Financial Sponsors

Our Financial Sponsors Group is a leading global provider of advisory, investment banking and innovative solutions to private equity firms and investors.

We are a leading partner to our sponsor clients throughout the lifecycle of their investments, from origination through initial strategic advisory, acquisition financing, and integrated structured solutions to subsequent monetization alternatives, including sales, mergers, IPOs, secondary stock offerings, recapitalizations and margin loans.
 

We also have a highly differentiated and value-added approach to our global sponsor clients away from investing, that focuses on innovative and efficient capital formation, capital markets, credit investors, risk hedging and mitigation, and offer growth areas of strategic importance to our highly valued client base.
