Moelis & Company, the New York-headquartered independent investment bank, today announced the establishment of a new office in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The team also comprises several senior Moelis & Company bankers who have relocated to the UAE, including Managing Director Charles Noel-Johnson.

He has extensive experience on restructuring, refinancing and M&A transactions across the Middle East and Europe advising sovereigns, private equity firms, corporates and creditors.

“We expect MENA to experience a high rate of economic growth, increasing financial markets activity and significant cross-border capital flows for a sustained period of time,” said Mr. Aedy. “We are looking forward to working with clients in the region on financial transactions and strategic initiatives that add long-term value.”

“Moelis & Company is already active in MENA, providing independent financial advisory services to governments and corporates, and our new Dubai office gives us the opportunity to further extend our capabilities across the region,” added Mr. Sasso. “Bringing together significant experience across advisory and capital markets, the team here offers clients deep and unparalleled expertise.

Moelis & Company Expands Equities Business in Australia

New York and Sydney, May 14, 2010

Moelis & Company today announced the expansion of the firm’s Equities business in Australia with the acquisition of Sydney-based stock broker Foresight Securities. Foresight Securities is an institutional stock broking business that specializes in research, sales and trading of Australian small-cap and mid-cap stocks. The acquisition further builds the firm’s Australian Equities business launched in March and in addition to expanding sales and trading, immediately allows Moelis & Company to provide clients with current and historical research coverage of over 90 small-cap and mid-cap Australian companies. Additionally, through the acquisition, Moelis & Company will become a licensed trading participant of the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) with an operating Australian financial services license.

“We are thrilled that the acquisition of Foresight Securities will allow us to accelerate our previously announced plan to grow our small-cap and mid-cap equities effort as well as our plan to become an ASX trading participant,” said John Steinthal, Head of Equities at Moelis & Company in Australia. “The team at Foresight has built an impressive small-cap and mid-cap specialist equities business and we are excited about the integrated product platform we will be able to provide our corporate and institutional clients across this important market segment.”

Moelis & Company in Australia is building an equities business focused on providing research, research sales, agency trading, and equity capital markets offerings to an institutional client base. The firm plans on developing a differentiated thematic research product, focusing on investment and trading ideas and recommendations.

“The Foresight team is very excited to join Moelis & Company. Becoming part of a high quality, fast growing equities and investment banking business will allow us to further develop our equities product capabilities across our client base,” added Foresight Securities Principal Ian McKenzie. “Access to the global investment banking expertise of the firm will be invaluable for the corporate needs of our clients.”

Moelis & Company has been building its Equities business in Australia with several recent key senior hires:

  • John Garrett will join the firm as Managing Director and Head of Hedge Fund Sales and will be responsible for Moelis & Company’s hedge fund servicing business. Mr. Garrett was formerly Head of Hedge Fund Sales at UBS Investment Bank.

Moelis & Company (NYSE: MC), a leading global independent investment bank, today announced the launch of its Global Blockchain Group which will provide bespoke advisory services to both corporations utilizing blockchain as well as emerging and leading blockchain companies, including those seeking to build a presence in Web3.

The Group is led by John Momtazee, Moelis & Company Co-Founder and Global Head of Media Investment Banking, and will include a team of senior bankers across multiple industry groups with significant experience in advising blockchain companies.  This dedicated center of excellence will coordinate with the Firm’s partners globally as clients across all sectors assess the growing opportunities presented by this disruptive technology.

In connection with this expanded and dedicated advisory offering, the Firm announced the appointment of Lou Kerner as Senior Advisor to the Global Blockchain Group.

With more than 50 unicorns and several decacorns in the sector already and nearly $20 billion of capital raised for blockchain companies last year, blockchain technology is poised to be as transformative to the global business landscape as the Internet was in the late 90s.  Despite the current volatility, we see strong long-term prospects for its application and an increasing need for high quality strategic advice, sources of capital to fund growth and liability management solutions,” said John Momtazee.

“The presence of Moelis as a leading advisor in this space is an important development for the long-term growth of blockchain technology,” said Lou Kerner. “Our combined advisory capabilities, longstanding client relationships and extensive blockchain expertise will help drive the adoption of this transformative technology.

As leading investors increasingly look to participate in the substantial value creation that we expect blockchain technology will offer, Moelis & Company’s global platform, strong sponsor relationships, collaborative and agile culture, and entrepreneurial spirit positions us well to help our clients leverage this significant opportunity.”

