Corp Fin Risk Solutions?

Anyone heard of a group like this? Would appreciate insight for ranking purposes. I'm told this involves heavy quantitative analysis and is definitely front office.

Description: [Group] advises large corporate clients across several industry sectors on corporate finance policies such as capital structure, cost of capital, return on capital, capital allocation, dividend and share repurchase policy in the context of the intrinsic value of the company, integrated risk management (e.g. foreign exchange, interest rate, commodities, and counterparty risk). The analysis focuses on optimizing the corporate financial policies with corporate strategy.

Role: Develop and utilize proprietary statistical models and techniques, including Monte Carlo simulation and multifactor regression analysis to evaluate debt capacity and credit rating impact of individual financings or M&A transactions
Work with a seniors interdisciplinary team to provide customized solutions and ideas addressing company operations as well as accounting, regulatory, and tax issues
Provide product-neutral advice on strategic financial topics including shareholder value maximization strategies, credit rating advisory, cost of capital, and dividend policy

Would you rank this ahead of ECM or not? Goal is more of a traditional IBD role for FT and hopefully PE later down the road.

Thanks in advance.
