Not a fit
Where the firm declines.
Clay Capital Group’s introduction-only scope is narrow on purpose. The firm declines engagements involving any of the following:
- Equity raises
- LP syndications
- Fund interests
- Note offerings
- Private placements
- Residential consumer mortgages
- Projects without basic sponsor information
- Requests for negotiation, underwriting, capital custody, or transaction representation
- Deals outside the firm's introduction-only scope
