Story behind the Name

Story behind the Name


While the name sounds unusual for the common individual, it was with great research into the history of Investment Banking that gave rise to the existence of this company name. The team at Pierpont is inspired by this story. Pierpont is the middle name of one of the most influential men in the history of the finance world, the kingpin of Wall Street, the lead man behind the mergers & acquisitions, the founder of General Electric and the force behind world's first billion dollar company, United States Steel Corporation. A business magnate, financier and a philanthropist, he is none other than John Pierpont Morgan or simply J. P. Morgan.


For the curious mind, Pierpont was renowned for having a keen and intuitive eye, on a vast scale both in quality and scope, which reflects the pillars of Pierpont Ventures, as a company driven to serve its clients by going that extra mile to be the preferred partner in Corporate Finance in Sri Lanka. Our core values with which we work and adhere are in our corporate profile. We are a firm which will practice what we preach as the minimum standard, and move beyond rhetoric, to assist our valued clients as a responsible corporate citizen.
