ABG Sundal Collier joins elite

The young up-start is giving bigger Nordic investment banks a run for their money. The firm’s CEO reckons its size and a commitment to local research have been an advantage in adapting to the changing climate of the region’s capital markets.

Rumours swirl around the birth of ABG Sundal Collier’s convertible bond business. “The story goes that there was an English guy, a convertible bond expert, in London who had a Norwegian girlfriend who was living in Oslo. When he decided to make the move to Norway, he approached ABG – probably because the bank was at the top of the phone book – with the idea of setting up a convertible bond business,” says a Norwegian bank analyst.
