Numis Securities is enjoying its highest year-to-date position in the UK equity bookrunner rankings, with the London stockbroker holding steady despite overall volumes running almost a third lower than a year ago.

Numis was on September 28 named as a joint bookrunner as UK brick maker Ibstock announced its intention to float. The news comes less than a week after holiday firm On the Beach, which Numis had also been advising, listed in London.
