People and Business: Carving a niche
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.DAVID MARSH has quit Robert Fleming in order to become a vice chairman of Hawkpoint Partners, George Magan's corporate finance boutique.
Mr Marsh was the Bonn correspondent of the Financial Times before he joined Flemings four years ago, firstly as an analyst, latterly as a mergers & acquisitions dealmaker.
While at the FT he wrote a history of Germany's central bank - The Bundesbank: The Bank That Rules Europe. His job at Hawkpoint will be to spearhead their drive into Germany.
Hawkpoint was formed last year by the combination of JO Hambro Magan and NatWest Markets Corporate Finance. Although fully owned by NatWest, the 110-strong partners share 58 per cent of Hawkpoint's profits between them.
Mr Marsh is certainly confident that such niche operators can survive in a market dominated by the bulge bracket investment banks like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. "The age of giganticism may be reaching its peak," he says.
