Financial Institutions (FIG) — frequently asked questions
Digital banks, payment and lending platforms, and financial-infrastructure and fintech companies, on growth capital, venture debt and structured capital.
Qualified investors can access secondary participations in leading private fintech and payments platforms through our alternatives desk, subject to availability.
Twenty-three sectors across five groups: real estate, infrastructure and data centres; oil and gas, power and utilities, renewable energy, metals and mining and chemicals; industrials, business services, transportation and maritime; consumer and retail, food and beverage, healthcare and sports; and technology, media and telecom, the innovation economy, financial institutions, financial sponsors and the public sector.
Each sector page sets out the relevant transactions, leadership experience and advisory capabilities for that market.
Practice areas describe what we do — equity, debt, M&A, alternatives and execution. Industries describe who we serve. Most mandates combine both: a sector view and the right capital product.
Engagements ordinarily combine a retainer with a success fee. Terms are agreed in writing before work begins and calibrated to the mandate’s size, scope and complexity.
Most mandates reach a first term sheet within 30 days, depending on diligence readiness and structure; closing follows once terms are agreed.
A short, confidential scoping call and NDA; we structure the requirement and prepare materials, then run a competitive process across our 5,000+ investor and lender relationships, and negotiate to close — with a partner leading at every step.
