Equity Capital Markets
Our equity capital markets group provides a combination of experience, technical excellence, and drive.
We believe the key to success is proactive engagement with our client and its other advisers to forge a seamless unit, focused on results.
We work collaboratively with our clients, other advisers, and our debt capital markets specialists to find the best solutions for our clients' fundraising objectives.
Our specialists have been at the table for some of the most significant capital markets developments in New Zealand. We started with the development of the capital notes market through our work with Brierley Investments in the 1990s. We have worked through the IPO booms of the early to mid-2000s and are involved in many of the recent ECM transactions.
We often act on private placements, rights issues, and corporate debt/hybrid raisings. We advise on New Zealand aspects of significant international capital raising transactions.
