Speaking frankly... Leith Robertson interview

Article Abstract:

The Royal Bank of Scotland has reorganised its leveraged finance activities into one group comprising RBS Mezzanine and acquisition finance offices in the UK, Germany and France. The new group is headed by Leith Robertson, who believes that confidence in UK financial markets has been affected by economic instability in the Far East and Russia. Robertson suggests that a down turn in the high yield market may boost the mezzanine sector.
