History
The firm was originally formed in 1989 as a merger between Hemsley & Co Securities and Raphael Zorn and was known by the name of RZH Ltd before rebranding as Numis in 2000.

In 2016, Oliver Hemsley stood down as Numis CEO after 25 years. Alex Ham and Ross Mitchinson succeeded Hemsley as co-CEOs, with Ham running the firm's advisory and corporate broking arm and Mitchinson its equities business.

In April 2023, Deutsche Bank agreed to acquire Numis in an all-cash deal valued at GB£410 million. When the purchase was completed on October 13, it was announced that it could be known as Deutsche Numis.

In 1987, the company launched an index to track the UKs smallest 10% of companies. There are currently around 700 constituents.
