Merchant BankingMerchant banks date back to the Middle Ages. European businesses began using their extra money to invest in foreign trade in exchange for a cut of the profit. These entities, known at the time as merchant houses, were usually small, family-owned businesses. Because of the international component, these investments were generally considered high-risk at the time. Ships carrying goods had to cross seas and oceans, risking bad weather, war, and piracy.Strattners is a financial institution with deep industry experience. Our clientele are entrepreneurs, family-owned businesses, financial sponsors, and corporations.
