Before deregulation of European financial markets in 1987 - then a partner of a sovereign "Bankierhaus / Maison des Banquiers / Acceptance-/ Merchant Banking-house" would act as a confidant or a trustee/fiduciary at arm's length to other roles in financial markets; e.g. insurers, trading houses, brokers, clearing-banks and asset managers. Bankier-houses were pivotal to international financial centers - like Hamburg, Amsterdam, Paris and London. During more than two centuries they had developed and practiced a strict code for fit and proper conduct, which had resulted in positioning, overview and legitimacy to peg specific prices - and to arbitrate. Whenever this code of conduct was broken, then the responsible parties were punished.
Look to the Postscript of this Page on Trust - with a historic, systemic and resource-based perspective.
After the deregulation the list of relationships at a Bankier-house became valuable to multi-role financial groups with cross-selling strategies stimulated by internal bonus schemes. Today there are few independent Bankier-houses left - except in "Vermögensverwaltung / Gestion de Fortune / Wealth Management".
Bankier.co was initiated in 1988 as a supplementing alternative to the emerging multi-role financial groups, security brokerages as well as asset- and fund management companies - by focusing on the needs of owners/enterprisers and investors of the real economy in maritime regions. Look for more info on the Page: "Alliances, RNPs & Bankier.co".
National authorities have tended to favor illegally the business models of the financial industry's incumbents. Therefore, Small and Mid-sized Enterprises (SMEs) without "Names" in media and markets have become underserved. That has resulted in damages and complaints.
"National Remedy" and "the Principle of State Liability" have so far been ignored in most cases. After the economic crises of 2007-2009 real financial reforms with social impact should have happened. Illegal favoring could have been stopped - likwise collusion - by a ban on cross-selling strategies stimulated by internal bonus schemes.
Bankier.co participated in HBS.edu New Venture Competition (NVC) 2017 with “A Social Enterprise for Impact Investing – organized as a Collaborative Value Network (CVN)”.
A new NVC-entry early 2021 added to its Pitch Deck: "Boosted by Fintech".
The ownership model of a CVN-Approch to Impact Investing is open - and the future majority-owners of the CVN are Capital Partners, who set purpose before profit.
Together they assemble strengths and spread risk to build capacity to facilitate capital formation - e.g. for pro-active restructuring of firms to become viable and sustainable, More details on the NVC-entries follow overleaf under optional reading on Bankier.co's history.
During- and after the COVID-pandemic the authorities should focus on needs of the real economy and behavior by "nudging" and general policies as well as pro-active measures and institutional changes - e.g. for a "Green Shift"
EU Classification of Taxonomy, i.e. whether economic activities are sustainable or not, has 6-six criteria. An EU-Regulation requires publishing of information on investments' sustainability to investors by the financial sector.
Before July 17, 2021 the European countries shall implement an EU Directive 2019-1023 concerning restructuring, insolvency and discharge of debt. That will require preparations - e.g. setting up specialized courts for pro-active restructuring and resource-conflicts. Access to liquidity must be available by an insurance arrangement based on Public- and Private Cooperation (PPC) as one measure of a reform for debt relief as well as pro-active restructuring and reorganization.

A brief on Bankier.co's franchisees, who are Regional Network Partners (RNPs) - including their associates
They practice a single-role as confidants or trustees/fiduciaries - and offer a value proposition to a new relationship after a dialogue - e.g. on how to become better prepared to meet markets. The needs of owners/enterprisers and investors are similar everywhere - especially in maritime regions. Bankier.co's RNPs focus on these needs and are "wedges" for impartiality by separating roles in markets and industries. There is no hidden agenda and/or carried interest. Relations are built on trust. RNPs build network and competency in maritime regions. They offer deliberations on vital dispositions; such as Pro-Active Restructuring and Reorganization (PARR) - e.g. by altering use of assets to strengthen access to equity capital and/or mezzanine financing.
