Corporate & Investment

Investment banking & advisory

Advice from people who have done the deal before, in this market

Overview

Mergers and acquisitions, equity and debt capital raising, restructuring and strategic advice for corporates, sponsors, family-owned groups and the public sector.

We staff by sector rather than by availability. The banker who pitches is the banker who executes.

Why HBI

Covered by people who know your sector

Our corporate and investment bank is organized by sector and staffed regionally. The people pricing your risk follow your industry every day, with research, sales and structuring on one desk.

We lend, advise and make markets, and we test each against the others before proposing a structure. Where those roles could conflict we say so, and you choose which one we take.

Good to know

How we look after you

Three commitments that apply to every corporate & investment product, this one included.

Documentation runs in parallel

ISDA, facility and custody documentation is negotiated alongside credit approval rather than after it, which typically saves several weeks.

Conflicts are disclosed, not managed quietly

Every mandate passes group-wide conflict clearance before engagement. Where we hold more than one role, each is set out in the mandate letter.

One coverage banker

A single senior banker is accountable for the relationship across lending, markets, advisory and transaction banking.

Questions

Questions clients actually ask

If yours is not here, a banker will answer it directly.

Typically above $50 million, though we work on smaller transactions for existing clients or where the strategic significance warrants it.

A retainer plus a success fee, agreed in the mandate letter. Both are set out in dollars or as a percentage before any work begins.

Often, but it is disclosed and managed. Where advising and lending would conflict, we tell you and you choose which role we take.

We advise on transactions involving our clients wherever they lead, working with international partners for execution outside our footprint.
