At David N. Deutsch & Company, we're industry "generalists." That said, we have significant experience in the following industry segments:
- retail and consumer products
- industrial/niche manufacturing
- business, healthcare and financial services
We believe that our clients are
the real industry experts
-- we're the merger, acquisition, divestiture and financing
experts. Frankly, we believe that too many
industry-specialist bankers allow their technical skills
to atrophy in favor of reliance on industry gossip. Also, too often, "industry expertise" results in an unforeseen conflict: your banker is beholden to the largest companies in your industry (perhaps your prospective acquiror), not you.
We have extensive relationships in many industries;
however, our most important relationships are with
our clients. Our mission is clear. We serve the
best interests of our clients. We're our clients' advisor and advocate.
and your advocate.
Our "generalist" approach has other
benefits as well. We are regularly exposed to
the marketing, operational and financing concepts of
many industries. While we encourage our professionals
to develop an intimate understanding of our clients
and their industries, we require them to think broadly. We
believe that many of the most valuable
ideas in business begin with fresh perspectives on
an industry where "everyone knows" how
things are
done.
