Our Delphi team serves global markets

Delphi Brief History

Our beginning…

Delphi was formed in 1992 in New York as International Structured Finance Corp. It was originally focused on all aspects of large financial transactions in the capital markets, and it successfully participated in the issuance of several billion dollars worth of securities in the global capital markets. But, as with all things, markets became more competitive and Delphi began to specialize.

Whereas a financial transaction normally requires five things: 1) legal work, 2) credit work, 3) operations development, 4) valuation systems, and 5) marketing – Delphi found that in the US markets, it was best able to specialize in items 2 and 4 – credit work and valuation systems. This led specialization in the US – but left Delphi able to effectively serve financial institutions in the global markets.
