NEW YORK & CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ORIX Corporation USA (“ORIX USA”) and Hilco Global, a diversified global financial services firm headquartered outside of Chicago, IL, today announced the completion of ORIX USA’s acquisition of a majority equity ownership of Hilco Global. Hilco Global will operate as a subsidiary of ORIX USA. Together, both businesses have an enhanced ability to deliver diversified financial services capabilities and a broad range of investment capital solutions that create long-term value for their shared client base. The Hilco Global executive leadership team will retain a minority equity ownership position going forward.

As part of the transaction, Hilco Global will simplify its operating structure into a parent company with two divisions, Professional Services and Capital Solutions, which will build upon the firm’s successful valuation, monetization, and advisory capabilities while expanding its services as an asset manager providing more robust private credit solutions and principal investing.

Hilco Global Professional Services will expand the firm’s current suite of consultative practices, providing asset valuation expertise, building on Hilco Global’s reputation as one of the smartest asset appraisal firms in the world. This division will also expand the business’ strategic and operational advisory capabilities across restructuring and turnaround, real estate, performance solutions, capital transactions, intellectual property, litigation support, cyber security, geopolitical consulting, and more.

Hilco Global Capital Solutions will expand Hilco Global’s asset management investing, particularly through asset-based private credit lending, which will benefit from ORIX USA’s capital and lending expertise and capabilities. Additionally, the Capital Solutions division will continue balance sheet investing and asset monetization across the retail, wholesale, commercial industrial, real estate, and intellectual property industries.

“We are proud to officially welcome Hilco Global to ORIX USA,” said Terry Suzuki, President and Chief Executive Officer of ORIX USA. “We look forward to working together to accelerate our shared growth. Adding Hilco Global’s expertise, relationships, and sources of origination to ORIX USA’s portfolio will position us well to maximize value for our investors, clients, and partners.”

“It has never been a more exciting time at Hilco Global, and we are so pleased to have ORIX USA as our long-term partner,” said Jeffrey B. Hecktman, Founding Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Hilco Global. “We are expanding our platform, growing our emerging private credit business, and winning bigger transaction mandates across the market. Looking ahead, our unmatched valuation expertise and intellectual capital will power the success of our growing advisory offering, which sits in our Professional Services division, as well as the robust private credit business we are building within our Capital Solutions division. The simplification of our structure will position us well to execute on our strategy, generate momentum, and create enduring value for all our stakeholders.”
