What Hannam & Partners does

Hannam & Partners is an independent, partner-owned specialist investment bank headquartered in London at 7-10 Chandos Street, focused exclusively on the natural resources sector. Founded in 2012 by Ian Hannam (former Chairman of Global Capital Markets at J.P. Morgan) and Neil Passmore, the firm operates through two FCA-regulated UK entities (H&P Advisory Ltd, FRN 805667; HCF International Advisors Ltd, FRN 230014) and employs a team of approximately 35 professionals, including seven partners with over 160 years of combined advisory experience. Its core service offering spans M&A advisory (buy-side, sell-side, divestitures, joint ventures), equity and debt capital raising (including IPOs, follow-ons, project finance, royalties, and offtakes), strategic advisory to boards and management, corporate broking under a model explicitly designed to avoid the conflicts of bulge-bracket banks, capital markets advisory, and in-house equity research.

The firm's sector coverage is organized around Metals & Mining and Energy (including oil & gas, helium, hydrogen), with a recently added Sustainable Energy & Technology vertical. Research coverage extends to 40 stocks and is distributed through a gated investor portal and four recurring newsletter products to over 300 institutional investors globally, providing a recurring relationship channel with the buyside that supports advisory mandate origination. Transactions span Africa, Europe, North America, Australia, and the Middle East, with disclosed mandates for issuers including BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, Xstrata, British Petroleum, Chariot, Savannah Energy, Randgold, Ero Copper, Yellow Cake, Pilbara Minerals, and NexGen Energy.

Hannam & Partners generates revenue through professional services fees (advisory retainers and transaction-based fees on M&A and capital raising) and equity research distribution, with £45bn of deals completed since 2013 and £12bn+ raised for clients over the same period. Go-to-market is relationship-led and senior-partner-driven: the firm competes against integrated investment banks on independence and unconflicted advice rather than balance sheet capacity, targeting mid-cap and emerging natural resource issuers who value senior access and sector specialization. The technology stack is non-proprietary and focused on advisory workflow and research distribution rather than platform or product technology.

Broad incumbents

• Jefferies: Global full-service investment bank with a strong natural resources franchise across mining and energy. Comparable as a broader incumbent competing for the larger end of H&P's deal universe.
• RBC Capital Markets: Global investment bank with a substantial natural resources group covering mining and energy. Comparable as a larger competitor that H&P's team members have worked at (Jay Ashfield, Jonathan Guy), operating on bigger mandates but in the same sectors.

Direct peers

• WH Ireland: UK small-mid cap broker with a natural resources corporate broking and advisory practice. Comparable as a smaller UK broker competing for the same mid-market natural resources mandates.
• Peel Hunt: UK mid-market broker and advisor with mining exposure and active corporate broking practice. Comparable as a UK-focused mid-market advisory and capital markets peer.
• Canaccord Genuity: Specialist investment bank with a well-known natural resources franchise covering mining and energy. Comparable as a sector-focused mid-market advisor; one of H&P's partners (Andrew Chubb) previously led mining coverage here.
• Panmure Gordon: UK mid-market broker with advisory and corporate broking services to growth and natural resources companies. Comparable as a similarly positioned UK mid-market competitor for capital raising and broking mandates.

• STJ Advisors: London-based independent advisor focused on equity and exit advisory across multiple sectors including natural resources. Most directly comparable peer: similar size, similar independent model, and overlapping client base in mining and energy IPO/M&A.
• Liberum Capital: UK mid-market investment bank with a natural resources and growth company franchise. Comparable as a similar-sized UK specialist advisor competing for mining and energy ECM mandates.
• Berenberg: European investment bank with a dedicated mining research and advisory franchise. Comparable as a specialist resource-focused advisor with research distribution to European institutional clients.
