MAKE-UP OF 2017 BUYERS


This past year, GulfStar Group proudly won Boutique Investment Bank of the Year at the 16th Annual M&A Advisor Awards ,  completed 13 assignments across a broad spectrum of industries, hired an industry veteran to lead the firm's Healthcare practice and announced several key promotions and new hires.  We expect 2018 to be an even stronger year with the energy market coming back, domestic buyers stepping up to the plate and a robust pipeline of deals that are anticipated to close in the first half of the year.
