Inkombank, the second largest commercial bank in Russia, said Inkom Capital would provide a full range of investment banking services.
"We hope to capitalize on the significant securities dealing experience and extensive branch network of our parent to develop new investment vehicles for our clients," Victor Paul, former manager of Russian equity sales and trading at Morgan Grenfell and now an Inkom Capital vice president, said in a statement.
Inkom Capital would develop an asset management business to help smaller Russian investors to participate in the domestic securities market, the company said.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
