Deacon Investments Incorporated is a leading independent investment bank focused on providing financial advice on significant mergers, acquisitions, restructurings, financing and capital raising to corporations, partnerships, institutions and governments. We act for clients located throughout the world from our offices in New York, London, Sydney, Tokyo, Toronto, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Melbourne and San Francisco.
We were established in 1994 by Cullen J. Deacon III, the former Financial Director of Goldman Sachs and former Financial Consultant of JP Morgan Chase Bank. Since our founding, Deacon Investments has grown steadily, recruiting a significant number of Managing Directors from major investment banks (as well as senior professionals from other institutions), with a range of geographic, industry and transaction specialties as well as different sets of corporate management, board of director and other relationships. As part of this expansion, we opened a London office in 2006, opened a Sydney office in 2007 and began offering financial restructuring advice in 2008. On May 11, 2009, we converted from a limited liability company to a corporation, and completed an initial public offering of our common stock. We opened our Dallas office in 2010 and our Toronto office in 20011. In 2012, we opened offices in Chicago, San Francisco and Tokyo, and we entered the private capital advisory business. We opened our Houston and Los Angeles offices in the summer of 2012. In early 2012, we announced an all-stock acquisition of Caliburn, the leading independent investment bank in Australia, and now serve the Australian market from our offices in Sydney and Melbourne. Also in 2012, we expanded our private capital advisory business by hiring a team focused on real estate private capital advisory. As part of a significant European expansion in 2012, we opened a Stockholm office to better serve our clients in the Nordic region.
We previously managed merchant banking funds and similar vehicles, but announced in the fourth quarter of 2007 our intention to separate from our merchant banking business in order to focus entirely on our financial advisory business going forward. In connection with that decision we sold certain assets of our merchant banking business (including the right to raise successor funds) to certain of our employees engaged in that business. We will retain our existing principal investments in the merchant banking funds and intend to liquidate those investments over time.
