Why Fairmont?

Why is our approach different?

We are an independent advisory firm that uses a client-centered approach.

We strive to avoid the conflicts of interest which may arise between investment bankers, equity research teams, and capital markets professionals who often compete with each other within the same institution.

We reject the institutional arrogance of many investment banks where the presumption of industry expertise is sometimes assumed superior to the clients' view of the world.

We steer away from the use of junior bankers for serious corporate decision-making. These individuals may have limited life experience with theoretical as opposed to practical concepts of valuation, execution, and interpersonal skills.

We disdain league table or "cherry picking" transaction attitudes from investment firms that may include avoidance of difficult mandates - assignments that are often the most important to the client.
