Sants joined the Research Department of the stockbroking partnership Phillips & Drew in 1977, and from 1978 to 1983 he was the Senior Analyst responsible for Food Manufacturing and Overseas Traders sectors.
He became a partner in 1984.
In December 1984 he moved to New York where he was a director of Phillips & Drew International, the New York subsidiary.
In 1985 he became Managing Director of that operation.
Phillips & Drew International was subsequently acquired by Union Bank of Switzerland and Sants was appointed First Vice President, responsible for the international securities activities of UBS Securities.
In January 1988, Sants returned to London where he became responsible for the worldwide coordination of research for the UBS investment banking operation.
In September 1988, he became Vice Chairman of UBS Phillips & Drew Securities Ltd, renamed UBS Limited in 1993, initially responsible for all equity and equity-linked secondary activities in London and later, from 1996, responsible for all equity business in Europe, Africa and the Middle Near East.
