Founded in 1823, Cazenove & Co. was the most prestigious
stockbroking firm in the City of London, celebrated for its fabled
placing power and for its unrivalled network of client
relationships. Fiercely independent, the firm had always maintained
a low profile, shunning the press and refusing to disclose details
of its own affairs or those of its clients. When Big Bang
revolutionised the City in 1986, Cazenove was the only one of the
major stockbroking partnerships to stand apart from the merger
frenzy which followed, rejecting the conventional wisdom of the day
and resolutely following its own path. So the City was stunned
when, in November 2000, Cazenove announced that it would abandon
its partnership structure, raise external capital and list its
shares on the London Stock Exchange. Robert Pickering led the firm,
as Chief Executive, throughout this period, working closely with
City legend David Mayhew, as the pair sought to define Cazenove’s
future in an industry which was becoming increasingly dominated by
huge international banks. Blue Blood is a first-hand account
by a senior City insider of what it feels like to manage an
investment bank through a period of tumultuous change and of the
cultural differences between a private British firm and a
hard-charging American bank. Full of insights and wisdom, Blue
Blood is not only a compelling story about a City icon but also
contains numerous anecdotes about the well-known City and Wall
Street figures who the author met during the course of his long
City career.
