Founded in 1990, The Bridgeford
Group, Inc. is a mergers and acquisitions advisory
firm based in New York City. Bridgeford is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Mizuho Securities Co., Ltd., a member of the Mizuho Financial
Group.
Bridgeford was created to provide
value-added advisory services to Japanese, U.S. and European
multinational corporations in the following areas:
Bridgeford is unique in the way it
mobilizes banking executives from both Japan and top U.S. investment
banks to work jointly on financial advisory projects. This ensures
that its clients’ business deals are strategically relevant
and actionable, whether these enterprises are operating abroad
or in their home markets.
With regard to Japanese cross-border transactions, Bridgeford’s credentials
are unmatched. Together with its parent company, Bridgeford has
advised on some of the most significant cross-border transactions by Japanese acquirers in the U.S. and abroad. Additionally,
Bridgeford has represented many U.S. and European companies whose
strategic goals reach into Japan. In this respect, Bridgeford
is the investment "bridge" for East-West transactions.
