ODDO BHF Corporates & Markets AG

ODDO BHF Corporates & Markets AG is a German securities firm within the ODDO BHF group, headquartered in Frankfurt am Main, focused on equity and fixed income markets for corporate and institutional clients. Its activities cover equity capital markets and debt capital markets transactions, including IPOs, rights issues, private placements, and corporate bonds, as well as sales and trading in equities and bonds, liquidity provision via market making and designated sponsoring on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange/Xetra, and issuer-related listing and post-listing services. The firm produces and distributes investment research on selected European small and mid-cap companies to professional investors under MiFID II rules and executes client orders across German and other European trading venues. It operates under German and EU financial regulation and is supervised by the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), with prudential oversight involving the Deutsche Bundesbank. The entity traces its roots to the former Close Brothers Seydler Bank AG, later operating as Oddo Seydler Bank AG before adopting its current name following the integration of BHF-BANK into the ODDO BHF group, and continues to function as the group’s capital markets and brokerage platform in Germany. It does not offer retail banking products such as current accounts or consumer lending.
