The investment business is a key element of the ZENIT Bank operations, and the investment division of the Bank is one of the most advanced and dynamic departments. High professional standards and extensive experience including that accumulated during the Russian market crash in 1998 have allowed the ZENIT Bank to gain leading positions in the provision of investment banking services to its clients.
As one of the largest Russian banks, the ZENIT bank offers a full range of investment and brokerage services on the Russian stock market. The bank°s brokerage operation provides services at all Russian exchanges, including RTS, MICEX, MFB, SPVB and over-the-counter market. The Bank°s extensive client base allows it to keep the fees of the Bank low, and often the transactions are free of charge. One of the main advantages of the Bank°s client service is maximum flexibility and customized approach to various categories of investors. The Bank provides services, which are equally attractive to large speculative operations with huge turnover and small private investors.
Of special mention is the Bank°s experience in offering public financing services for the clients through the issue of bonds and arrangement of syndicated loans. Last year alone, ZENIT arranged bond issues for OAO Tatneft, AO RITEK, co-arranged a loan for AK Sibur, and was a lead manager of a Bashcreditbank loan, and more projects are under development. As important milestones in the Investment division operations, the ZENIT Bank syndicated a hard-currency loan from Western banks, the first syndication by a Russian bank since the market crash of 1998, and arranged a syndicated loan for OAO Tatneft.
As we seek to preserve our competitive edge on the stock market as a modern investment bank, we continue to offer new high-tech solutions to our customers. ZENIT Bank has successfully implemented and is operating an Internet trading system, and a team of professional analysts prepares regular daily reports, periodic research reports on the corporate bond market, Russian borrower companies and other research, including that ordered by our customers. All research done by the Bank is free of charge.
