SHG was founded in 1985 to offer clients a unique, value-creating blend of investment banking and strategic advisory services to meet the needs of middle market companies, financial sponsors, and entrepreneurs, in the U.S. and globally. We operate with the understanding that management consultants typically have limited knowledge of capital markets and investment banking. Likewise, investment bankers are typically transaction oriented and are seldom adept at advising companies on strategic operational issues. Since inception, the firm has acted as a trusted advisor to hundreds of clients worldwide, including multiple product and service companies across various industries.
