Book Description

Publication Date: December 15, 1992

This study tells the history of J. Henry Schroder Wagg & Co from its founding in 1818 by John Henry Schroder, a Hamburg merchant, through difficult times in the international slump of the early 1930s, to its rise as one of the largest and most prestigious of city firms in London today.;Richard Roberts sets the firm's evolution as a business in the context of the evolution of international finance and merchant banking over the last two centuries. The role of London as an international and domestic financial centre is a key theme. The book is based on the firm's own records, complemented by archival researches in the UK, USA and Germany.

Review

'For anyone even vaguely interested in the City, the book is worth dipping into to get a feeling of how one of the most successful British merchant banks operates.' - Investors Chronicle
