About this book

J.Henry Schroder Wagg & Co has been a leading merchant bank of the City of London for more than a century. This book tells its history, from its founding in 1818 by John Henry Schroder, a Hamburg merchant, through difficult times in the international slump of the early 1930s, to its rise to one of the largest and most prestigious of city firms in London today.

Reviews

'For anyone even vaguely interested in the City, the book is worth dipping into to get a feeling of how one of the most successful British merchant banks operates.' - Investors Chronicle
