History

The firm was originally formed in 1989 as a merger between Hemsley & Co Securities and Raphael Zorn and was known by the name of RZH Ltd before rebranding as Numis in 2000.[5]

In 2016, Oliver Hemsley stood down as Numis CEO after 25 years. Alex Ham and Ross Mitchinson succeeded Hemsley as co-CEOs, with Ham running the firm's advisory and corporate broking arm and Mitchinson its equities business.[6]

In April 2023, Deutsche Bank agreed to acquire Numis in an all-cash deal valued at £410 million.[7] When the purchase was completed on October 13,[8] it was announced that it could be known as Deutsche Numis.

In 1987, the company launched an index to track the UKs smallest 10% of companies. There are currently around 700 constituents.[9]
