summary

We are a craftsman-like and, by definition, low volume shop. We take pride in this. This translates to more focused attention on any given client by our seasoned professionals.

In contrast, most firms — including many boutiques — pursue robust volume. We know this because we’ve been there as execution bankers at global investment banks such as Société Générale and Goldman Sachs as well as smaller regional/boutique advisory firms.

We recognize that the business models of the latter depend on less seasoned staff to execute the projects since their seasoned professionals need to continually focus on sales and marketing. It’s not wrong, just different.

At Coventry League, we operate a lean, streamlined investment banking and advisory process. Doing so results in our focusing on the most essential and substantial aspects of proposals, marketing pitches, and research material. We’ve learned to focus on substance and keep things simple and effective.
