About Nothing Ventured
Specialists in a new world of investment opportunity, nothing-ventured.com is Durlacher's online share dealing service.
Durlacher's knowledge driven model provides them with a clear advantage over traditional investment banks, venture capitalists and incubators. They are none of these but their model combines elements of each. Research mitigates the risk of making investments in a rapidly changing environment. It also establishes a network of valuable relationships across academia and industry.
Durlacher is building a local presence across Europe in key markets including Germany, Spain and Scandinavia as well as the UK. Durlacher is also expanding its area of expertise demonstrated by the joint venture with BMP of Germany to create and share knowledge in the emerging areas of nanotechnology and life sciences.
The execution service, launched in February 2000 provides members with online trading and exclusive access to new issues (IPOs) and pre-IPO opportunities solely from Durlacher’s rapidly growing portfolio of investee companies.
Recently we have added three financial news services - ShareCast.com, MichaelWalters.com and Biopoly.com. Clients will benefit from the move which brings together quality investment commentary produced by Sharecast’s experienced team of top financial journalists, previously with national newspapers and Nothing-Ventured’s technological expertise.
Having a Nothing-Ventured account not only allows you access to these unique information sources but also allows you to trade in all LSE and AIM listed securities, as well as taking control of your PEPs, ISAs and SIPPs.
