Phillip Toth and QueensGiant: Crafting a Modern Boutique for an Evolving Capital Market

A modern capital market requires more than speed or novel instruments. It needs a synthesis of technological fluency, disciplined analytics, and human judgment to direct capital where it creates durable value. Recognizing this evolution, Phillip Toth founded QueensGiant LLC to embody a forward-thinking ethos. The firm is designed not merely to compete but to innovate and adapt, engineering bespoke financing pathways that reflect each client's priorities.

QueensGiant is a boutique investment banking firm specializing in asset finance, with a focus on private credit, structured financings, and asset-backed transactions. Based in New York, it primarily serves insurance companies and asset managers, acting as a principled intermediary that connects issuers and sponsors with the right pools of capital through non-conflicted advisory.

Its primary services are advisory and capital procurement. QueensGiant supports clients with capital planning and valuation, robust financial modeling, market-ready documentation, and the arrangement of credit facilities, mezzanine capital, whole loan purchases, forward flow agreements, and securitizations. The firm's alternative credit capabilities enable it to originate and co-invest in direct lending and specialty credit, providing exposure across a range of debt products and tailored investment structures. The company prides itself on its ability to raise all forms of capital.

Relationship-building and trust are at the heart of QueensGiant's philosophy. If larger institutions often rely on standardized products or face internal conflicts, QueensGiant prioritizes tailored structuring and transparent alignment with client objectives. Its boutique model fosters creative, flexible solutions and fee structures that evolve with each transaction. "Our responsibility is to translate complexity into clarity. That's how we earn enduring trust," Toth states.

The firm blends deep market relationships with modern analytics. Its team leverages decades of investor contacts built on trading desks and in capital markets, enhanced by big data techniques and machine learning to refine pricing, sourcing, and risk assessment. Professionally packaged presentations, rigorous underwriting, and hands-on negotiation management help clients accelerate execution while achieving stronger structural outcomes and pricing transparency.

Toth's background shaped the firm's DNA. His early career in Southeast Asia, where he co-founded a regional boutique, taught him the value of combining local market insight with disciplined structuring. Years spent on institutional trading desks further deepened his investor relationships. Returning to banking, he was driven by the conviction that a specialized boutique could better serve institutional needs. This combination of boutique banking, trading experience, and academic engagement informs QueensGiant's client-first approach.

QueensGiant's team draws on deep global transaction experience and strong institutional relationships. This foundation allows the firm to thoughtfully structure opportunities and connect with investor networks that are often less accessible to smaller or first-time issuers. By emphasizing tailored solutions, clear documentation, and data-informed valuation, QueensGiant helps streamline smaller transactions. This makes private capital strategies more accessible and less time-intensive.

Ultimately, convincing clients to work with a boutique remains a practical challenge. To address this, QueensGiant emphasizes professional packaging, objective valuation, and go-to-market readiness, supported by flexible, assignment-based fees. "We are stewards of capital and architects of structure," Toth says. "Our judgment helps bridge the gap between standardized approaches and truly tailored outcomes." This conviction continues to guide the firm's path forward, with success measured by client outcomes and sustainable longevity.
