Hauck Aufhäuser Lampe Privatbank AG is one of the oldest private banks in Germany and, as a leading universal bank, advises both private and institutional clients in the areas of private banking, asset management, asset servicing, financial markets and investment banking.

Hauck Aufhäuser Investment Banking is one of the leading investment banks for small and mid-cap companies in the German-speaking region (DACH). Our Capital Markets team has extensive expertise in the preparation, structuring and execution of capital market transactions, primarily for growth companies in the software, hi-tech engineering, TMT and industrial sectors.

Our focus is in particular on IPOs, capital increases, placements and corporate finance (share buybacks, public M&A).

Our extensive knowledge of the specifics of the capital markets and our direct local presence with offices in all major European financial centers give us long-term access to the European capital markets and a trusting relationship with institutional investment funds, family offices, independent asset managers, hedge funds and private equity investors.

With the Institutional Research, Sales, Sales Trading, Designated Sponsoring and Equity Capital Markets divisions, Hauck Aufhäuser Investment Banking pursues a holistic equity advisory approach.

Our Institutional Research team consists of highly qualified specialists who research, analyze and evaluate small and mid-cap issuers in the German-speaking region (DACH). We provide proactive, detailed and idea-driven research for over 150 companies. Both in our regular research updates for our companies and in our transaction research (e.g. IPO research), we always exceed the norm and examine the equity story from all possible angles before we put pen to paper.

Our distribution approach to our investors combines local presence with international reach to the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Scandinavia, Benelux and the United States. Close and long-term relationships with the relevant fund managers and portfolio managers in the small and mid-cap sector make us without doubt the ideal partner in the primary and secondary market for issuers.

Our experienced and client-oriented trading desk ensures the efficient purchase and sale of shares based on orders from institutional clients. Our Designated Sponsoring Team, which is one of the top 3 providers in Germany and has the highest rating of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, provides share liquidity for the companies we cover.

Long-term thinking and sustainability, partnership and trust, communication and transparency and, of course, excellent performance form the foundation for our stable customer relationships. To this end, we combine the first-class, proven service of an established universal bank with fast decision-making processes and flat hierarchies of agile and entrepreneurial investment banking.
