Corporate Financial Sponsors

Overview

Deep industry ties in our focus sectors allow us to bring valuable content and actionable ideas to our clients. Our professionals are able to bring financial sponsors to appropriate companies seeking middle market investment banking, and to access a deep pool of equity investors interested in middle market companies.

Once all parties are at the table, we move into execution. We leverage the resources of KeyBanc Capital Markets® as bookrunner, lead arranger or advisor to deliver M&A advisory services, debt and equity capital markets and leveraged finance solutions. Working with many financial sponsors time and time again, we bring our trusted partners equity financing opportunities on a regular basis, with the understanding that when we commit, we get the deal done.

We don’t try to be experts in all things, but focus on specific industries. Our middle market private equity specializations include: industrial and manufacturing; consumer and retail; oil and gas; utilities, power and renewables; healthcare; technology; real estate and many sub-sectors within these categories.
