What We Do / Investment Banking
Juan Carlos Montoya, Christoph Handrup
Investment Banking | Frankfurt
From M&A to debt advisory, from equity to financial restructuring, we provide investment banking services for mid-market companies. We offer a global understanding of industry sectors combined with strong local relationships with companies, investors, entrepreneurs, and financing institutions in the markets we and our clients operate in. Our clients’ needs and Alantra’s alignment with and understanding of those needs are central to the success of our investment banking business. Our expertise is built on long-established relationships that can outlast even individual leaders and shareholders. That is because having such a strong understanding of our clients’ businesses, both today and in the future, means that we nurture relationships rather than solely pursuing individual deals. And we have found this strategy to be more robust than focusing on the returns of individual deals because it means we think about businesses’ needs and growth holistically.
We approach markets differently to other institutions. We do not have a central head office with accompanying satellite offices. All of our offices have comprehensive execution teams including senior leadership and industry sector level expertise, all rooted in that market. And our local offices are supported by global sector teams for the industries we specialize in. That means we get to be creative and take an entrepreneurial approach to problem solving on behalf of our clients and offer a global perspective on industry developments, so they receive the best possible advice. Each of our clients has a committed team of bankers in its local market which means that the advice they receive is tailored, but with the Alantra group behind them, supporting them at an international level, whether they want to execute a cross border M&A deal, or raise funding to enter a new market.
