A high-profile medical devices company required in-depth industry analysis in order to choose an investment position.

Syven created a team of MBAs with specialized life sciences expertise. The team:

• Developed an industry overview covering current leaders, comparable analysis, and existing technologies
• Collated and prioritized technical information
• Analyzed product development life-cycles and patents
• Identified SWOT, key drivers and restraints for analysis
• Completed a financial analysis, including profitability studies of target companies and future trends

In less than two weeks, the team delivered five pitch books (60-80 pages each) in the client's presentation format, complete with charts and images.

A major investment bank needed to ensure it was receiving the most appropriate and timely deal credits from League Table Agencies: Bloomberg LP, Thompson+Reuters, and DealLogic

Syven provided an ongoing team of dedicated analysts that monitors all deals as well as an onsite relationship manager who negotiates with agencies. The team:

• Collects and analyzes deal announcements to determine the client's fair share of league table credit, including credit sharing, currency conversion credits, and advising parties with partial ownership
• Negotiates with league table agencies for due credits for the client and challenges incorrectly posted credits
• Provides weekly updated reports of the client's league table standing across all the agencies
• Represents the client in agency meetings

The client is assured of accurate and up-to-date League Table Rankings while bankers are freed up, thanks to Syven's "no hassle", "hands-free" support.

A global investment bank, among the top 10 M&A firms worldwide, wanted to create a database of all prior convertible issues - including complete pricing analysis - to help them advise clients.

Syven:

• Developed a methodology for downloading pricing, quality, and issues information from relevant databases and then adding and/or computing additional required data elements such as spread on issues, YTW, and YTC.
• Compiled a list of all convertible issues over the last five years and implemented a process for collecting relevant information such as exchanges, retirements, and fees.
• Continues to update the database with new issues, exchanges, and retirements.
• Delivered a comprehensive spreadsheet with auto-downloading information, as well as areas for completion by trained analysts.

A top-ranked global investment bank wanted to benchmark past M&A transactions in the healthcare sector to help them establish a competitive fee structure for different transaction types.

Syven:

• Developed a proprietary database
• Implemented a process for regular maintenance and updates

The client used Syven's continually updating database to revise their fee structure.
