Philosophy
Akin Bay was founded 17 years ago with the mission of providing sophisticated investment banking services to middle market companies which are increasingly unable to achieve their full financial and strategic goals without the assistance of a dedicated investment bank. Akin Bay has built the knowledge, infrastructure and relationships in order to provide these services to our clients.
Akin Bay strives to provide a full spectrum of high quality investment banking services to middle market companies in the knowledge that, in direct competition with our worldscale competitors, Akin Bay will not be surpassed by those larger firms, who lack the passionate commitment we bring to our clients every day.
We differentiate ourselves from our competitors by never being fee driven, but driven rather by the challenge of meeting the client’s needs, and the professional satisfaction we experience when we can achieve a result which is in excess of our client’s expectations.
Akin Bay focuses on mergers and acquisitions advisory services and raising private equity and debt. We do not trade in or underwrite securities or provide brokerage services or investment research; we prefer to emphasize the benefits of our independence from other brokerage houses and the consequent absence of conflicts of interest in our advice and services. Akin Bay believes that carefully aligning our interests with those of our clients and zealously avoiding conflicts of interest should always be the hallmark of Akin Bay’s philosophy. We believe time (as well as recent developments in the market place) have shown the merits of this approach in today’s financial environment.
