Mark Thompson

Mark joined Baring Securities in 1987 advising UK institutions on Japanese equities. Subsequently, he built successful equity sales teams at Merrill Lynch and Deutsche Bank, where he was also global head of the Japanese Equity product, before moving onto the buy-side with Martin Currie. There, he created a new client base and had responsibility for overseeing investor, broker and board relationships for their three investment companies.

Utilising this knowledge and experience, Mark helped set up Peel Hunt’s investment companies business and quickly built out the firm’s investor network and corporate client list - partly by launching the largest number of investment company IPOs by any broker over that period. Mark has been consistently recognised by Extel as the top salesperson for his field, including advising on Japanese equities and, most recently, top salesperson of investment companies for four years running. Mark co-founded Ellora Partners with Eddie Nissen.
