Before deregulation of European financial markets in the 1980s a partner of a sovereign "Bankierhaus / Maison des Banquiers / Merchant-/ Acceptance house" acted as a confidant or a trustee / fiduciary at arm's length to other roles in financial markets; i.e. insurers, brokers, clearing-banks and asset managers. Bankier-houses were pivotal to international financial centres - like Hamburg, Amsterdam, Paris and London. During two centuries they had developed and practiced a strict code for fit and proper conduct, which had resulted in position, overview and legitimacy to peg specific prices - and to arbitrate. Whenever this code of conduct was not followed, then the responsible parties were punished.
After deregulation the list of relationships at a Bankier-house became valuable to multi-role financial groups with cross-selling strategies stimulated by bonus schemes. Today there are few independent Bankier-houses left - except in "Vermögensverwaltung / Gestion de Fortune / Wealth Management". 
Bankier.co's partners and associates practice a single-role as confidants or trustees / fiduciaries. They will offer a value proposition to a new relationship after a dialogue. The needs of owners/enterprisers and investors are similar everywhere - especially in maritime regions. Bankier.co focuses on these needs and is a "wedge" for impartiality by separating roles in markets and industries. There is no hidden agenda and/or carried interest. Relations are built on trust.
Bankier.co builds network and competency in maritime regions and can offer deliberations on vital dispositions; such as Pro-Active Restructuring and Reorganization (PARR) - e.g. by altering the use of assets to strengthen access to equity capital and/or mezzanine financing.
