Specialized Equity Sales

KBW’s top-rated institutional equity sales team serves clients out of our New York, London, Boston, Hartford, Atlanta, San Francisco, and Hong Kong offices. Unlike many brokerage firms, all of our sales representatives are trained in the analysis of financial services companies. Our senior-most members have each garnered more than 15 years of market experience. The result is an unusually sophisticated sales team, well equipped to interpret and deliver the firm’s award-winning research, encompassing all types of financial services securities.

A Leading Market Maker

KBW is a member of the New York Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange, and has access to all major exchanges in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Our U.S. equity trading team, based in our New York, Boston, Hartford and San Francisco offices, makes markets in over 500 Nasdaq financial services stocks, and consistently ranks among the top traders of financial services securities. Our London and Hong Kong trading desks provide access to the major exchanges throughout Europe and Asia. The firm maintains relationships with many of the world’s largest and most sophisticated asset managers.

KBW is an active participant in corporate repurchase programs for small-, mid- and large-cap companies. We do not hesitate to put our own capital to work for clients, helping to increase the depth of liquidity in the marketplace. KBW is also a leader in risk arbitrage trading in announced M&A transactions in the sector.
