What Emendo Capital does

Emendo Capital is an independent Dutch corporate finance boutique founded in 2012 and headquartered at Parnassus Tower in Amsterdam. The firm delivers three integrated advisory service lines — Mergers & Acquisitions (sell-side, buy-side, spin-offs and carve-outs, mergers and JV advisory), Financial Advisory (valuations, fairness opinions, restructurings, capital solutions), and Special Advisory (shareholder strategies, strategic decision making, business development, and financial modelling) — to corporate, investor, and government clients. The team's cumulative advised deal value exceeds €30bn across a broad range of industries, with engagements governed by customized Letters of Engagement on a project-by-project basis. The firm employs approximately 15 professionals and differentiates through senior banker involvement on every mandate, long-term client relationships, and the discretion of a boutique setting.

The firm's operating model is anchored to the global Natixis M&A network, of which it is an independent affiliate. The network comprises 9 boutiques with 500+ M&A professionals, a local presence in 11 countries, and approximately 400 M&A transactions per annum. In July 2024, Natixis Partners made a strategic investment in Emendo Capital, formalizing the affiliate relationship while Emendo retains operational and client-facing independence; this affiliation grants access to Natixis's 45+ global offices and a wider array of financing solutions from the parent Groupe BPCE (a top-10 European, top-20 global banking group).

Emendo's revenue model is professional services advisory fees on M&A transactions, valuations, fairness opinions, restructurings, and strategic consulting. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set per engagement. Its client roster spans marquee PE houses (IK Partners, Triton Partners, Waterland, Mentha, Astorg, Infravia, Antin, Egeria), corporates (BMW, Veolia, Alliander), utilities and infrastructure investors (Stedin, Stedin shareholders incl. Dutch State, APG/OMERS Kenter acquisition, RGA), and growth-sector targets (Yeager Energy, Payt fintech backed by Partech, SB Italia supported by Argos). Distribution is direct via senior relationship managers with no intermediary channel structure.
