Houlihan Lokey Has Acquired Quayle Munro
The transaction, completed on April 3, 2018, creates a new global Data & Analytics Group within Houlihan Lokey and expands the firm’s financial institutions, financial technology, and education capabilities in Europe. Clients of both firms will benefit from the combined depth of sector expertise and broader global platform. Quayle Munro was founded in 1983 and is based in London with a team of 40 financial professionals. Its client list spans the globe and includes private and publicly listed companies, financial sponsors, and entrepreneurs.

In addition to its comprehensive global presence, extensive private equity coverage, and broad sector expertise, Houlihan Lokey possesses a strong cultural compatibility with the Quayle Munro team that will ensure both a smooth, successful integration and rapid value enhancement for clients of both firms. We could not be more excited to build out this new industry group and further grow the firm’s client base across data & analytics, financial institutions, financial technology, and education with the additional resources and global presence of Houlihan Lokey.

– Andrew Adams
