Renaissance Capital

Ever since we launched in 1995, our insight into the opportunities for rapid growth in Russia, Ukraine, Central Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa has made us the dominant Firm in every one of our service areas.

We enjoy the trust of many government, corporate and institutional clients and help them achieve their financial and strategic goals. We do this by delivering innovative solutions across the full spectrum of financing and investment transactions including M&A, equity, debt, structured solutions and derivatives. Our expertise extends to several key industrial sectors, including oil and gas, metals and mining, consumer goods, telecoms, media and financial institutions.

While we provide an exceptionally high quality of service to our clients for our people it means exciting opportunities to participate in our growth and success. Small wonder we enjoy exceptionally high levels of staff retention and loyalty. Our unique strength is in combining hard-won and detailed local market expertise with the very highest standards of operational and regulatory efficiency and integrity.

We’re bringing international banking standards and practices to the world’s financial frontiers and effecting huge transformation.

In Russia and the CIS alone we’ve raised over US$50bn for clients – more than any other financial institution in the region.

We set up the first and only comprehensive investment banking platform in pan-Sub-Saharan Africa.

The Investment Banking Group advised on some of the region’s largest deals with multi-billion dollar transactions including Gold Fields’ successful defence against a hostile US$8.1bn bid by Harmony.

In 2007, we were involved in six transactions raising a total of more than US$2bn.

Since 1996, we have completed 18 Russian equity offerings as a bookrunner – more than any other international or domestic bank.

While traditional banks are only just waking up to the scale of the opportunities in emerging markets, we’re already well established. We’re there already, and for entrepreneurial individuals who want to move fast, develop opportunities and build businesses, Renaissance Capital is the ideal environment.

The Firm is split into two main business areas: Front Office and Business Support. To find out more about the functions and departments within these business areas click on the relevant area below.
