As London’s biggest small-cap broker Covid-proofs a new headquarters, its top executive expects business to keep booming as companies that benefited from the pandemic -- or need to pay off emergency debts -- seek equity financing. Retail investors’ fad for playing a hot market helps, too.
Sam Smith, whose finnCap Group Plc focuses on the Alternative Investment Market, or AIM, also predicts her staff will never work five days a week in the office again. Smith, 46, is chief executive officer of the 125-person firm that she founded in 2007.
