Our Strategic Alliance

One of the great advantages our clients enjoy is to be a part of one of New Zealand's largest NZX participant firms, with a strategic alliance with one of the world's pre-eminent global banks, Deutsche Bank. The strategic alliance, whereby the Deutsche Bank Group will hold a 49.9% equity interest in CIP, provides our clients with access to a wealth of global resources, distribution capability and sector expertise, coupled with the personal guidance of a local market expert.

Key Benefits of the alliance include:

Deutsche Banks’ New Zealand corporate finance team and CIP’s equity and debt capital markets teams will work together. The combination of CIP’s established strength in distribution and New Zealand capital markets and Deutsche Bank’s leading advisory and global capital markets businesses, provides clients with an enhanced service and product offering. Deutsche Bank’s strength in the region is evidenced by its number one ranking for cash equities in Australasia* and number one ranking for mergers and acquisitions in Australia**.

• The institutional equities platforms of both organisations will work in an integrated fashion, to provide execution excellence to clients in New Zealand and globally
• Institutional clients of both organisations will have access to Deutsche Bank’s global research and Craigs Investment Partner’s institutional equities research team in New Zealand
• Craigs Investment Partners will look to access a wider range of products as the parties work together to explore the potential to leverage Deutsche Bank’s global product platform