Moelis & Company Honoured at The Banker’s Annual Awards Ceremony

London, October 10, 2011

Moelis & Company today announced that it has won Most Innovative Boutique of the Year and Most Innovative Bank for Asset & Liability Management at The Banker’s annual Investment Banking Awards 2011.  This marks the second consecutive year Moelis & Company has won the award for Most Innovative Boutique.

The firm received the industry recognition as a result of a strong year including continued expansion across geographies and industry sectors. It is also recognition of the firm’s role in advising on a series of high profile global transactions across its integrated platform of advisory services, incorporating Mergers & Acquisitions, Recapitalisation & Restructuring, Capital Markets and Risk Advisory.

Ken Moelis, Chief Executive Officer of Moelis & Company, said, “When we founded Moelis & Company in 2007 it was with the firm belief that we could do things a better way: with innovation, sound judgment and integrity. These awards are a tremendous endorsement of this strategy, of the team we’ve built globally, and they recognise the strength of the independent advisory model.”

Remarking on Moelis & Company’s Most Innovative Boutique award win, the panel of judges said, “Boutique investment banks have flourished in the past four years as their blend of independent advisory services has appealed to a growing number of clients in the wake of the financial crisis. None more so than Moelis & Co. So successfully has Moelis ridden this wave that it becomes ever more difficult to call the firm a boutique at all.”

For the Asset and Liability Management award, the panel said, “Asset and liability management crosses investment banking disciplines. For this reason, the vision pursued by Moelis & Co since its creation has proven ideally suited to advising ALM clients.”

Ken Moelis, Chief Executive Officer of Moelis & Company, said, “Germany is a critical component of the European and global economy and therefore a strategically significant market for us. Our priority at Moelis & Company is to provide our clients with a global network of information so Herbert’s appointment will further enhance our ability to do so on a global basis. To have attracted a businessman of his experience is a testament to the success of our independent, conflict-free and confidential business model and client offering.”

Under the leadership of Lord Mervyn Davies, Baron Davies of Abersoch, CBE, former Chairman and CEO of Standard Chartered PLC and Minister of State for Trade, Investment and Small Business for the United Kingdom, Moelis & Company announced the formation of its Global Advisory Board in June 2011 with the appointment of five members with global financial, government and economic experience who provide senior counsel and strategic advice on industry issues particularly across international financial markets. The Global Advisory Board members include:

Ambassador Charlene Barshefsky – Former United States Trade Representative, Executive Office of the President, U.S. Government, currently Senior International Partner at WilmerHale;

Ho Kwon Ping – Founder and Executive Chairman of Banyan Tree Holdings Limited, Singapore;

Michael Marks – Founding Partner of Riverwood Capital, former Chairman and CEO of Flextronics, and former Partner at Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co;

Sidney Taurel – Former Chairman and CEO of Eli Lilly and Company, and currently Senior Advisor at Capital Royalty LLP, a private equity firm investing in intellectual property in the biopharmaceutical industry; and

Hubert Védrine – Founding Partner of Hubert Védrine Conseil, and Chairman of the Institut François Mitterrand. Between 1997 and 2002 he was Minister of Foreign Affairs in Lionel Jospin’s cabinet, and between 1981 and 1995 he was Foreign Affairs Advisor, then Chief of Staff, to French President François Mitterrand.

Lord Davies said, “It has always been our intention to expand the Global Advisory Board with distinguished members who bring us international business perspectives. Herbert’s appointment provides our global clients with access to German Region corporations and further enhances our global network.”

Moelis & Company Announces Key Senior Hires in Australia

New York and Sydney, March 15, 2010

Moelis & Company, the New York-based investment bank, today announced Andrew Pridham will join the firm as Managing Director and Head of Investment Banking for Australia.  Mr. Pridham was most recently Executive Chairman of Investment Banking at JPMorgan Australia.  Additionally, John Steinthal will join the firm as Managing Director and Head of Equities for Australia.  Mr. Steinthal was most recently a co-founder and principal of Edward Baillie Capital and previously was Managing Director and Co-Head of Australasian Equities at UBS.

These appointments follow the establishment of Moelis & Company’s office in Australia in August 2009 with the hire of a corporate finance team and mark the firm’s expansion into equity capital markets and equities research, sales and trading in the Australian market.

“Our team in Australia has had strong momentum in actively advising clients on complex transactions as well as in introducing our unique banking model to the Australian market,” said Ken Moelis, Chief Executive Officer of Moelis & Company.  “Adding an experienced banker and proven business builder like Andrew is a further demonstration of our long-term commitment to providing strategic and independent advisory solutions to new and existing clients.”

