Create, manage, and close deals faster

Finding and driving mandates to close is a time-consuming effort. It relies on Managing Directors building, maintaining, and capturing their network for Associates to use. This data entry costs teams more than 200 hours each year. Affinity's relationship intelligence helps ensure your team sources enough of the right mandates, then supports the marketing and closing of those mandates more efficiently. Focus more time on revenue and less on manual, low value work.

Build and close deals with relationship intelligence

Sell-side mandates close 25% faster with a warm introduction. With Affinity, you're empowered to prospect and market deals more effectively through your team’s network. By automatically capturing your bank's collective network and every contact you have pitched a deal to, Affinity can assess and analyze every relationship to find the right connection to your next deal.
