DEUTSCHE BANK
| Tim Hart |
Deutsche Bank pipped last year's winner SG Corporate & Investment Banking to the post to claim the European equity award. Tim Hart's equity flow business--widely considered by peers and customers to be one of Deutsche Bank's biggest assets--won plaudits for the speed at which it assimilates increasingly exotic structures such as conditional variance swaps and outperformance options and offers them to a wider client base. But it is not just for its coverage of hedge funds and institutions that it runs away with the award. Deutsche Bank's corporate equity know-how is also highly-regarded under Serge Marquie, head of the strategic equity transactions group. The firm's reach within the region--spreading deeper into Eastern Europe and the Middle East this year--also gives it an edge with investors.
Other Nominees:
* Barclays Capital * Citigroup
* JPMorgan * SG Corporate & Investment Banking
