ORIX Finance has a small firm culture, one we wish to maintain even as we grow. It’s important to us to differentiate ourselves from “bulge bracket” firms that feature multiple layers of management, anonymity and inertia.
Our Firm
Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Dallas, Texas, ORIX Finance has since grown to over $3 billion in assets with more than 100 employees throughout the country. We provide a variety of credit and equity products to medium-sized, privately held and publicly traded companies that are investing in their own growth, either internally or through acquisitions. We are also an active and successful investor in the public debt and equity markets.
Our affiliation with Houlihan Lokey, a global investment bank, is a major competitive differentiator that allows us to provide a full range of financial products and services to our mid-sized client base. As we expand our operations internationally, we get closer to our primary goal of building the most innovative financial services company in the world.
Our Values
We have and want to retain a small firm culture as we grow. At ORIX Finance, you won’t find the multiple layers of management, anonymity and inertia found at a “bulge bracket” firm; but we aren’t hedge fund cowboys either.
We compete based on the quality of our people, and believe that this creates a competitive advantage versus much larger firms. We are committed to diversity, and value every individual’s ideas, feedback and perspective. We take risk and make important decisions on a consensus basis as we believe that approach creates the best outcomes.
While we are majority-owned by ORIX Corporation, a $68 billion global financial services company, we are managed locally and our employees have a meaningful ownership stake. We believe that this ownership culture affirms a collective commitment to our future success.
Our Business Approach
We are committed to enhancing value for our clients and for our firm through creating financing solutions that help our clients meet their business goals.
Our business approach is simple. We endeavor to deliver on our commitments on time, to exceed expectations, to solve problems, and to deliver an outstanding level of client service and responsiveness. We take risk, with our clients and in the capital markets, in order to generate superior returns for our shareholders and to provide a financially rewarding, challenging and intellectually stimulating work environment for our employees.
We are disciplined risk takers and balance our desire to grow assets and profits by making lending and investing decisions based on fundamental research and intensive analysis. Our goal is to preserve and grow our capital base with our profits, and to actively analyze and manage risk throughout our portfolio to avoid unexpected loss.
Our Expectations
As a growth company, we have high expectations for all of our staff. We demand superlative work product, well researched and fact based ideas, creative thinking and client focus. Those that succeed at ORIX Finance are hard working, competitive, adaptable and team oriented – people that seek out new challenges and constantly test their own limits.
We are seeking candidates that fit our firm’s culture and those that want to help achieve our goals, individuals that find the challenges and rewards of taking the “road less traveled” to be exciting and want to be part of our long term growth plans.
