Key Historical Highlights
Duff & Phelps was founded in 1932 to provide high quality investment research. Over the next six decades, the firm diversified by adding investment banking, credit rating and investment management services. In 1994, the company sold its credit rating business. In 2005, Duff & Phelps strengthened its core valuation capabilities with the acquisition of Standard & Poor's Corporate Value Consulting (CVC) business. Since then, Duff & Phelps has continued to expand and develop. In 2006, it acquired specialty investment bank Chanin Capital Partners, LLC and in 2007, it formed a strategic alliance with Tokyo-based Shinsei Bank, Ltd.
