gearing up to take on the new competition from European and US firms which are moving into South Africa. Although the foreign banks have the advantage of greater underwriting power, South African banks may be helped by the unwillingness of South African firms to pay large fees. The amount of M&A business around is limited by the illiquidity of the country's stock market and the dominance of large conglomerates. However FirstCorp wins many high-profile mandates and has high hopes for M&A work resulting from black empowerment.
