Speaking on the publication of the Extel survey 2017, Shore Capital Market’s CEO, Simon Fine, stated:

‘Shore Capital Markets has a very high quality team of which I am immensely proud. Our equity research and idea generation is the core currency of our entrepreneurial business, and we are very grateful for the support of the fund management community in our participating markets. 

Our continuous improvement and effectiveness is an important feature of the success of the business as an IPO issuer and raiser of secondary funds, where we remain active and successful through our Corporate Broking & Advisory department in which we continue to invest. 

It is particularly pleasing to see the broadening and deepening of our support from the market in Extel 2017 and so our improved overall position, particularly in the area of Trading & Execution. The market position of Shore Capital in the top-10 of UK Small & Mid-Cap brokers, when set against the size of many of our competitors, is an enormous testimony to the hard work and capabilities of our team, who I would also like to thank for their efforts.’
