Matthew Hansen will be joined by the former deputy chair of BNP Paribas’s business in Ukraine, in a new venture making investments in Europe’s finance sector.
Matthew Hansen says “It was great to know that it was possible to go and live in a different country and earn enough money to live and enjoy the place. After that, I became interested in international work practices and developed a desire to work internationally.”
Matthew Hansen, the head of UK and Europe for AMC, said: “The decision to invest in Kepler Cheuvreux was based on an analysis of their market leading positions in pan-European research, advisory and execution. In research, which is the cornerstone of their business, they have the largest research coverage in mainland Europe and are prospering in the post Mifid II research environment.”
Matthew Hansen, head of UK and Europe for Atlas, said his company would look to "build upon Panmure Gordon's existing strengths, to broaden the scope of its business and to create a high-quality boutique investment bank"."We are particularly pleased that Ian Axe will be responsible for this next chapter in Panmure Gordon's venerable history, given his impressive track record."
Diamond did not comment in a statement confirming the deal, but Matthew Hansen, boss of Atlas in the UK and Europe, said: “We believe there is significant opportunity for Atlas, in partnership with QInvest, to apply our operational skills and financial services expertise to enhance Panmure Gordon’s strong reputation and build a larger, successful boutique investment bank".
