Our Approach
We believe our approach produces superior long-term outcomes for our clients.
What we do
What we don't do
What we do
- We are true partners with our clients and work with only their agenda in mind.
- We focus on individual companies, not industries.
- We take a rigorous and holistic approach in our work: stepping back, considering the broad context, questioning assumptions, challenging conventional wisdom and assessing the full range of alternatives.
- We pursue long-term value creation.
What we don't do
- We are not a lender to our clients nor are we a customer; we do not have an alternative agenda.
- We do not bank industries. The coverage model of all bulge-bracket firms, and many independent firms, requires them to work with many clients in any given industry, not just an individual company. This model creates conflicts of interest.
- We do not rely on short-term transaction or financing opportunities to drive our success.
- We have not worked with activist investors and will not work with them to pursue short-term gains. All bulge-bracket firms, and many independent firms, provide products and services to activists, ranging from loans and trading services to full-blown investment banking and advisory services. This model creates conflicts of interest.
