Quest Partners

Quest Partners

M&A advisory and strategic corporate finance

Overview

Quest Partners provides advisory services to small and mid-sized companies around the world on mergers and acquisitions, as well as corporate, financial, and investment matters. It mainly supports M&A deals but also helps with strategic planning, restructurings and turnarounds, international expansion, valuation, and corporate finance. The service works through expert guidance and execution support—assessing targets and risks, crafting deal and growth strategies, conducting due diligence, financing options, and cross-border execution to close transactions. The firm differentiates itself with the experience of its managing partners, who have over 40 years of combined entrepreneurial, advisory, and corporate experience, and a focus on delivering sustainable value for clients rather than quick, one-off transactions. Its goal is to help clients grow and improve value through successful deals, strategic growth, and financially sound reorganizations across international markets.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • February 2026 SEC filing still shows active New York operations and reporting cadence.
  • The 2025 advisory board brought Robert K. Steel, Marcy Engel, and Jonathan Hitchon.
  • Quest’s long institutional client list and prior $2.5 billion AUM signal durable market credibility.

What critics are saying

  • Bloomberg reported February 2026 closure after three straight losing years and 30% drawdown.
  • Shutdown means jobs, strategies, and client relationships disappear as capital returns to investors.
  • Quant models failed since October 2022; persistence destroys the firm’s existential edge.

What makes Quest Partners unique

  • Nigol Koulajian built Quest Partners in 2001 around systematic multi-asset trading.
  • The firm traded currencies, commodities, equity indices, and fixed income across 50-plus markets.
  • In January 2025, Quest rebranded AlphaQuest and added an advisory board.
