Insights
The strategic expansion of Houlihan Lokey's Capital Markets Group reveals a calculated move to capitalize on the burgeoning alternative lending market. The $18 billion raised across 80+ transactions in 2024 demonstrates the firm's substantial market presence, while the addition of Carle Felton in Atlanta strengthens their regional footprint in a key financial hub.
The expansion carries several strategic implications. First, establishing a stronger presence in Atlanta positions HLI to better serve the Southeast's growing middle-market segment, where private equity activity has been particularly robust. Second, Felton's expertise in private equity-owned and family-owned businesses aligns perfectly with HLI's target market, as these segments increasingly seek sophisticated financing solutions beyond traditional bank lending.
With over 100 dedicated finance professionals across 13 global offices, HLI's Capital Markets Group has built a formidable platform that differentiates it from boutique competitors while challenging larger investment banks. This scale is important as private capital markets become more complex and specialized, requiring deep expertise across various financing structures and industry verticals.
The timing of this expansion is particularly strategic given the current market dynamics. As traditional lending becomes more constrained due to regulatory pressures and economic uncertainty, alternative capital providers are filling the void, creating opportunities for firms with strong private capital relationships. HLI's continued investment in this space suggests confidence in the sustained growth of alternative financing solutions and their ability to capture market share in this evolving landscape.

“Houlihan Lokey’s prescient observations regarding the growth of the alternative asset class have enabled the firm to establish one of the largest and best independent private capital markets platforms in financial services.
