Human-Centric Investment Banking with Global Reach

Intrepid Investment Bankers provides M&A and capital advisory services to middle-market companies.

Our own entrepreneurial roots, combined with MUFG (Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group), one of the largest financial institutions in the world, unlocks the best of both worlds for our clients: human-centric investment banking at a global scale.

Our unique culture attracts, develops and retains the best talent in the industry. Through client-centered deal making, best-in-class market intelligence, global capital resources, and extensive access to acquirers and capital providers, our bankers work tenaciously to deliver the value in each business beyond conventional metrics.

Our Story

Founders

Intrepid’s principals have a long history of collaboration, dating back to 1985. They began their journey with Barrington Associates, which grew to prominence before being acquired by Wells Fargo Securities in 2006. In 2010, seven partners from Barrington came together to establish Intrepid Investment Bankers, a firm dedicated to serving the unique needs of middle-market clients. In 2019, Intrepid was acquired by MUFG, further enhancing its capabilities as the bank’s dedicated middle-market investment banking arm.

National Presence, Global Impact

Intrepid is based in Los Angeles, with offices in San Francisco, Chicago, Charlotte, and New York. As a member of MUFG our bankers have access to the extensive global footprint of one of the largest financial institutions in the world.

In 2019, Intrepid became a member of banking and financial services company, MUFG (Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group).

This ownership structure provides our clients with a unique value proposition: the multinational reach and liquidity of one of the world’s biggest banks, combined with the highly personal, relationship-driven philosophy of a specialty boutique. Or as we like to say, human-centric banking at a global scale.

Access to MUFG’s vast network allows Intrepid’s bankers to customize the unique resources, infrastructure and expertise each business requires.
