How has Merchant Banking and Cat Trail transitioned to a new approach?
Today Merchant banks have transitioned away from their sixteenth century roots of direct lending towards a more active and hands-on investment banking approach. For example, Cat Trail offers financial solutions through a combination of advice and investment capital. It is based on this understanding of the evolution of the Merchant Bank that Cat Trail has developed its approach to Private Equity and Investment Banking, including long-term relationship building, active strategic planning, and prudent fiscal guidance for clients.