“John’s appointment is significant for us as he will drive the development of our product suite to provide corporate and institutional clients with the highest level of coverage and execution of the equities product. His experience having previously run a leading equities franchise will be invaluable to our organisation,” added Mr. Moelis. “Partnering with Andrew and John will help us further leverage the strengths of our existing team and allow us to build an integrated, comprehensive and successful business in the region.”

Mr. Pridham has over 20 years of experience in investment banking and has worked in London, Singapore and Sydney.  As Executive Chairman of JPMorgan’s investment bank in Australia he completed many major M&A, equity raising and other advisory transactions and played a leading role in the significant growth of JPMorgan’s Australian business.  Prior to his six year tenure at JPMorgan, Mr. Pridham spent 12 years at UBS where he held senior roles including Global Head of Real Estate Investment Banking and Head of Investment Banking for Australasia. He was also a member of the UBS Global Investment Banking Management Committee.

“I am excited about the opportunity to join Moelis & Company in its formative stages in Australia.  As an integrated investment banking business, with both advisory and equities capabilities, I am confident we will be able to attract some of Australia’s most talented investment bankers to the firm and build a successful client-focused organisation,” said Mr. Pridham. “We offer executives a culture of partnership in a dynamic growth-focused environment.  In addition, the firm has a strong capital base, an integrated business model and an executive shareholding structure that provides transparency of performance and equity returns.  Moelis & Company has global reach and is widely recognised for the premium standing of its executives, and we intend to leverage this reputation and client focus in the Australian market.”

Mr. Steinthal has over 20 years of experience in equities.  He co-founded Edward Baillie Capital in 2004 to create and manage a successful suite of unlisted alternative investment products.   Previously he was also at UBS in Australia for 14 years, managing a 170-person team as Co-Head of Australasian Equities.  Under Mr. Steinthal’s leadership, UBS was consistently a top-ranked equities franchise in Australia.

“Being able to build our business on the foundation of Moelis & Company’s global brand allows us to offer clients quality research and execution services and have access to capital, which is important for a successful equity capital markets business,” added Mr. Steinthal.  “We feel very well placed to be filling a particular void in the institutional equities market where we can be nimble in adapting our offerings to meet client needs while building on the focused client coverage model that the firm has successfully grown globally.”

Having outgrown its accommodations on Bridge Street in Sydney, Moelis & Company will move to new premises in Sydney’s Governor Phillip Tower later this month.

Moelis & Company Completes Acquisition of Hong Kong-Based Asia Pacific Advisers

New York and Hong Kong, April 14, 2011

Moelis & Company, the New York-headquartered independent investment bank, today announced the closing of its acquisition of Asia Pacific Advisers (“APA”), an independent financial advisory firm based in Hong Kong. The acquisition of APA enhances Moelis & Company’s global footprint and further strengthens its Asia Pacific capabilities, adding an established team in Hong Kong to complement the firm’s growing business in Asia Pacific. The acquisition was first announced in January 2011.

Speaking in Hong Kong today, Ken Moelis, Chief Executive Officer of Moelis & Company, said: “Expanding our presence into Asia is a strategic priority for Moelis & Company so we are delighted to close this transaction and partner with such a talented team. Moelis & Company will provide clients in Asia with extensive knowledge and advice about local markets and, at the same time, provide clients in markets outside Asia with strategic counsel about the region.”

APA’s capabilities include a comprehensive range of advisory services, including mergers and acquisitions, capital markets advisory and restructuring. Since its inception in early 2009, APA has advised on many notable transactions in Asia Pacific, including serving as Joint Financial Advisor to Swire Pacific on the mandatory general offer for HAECO, which valued HAECO at US$2.2 billion, and advising on corporate governance terms between GOME and the founding shareholders of GOME. APA continues to have a growing pipeline of current business with corporates and private equity firms across Asia.

Mark Aedy, Head of Europe, Middle East and Africa Investment Banking for Moelis & Company, said: “As a leading global investment bank, it is critical for Moelis & Company to have a strong presence in Asia. More than ever, clients are seeking global knowledge and perspectives, and being in Hong Kong significantly enhances our ability to deliver that information to them.”

Mr. Orders said, “Working as one cohesive team in Asia will allow us to grow the business and provide our clients with the strategic counsel and uncompromised advice that they are looking for in today’s demanding markets. In particular, we see significant opportunity for advising on capital markets matters and on cross border transactions between companies in Asia and in the other regions where we conduct business.”
