Lazards in pole position as Schroders gains
Article Abstract:
Investment banks have benefitted from the rise in UK mergers and acquisition (M&A) activity in the nine months to Sept. 1995, and this trend is expected to continue. The leading investment bank in this period was Lazard Brothers, which advised on nine UK public takeovers worth 10,693 million pounds sterling. In terms of the number of deals, Schroders led with 11 deals. UK investment banks have themselves been the subject of takeover speculation in 1995, particularly Schroders and Hambros Bank. It is unclear how a bank's relationship with its clients would be affected by a takeover.
