Most firms have a mission. We have a manifesto.
Involvement Banking™ isn’t a slogan. And It isn’t a product. It’s a promise. It’s who we are. And how we do what we do. It means showing up. And seeing things through. It means ascending from the traditional role of transactional banker and earning our place as a trusted advisor. It means caring deeply about outcomes and being obsessively committed to results. It means putting together a team of people with exceptional skills, exceptional experience and exceptional integrity. It means following the math, rigorous analysis and impeccable consistency. It also means having the confidence to speak hard truths, the perspective to see things differently, and the global experience to navigate the complicated, the complex, the thorny and the downright messy. It means doing more than the diligence that is “due.” And offering more than what is required or expected. To be involved means spending the time and energy to get to know the people, as well as the company and the industry.
It means being ahead of the process dynamics because, quite frankly, we have been there before. It means being boots on the ground. In the room. Around the table. With our clients. Anywhere in the world. Any time. To provide counsel, insight, ideas and solutions. And it means being fully committed to every client we serve – from the family-owned business doing their first deal to some of the largest, most sophisticated multinational enterprises in the world. It is a persistent, always-on, super-intentional, purpose-led, people-first model built on the fundamental belief that the only way we can effectively serve our clients is to be deeply committed to contributing to our clients’ success. We are XMS. And this is Involvement Banking®.
