Group’s distribution capabilities in the stock market, gaining

RBI said in a statement.
ODDO BHF provides a range of services including wealth
management.
The entire equity sales and institutional equity research team of
RBI will become part of the ODDO BHF platform, aiming to maintain
a leading position in research for Austrian issuers, expand the
universe in CEE, and leverage the expertise of a network of over
80 analysts.
RBI’s corporate clients will continue to be supported in relation
to equity transactions from its headquarters in Vienna and the
network banks in the region.
In early November ODDO BHF appointed former senior Credit Suisse
figure Mischa Tschopp as head private wealth manager for the
German client business. As for RBI, it also provides private
banking and wealth management as part of its offerings.
