MERCHANT BANKING ACTIVITIES
Investing Capital
We invest shoulder-to-shoulder with our partners and related entities, perfectly aligning interests with them. Our capital, provided by our firm's partners' capital accounts, follows the discipline established in mid-1990's: taking non-controlling equity ownership in established core industry companies with low leverage orientation.
Project Finance & Commodity Banking
Our project finance and commodities banking group underwrites financial structures under $25 million, tailor-made to meet the needs of highly specialized situations providing capital through deployment of time-tested financial structures such as sale-leaseback of fixed assets, commodity off-taking financing, long-term cash flow dispositions, etc..
Boardroom Engagements
Our partners regularly serve on the boards of directors of closely-held companies, helping boards specifically on the subjects of strategy definition and implementation, and special situations.
