Expertise

Strategies in a low interest rate environment

Earnings in the financial sector have been limited by persistently low interest rates since 2009 – a situation that is not likely to change in the foreseeable future. We advise companies on their possibilities for a shift in strategy, such as looking more towards commission based revenues.

Secure transactions

In RITTERWALD’s M&A projects, we support our clients with the process of analyzing and acquiring rival firms to enable higher economies of scale and other buy-side benefits. By ensuring complete financial due diligence and preparing reliable multi-year business plans, we build the foundations for secure transactions.
