“ABN AMRO wins hotly contested award”
“Stocks are volatile, interest rates are up and the financial markets look downright scary. This is one of those times when good sharebrokers earn their keep. Even the best brokers cannot totally accurately predict the future or stop the sharemarket going down, but if they have done their jobs well, their clients should be able to weather the financial storms.
This years voting criteria covered quality of research, back office processing and investment banking performance”.
The National Business Review April 27, 2007
In 2006, ABN AMRO was awarded Best Investment Bank (New Zealand) by FinanceAsia, Asia’s leading financial publishing business.
“ABN AMRO performed consistently well across equity and M&A in 2006. The bank arranged four of the five largest IPOs and also worked on some key M&A transactions such as Infratil’s bid for Alliant …, Bacardi’s takeover of 42 Below, and Foodstuff’s acquisition of a stake in The Warehouse.”
