Corporate Sector Expertise

Zurich Equity Group augments all of its product and service offerings with expertise in all major 21st-century corporate sectors. We and our affiliates custom-tailor products and services in each client relationship to reflect the best-of-class trends that affect specific sectors.

As a result, clients can count on expert advice, products, and services that are the best reflection of the client’s business. As the chosen corporate banking partner of companies across key industry sectors, Zurich Equity Group supports its clients with in-depth knowledge of their business and the commercial and regulatory environments in which they operate. Using our sector-focused approach, we provide insight into business models, supply chain dynamics, domestic and international markets, and each industry’s emergent trends and challenges.

We are also uniquely attuned to geopolitical influences that affect value and operations in each industry sector. Corporate entities may not be able to readily influence political or environmental factors that drive their businesses, but our sector expertise enables them to better anticipate both positive and adverse geopolitical trends and to adjust operations before those trends can impair value.

By supporting you with experienced sector specialists, we are ready to provide advice and solutions across your entire supply chain. To meet your transactional and financing needs we can also draw on the full capabilities of Zurich Equity Group, from funding and capital markets access to asset and liability management, transaction banking, and cash management. We can also advise you on all types of merger & acquisition transactions, including mechanisms to free up capital for those transactions, as you seek to take your business to its next stage of development or growth.
