Frankfurt am Main, July 8th 2010
The sixth annual “Germany, Central Europe, Central Asia & Turkey” Midcap Event took place on June 29th and 30th in Paris. The two day conference was well-attended and received by both mainly French institutional investors and listed companies. Close Brothers Seydler Bank AG sponsored the event as exclusive German bank with 21 corporate mandates represented.
Management from over 40 companies met investors in around 300 individual or small group meetings at this year’s two day conference, which was geared towards bringing small and mid capitalization companies listed in Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Poland and Turkey together with French institutional investors. These companies were also given the opportunity to meet with investor contacts of Close Brothers Seydler Bank AG on an individual basis during the event.
René Parmantier, Board Member for Markets, comments “In the current investment environment, we believe that investors are looking for attractive stock ideas, especially those companies with solid management and business models. We wanted to give our Designated Sponsoring clients an ideal platform at this Midcap Event to present their equity stories to French investors.”
The Midcap conference was organised in cooperation with CF&B Communication, the independent financial communications consultancy based in Paris.
