Galt & Taggart [a] is an investment banking and investment management services company in Georgia. It offers a range of investment-related services, including equity and fixed income brokerage, research, equity and debt capital-raising, investment banking, wealth management and asset management.
Galt & Taggart's main operation outside Georgia was in Ukraine. It had a subsidiary company in Kyiv, which existed from 2000 to 2011, and was one of the top three leaders of the Ukrainian investment market. However, Galt & Taggart decided to close its Ukrainian branch due to the deteriorating economic climate in the country.[3]
Galt & Taggart is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank of Georgia Group plc, a UK-based parent company of Bank of Georgia and other companies, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange.[1]
Investment Banking
[edit]Since 2005, Galt & Taggart has completed more than 30 capital-raising transactions[4] on regional debt and equity markets, valued at approximately $1 billion, according to company estimates.
In November 2006, BG Capital acted as the exclusive selling agent for Bank of Georgia’s initial public offering (IPO) on the London Stock Exchange, which raised $159.8 million, and in December 2007, the company was a joint adviser on one of Ukraine’s largest M&A deals, the sale of 100% in ISTIL Group to ESTAR Management Company.
In October 2009, BG Capital was the sole placement agent and bookrunner for the secondary private placement of a 17.2% equity stake in one of Ukraine's largest agricultural holdings, Sintal Agriculture on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the SNPS GF, which was one of the few large Ukrainian equity placements in 2009.[5]
In March 2010, BG Capital became a full IPO Partner[6] of the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
