Peel Hunt has set up a new debt capital markets team that it hopes will be a "key differentiator" for the UK small and mid-cap broking, advisory and trading firm.

Peel Hunt said on October 17 that it had formed a collaboration with debt advisory, risk and hedging specialist JC Rathbone Associates that will see the latter's Adrian Bell, Henrietta Podd and Mark Glowrey work jointly for the two companies.
