Capital Markets
Communicating your investment case
Our Capital Markets team has advised companies in global financial markets for over 25 years.
We have interconnected, dedicated teams in 15 sectors across 5 continents, offering a genuinely international perspective.
We are one of the top 5 advisers in the London market advising 64 quoted companies. We have advised over £8.3 billion of transactions in 2019.
Sectors we specialise in include: Aerospace & Transport, Consumer, Financial Institutions Group, Energy & Natural Resources, Industrials, Leisure and Hospitality, Life Sciences, Media, Private Equity, Real Estate, Technology and Telecoms.
Companies are operating in an increasingly challenging and uncertain environment, with global and volatile markets, greater and more punitive regulation, increased competition, disruptive technology change, and broad and instant news flow coupled with increased shareholder activism. Against this backdrop, more than ever they need clear, expert advice to help them cut through the noise and communicate their value proposition effectively to the audiences that they need to reach, including institutional investors, analysts and brokers, financial media and other stakeholders.
Our team works with clients to develop and communicate clear, compelling investment cases to support their results and other regular capital markets communications and major strategic events.
We combine strategic insight, deep sector expertise and capital markets experience with modern communication techniques including film, social media and voice of authority thought leadership to deliver innovative campaigns to help our clients build a distinguishable, trusted reputation in the capital markets.

We help clients to communicate a clear and compelling investment case to support their IPO. Most recently, in September 2020 we completed our financial communications advisory role to the initial public offer (IPO) of THG, the Manchester-based ecommerce giant. The IPO was the UK’s largest ever tech IPO and the single largest stock market flotation since 2015.

To be successful, transactions need to be supported by a well devised and executed communications strategy. More than ever companies have to communicate a clear and compelling rationale for the deal to employees, customers, business partners, investors, the media, analysts, regulators, politicians and local communities.
