Piper Jaffray sold its midstream energy business to Tortoise Capital Advisors and agreed to a management buy-out of the remaining Advisory Research business. Our firm advised Piper Jaffray in the transactions, which are expected to generate $60 million to $70 million of upfront net cash proceeds.
The sales marked Piper Jaffray’s exit from its traditional asset management business.
