EQS-News: Baader Bank strengthens its capital market and research business with Erste Group and AlphaValue

Baader Bank is expanding its research service and strengthening its existing collaboration with French research provider AlphaValue SA. From 1 October 2025, the cooperation will unlock an optimised long-term research service for institutional and professional investors.

"This reimagined cooperation brings together both companies' research expertise to form the foundation for a competitive and future-oriented research offering", explains Pierre-Yves Gauthier, co-founder and CEO of AlphaValue.

The closer collaboration between the two institutions will offer a wealth of advantages to their mutual clients, who will now be able to tap into an even larger and more comprehensive research platform and become part of a global corporate access network. Baader Bank offers companies access to investors around the world, tailored to their individual needs. The offer is aimed at small, medium and large companies, alongside non-listed companies.

Alongside developing its research offering with AlphaValue, Baader Bank has also concluded a research agreement with Erste Group, consolidating a collaboration that first began in October 2024. The two companies will bundle their research offerings so that each bank can distribute the other bank's existing research products to their own clients. Rather than the 600 companies currently covered, the research service will comprise a total of 750 stocks with a focus on the GSA (Germany, Switzerland and Austria) and pan-European regions, supplemented primarily by the Eastern European region.

Expansion of cooperation with Erste Group

Baader Bank and Erste Group have already been working together in the capital market and trading business. This collaboration has focused on activities in the equity capital markets business, primary market sales and deal execution services in Europe and North America, as well as the research service for institutional clients, which the two companies are now working together to develop further.

"Our cooperation with Baader Bank generates important added value for both institutions. This enables us to jointly offer our respective customers an optimised research service and strengthen our market position", says Ingo Bleier, Chief Corporates and Markets Officer, Erste Group.

The bundled offers will open up Baader Bank's research platform to many international investors going forwards and capital market business services and investor conferences will be available to a broader group of investors. Covered companies will also be able to tap into an even larger pool of investors from Eastern Europe, Western Europe, North America, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong and other parts of Asia.

"This dual optimisation of our research service allows us to systematically strengthen our market position in the research sector and leverage important cross-selling potential for our ECM business. Our close and excellent collaboration with AlphaValue and our more recent cooperation with Erste Group have brought about important synergies and also offer future potential in the areas of research and capital market business — with a focus on expertise and added value for customers", says Oliver Riedel, Vice Deputy CEO of Baader Bank.

By clearly positioning itself in the ECM and research business, Baader Bank emphasises its high standards of quality in delivering its service promise to its partners and customers, as well as its expertise in the capital market business.
