DC Advisory, an international investment bank committed to making a difference, announces new client delivery model to ensure its market-leading Infrastructure group combines its world-class expertise with local knowledge and relationships, internationally. The new model brings together all the existing global geographical infrastructure services under a single platform, reporting directly into newly announced Co-Heads of Global Infrastructure Neale Marvin and Phillip Hyman. The platform will drive enhanced client opportunities, deliver consistency of award-winning client service and provide a single platform for accelerated growth, across Europe, the US and increasingly Asia, as part of this new initiative.
Neale Marvin and Phillip Hyman, Co-Heads, DC Advisory Global Infrastructure said: “This new structure ensures we continue our rigorous client-first approach for the future. As the Infrastructure group has grown, it’s important each client benefits from the exceptional body of talent within the group, wherever they are located. It’s a privilege to drive this next phase of growth for the group together, and will be an important milestone for Daiwa’s continued investment into a critical and fast-moving sector.”
Richard Madden, European Executive Chairman, DC Advisory said: “DC Advisory’s Infrastructure business has developed into a true market-leader. The constantly evolving dynamics of Infrastructure, from the rise of sustainable energy to digital transformation, present huge opportunities for investors. The growth of our Infrastructure team is a clear reflection of the market-leading expertise and depth of knowledge we bring to clients globally.”
Hiroki Ikeda, Deputy Head of Global Investment Banking, Daiwa Securities said: “We see Infrastructure as a key focus area and by enhancing our delivery model, we are positioning the firm to stay at the forefront of the industry and in the services we offer to clients. This also positions DC Advisory’s Infrastructure business for its next phase of growth - making a difference to our international client base.”
DC Advisory’s Infrastructure Group was created in 2012 in the London office, with a clear vision to deliver genuine competitive advantage for clients, offering unparalleled M&A and debt expertise to its core client base of infrastructure funds, pension funds and sovereign wealth funds. Since that time, the team has grown to over 100 employees across nine offices globally and completed 227 transactions. The team regularly features as number one for deal count and volume in industry league tables, and has expanded its sub-sector teams to deliver advice across the spectrum of infrastructure, including; Energy & Power (Oil & Gas Midstream, Renewables, Smart Metering, Last Mile & Storage), Hybrid Infrastructure (Leasing, MSAs, O&M & Services), Digital Infrastructure (Datacentres, Fibre & Towers), Transportation, Circular Economy and Utilities & District Heating (Regulated & Unregulated) and Concession-based & Social Infrastructure.
This follows DC Advisory’s 2023 launch of market-leading Infrastructure franchise in the US, led by Anthony Edwards and Hannah Schofield, as the firm, along with shareholder Daiwa Securities Inc., continues to invest and support growth across its global business, to deliver the premier full-service investment bank, globally.
