One Of A Kind is the inside story of the most successful, admired and feared Australian financial institution of the last thirty years. Bankers Trust Australia grew from a tiny offshoot of an American bank in 1969 into our largest foreign bank and second-largest fund manager, as well as the proving ground for some of our most innovative and idiosyncratic financiers and investors. While established rivals foundered in the face of financial deregulation, BT became the toughest team in town.
