The Champions League of investment banking:
US firms maintain their dominance of the global investment banking industry, according to a new table put together by Euromoney. But which CEOs have provided the best value to shareholders? Clive Horwood, Alex Chambers and Jethro Wookey report.
Is the banking boom sustainable?
Investment banks continued to ride high in 2006 on good fundamentals and the added boost of strong hedge fund and private equity activity, proprietary trading and continuing globalization. Alex Chambers assesses whether they can sustain the good times in 2007.
Which banks CEOs deliver the best returns for shareholders?
Any football supporter will tell you that the team is usually only as good as the person who runs it. The same applies to investment banking. The CEO sets the agenda for the entire firm. It is a highly pressurized role that will culminate in their removal if the team they manage fails to perform. And the performance that ultimately matters for bank CEOs is to deliver returns to shareholders.
