Baader Bank and Erste Group Forge Capital Markets Alliance

Baader Bank and Erste Group have initiated a strategic cooperation focused on capital markets and trading businesses. The partnership emphasizes equity capital markets, primary market distribution, and deal execution across Europe and North America, alongside augmented research services for institutional clients. The collaboration aims to broaden the service offerings for both institutions' clients, enhancing access to a complementary array of offerings.

Ingo Bleier, Chief Corporates and Markets Officer at Erste Group, highlights the importance of robust capital markets for driving growth and innovation. He welcomes Baader Bank’s contribution as a valuable enhancement to Erste Group’s capital markets services.
