GCA Savvian

GCA Savvian was a prominent global investment bank that provided M&A, capital markets, and strategic advisory services, with a specialized focus on the healthcare, technology, and digital media industries. Formed in 2006 through the merger of Japan's GCA and the US-based Savvian, the firm established itself as a leader in cross-border transactions involving life sciences and medical technology companies. In 2016, the company expanded its European footprint by merging with Altium to form GCA Altium. The firm was eventually acquired by Houlihan Lokey in 2021 for approximately $600 million. This acquisition integrated GCA’s extensive healthcare advisory expertise into Houlihan Lokey’s global platform, creating one of the largest technology and healthcare advisory teams in the world.
