Warburgs vulnerable to SBC bid
Article Abstract:
The potential acquisition of investment bank SG Warburg of the United Kingdom by bank SBC of Switzerland would result in an operation combining SBC's strengths in trading and derivatives with SG Warburg's strong distribution channels and high profile client list. SG Warburg is considering the bid. SG Warburg previously failed in its efforts to merge with bank Morgan Stanley of the United States, with some observers believing SG Warburg is now in a weak and vulnerable position.

Warburgs keeps top spot - just
Article Abstract:
SG Warburg completed 51 merger and acquisition deals worth $11.42 billion in 1994, and was the top European merger and acquisition advisor, holding 11.5% of the market. However, this was down from 32.7% in 1993, with its reputation having been damaged by the failure of its planned merger with Morgan Stanley. Observers now believe that it lacks a truly global presence, and it holds only 13th place in the rankings of completed deals worldwide.
