About us

Renaissance Capital is the market-leading independent investment banking firm specialising in high-opportunity emerging markets.

Since the firm’s launch in 1995, our recognition of the opportunities for rapid growth in markets in Russia, Ukraine, the CIS and, more recently, Sub-Saharan Africa and Central Asia – allied to a relentless commitment to excellence – have made us the dominant firm in every one of our service areas. In Russia and the CIS alone we have raised over US$50 billion for clients – more than any other financial institution in the region.

We help government, corporate and institutional clients realise their financial and strategic goals through innovative solutions across the full spectrum of financing and investment transactions – M&A, equity, debt, structured solutions and derivatives.

Renaissance Capital is a private firm, wholly owned by our management and employees. This ownership structure helps us to cut through the bureaucracy and politics that distract many larger organisations, and make decisions locally and fast. For our clients this means exceptional quality and responsiveness in our service; for our people it means the unique opportunity to participate in our growth and success – which is why we enjoy such exceptionally high levels of staff retention and loyalty.

With share-owning ‘culture-carriers’ embedded throughout the business, our culture of entrepreneurship and an unparalleled focus on excellence is pervasive. Across divisions and departments our teams of world-class professionals are uniquely adept and agile in high-opportunity emerging markets – sharing information, developing opportunities, and delivering results.
