What does QueensGiant do?

QueensGiant LLC operates as QueensGiant Independent Capital Markets Advisory, a New York-based boutique investment banking firm founded in 2018 by Phillip Toth. The firm publicly describes an advisory offering across outsourced capital markets, capital raising, private securitizations, structured finance, and strategic M&A and advisory.

QueensGiant describes its model as non-conflicted, with no proprietary products, principal investing, inventory positions, or allocation competitions. The homepage states a transaction-size range of $10M-$5B.[1][2]

QueensGiant publicly states that it provides outsourced capital markets, capital raising, private securitizations, structured finance, and strategic M&A and advisory services. Its capital-raising description includes capital planning, valuation, financial modeling, credit facilities, mezzanine capital, whole-loan purchases, forward flows, and securitizations.

For specialty-finance clients, the firm describes strategic M&A work including founder exits, platform sales to strategic buyers or private equity, minority recapitalizations, competitive-auction management, valuation analysis, and buyer identification.[2][3][4]

What should a business owner evaluate before hiring QueensGiant?

Owners evaluating QueensGiant can clarify how the firm’s strategic M&A, capital-markets, structured-finance, and specialty-finance capabilities would apply to the proposed mandate. The publicly displayed transactions are representative and largely anonymized, so an owner may wish to request named M&A references, the firm’s exact role on comparable engagements, and references involving founder exits, platform sales, or strategic M&A.

Other points to clarify include the buyer categories and named institutions that would be targeted, the division of activities between QueensGiant and Finalis Securities LLC, any transaction-based compensation, and the proposed retainer, success fee, expenses, exclusivity, tail, termination, and indemnification terms. The firm should also be asked what valuation, revenue, EBITDA, asset-composition, and transaction-size characteristics qualify for a mandate.[1][2][4]

What size transactions and clients does QueensGiant focus on?

QueensGiant identifies banks and credit unions, specialty finance, fintech, commercial real estate, physical and digital infrastructure, energy, and shipping and maritime among its public focus areas. Its specialty-finance description identifies consumer lenders, marketplace platforms, equipment finance companies, and specialty credit originators seeking institutional funding and liquidity solutions.[1][4]

The official homepage displays representative transaction examples rather than a complete transaction list. Examples include:

• $300,000,000 private ABS transaction involving consumer loans and an A/B/Residual structure.
• $150,000,000 credit facility involving auto loans and a revolver-plus-accordion structure.
