Strategic Alliance
Sagent Advisors and Daiwa Securities Capital Markets entered into a business alliance in April 2007. At the same time, Daiwa also purchased an equity stake in Sagent of approximately 20% for $52 million. In May 2009, Daiwa acquired Close Brothers Corporate Finance Limited (“CBCF”), a leading European advisory firm with operations in the U.K. and continental Europe. With over 200 professionals, CBCF, renamed DC Advisory Partners, provides M&A, restructuring and capital markets advisory services to its clients. Through this alliance with Daiwa, Sagent Advisors is able to provide our clients with global reach throughout Asia and Europe.
