Going for broke
Article Abstract:
The broking services of financial houses with a international presence are becoming increasingly influential as merger and acquisition deals globalize. However, the shrinking group of independent, smaller financial houses claim that the diversity of the market and their flexibility permit them to secure a steady stream of deals in merger and acquisition broking. Large players are investigating possible new directions, including online broking. Some of the large houses are creating corporate broking departments. Despite these trends, there is still likely to be a niche for smaller, specialist broking houses.
