Specialized Equity Sales

KBW’s top-rated institutional equity sales team serves clients out of our New York, Boston, Hartford, Atlanta, San Francisco, London, 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 more than fifteen 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, the NASDAQ Stock Market, the London Stock Exchange, and other major exchanges in the U.S. and Europe. Our U.S. equity trading team makes markets in more than 1,000 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.

KBW 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.

Equity Capital Markets and Corporate Services

The firm’s Equity Capital Markets Group works closely with KBW’s Corporate Finance Department to provide our clients with a complete range of global, equity-based, capital-raising solutions. Our Private Client and Corporate Services Group serves executives and high-net-worth individuals interested in Rule 144 stock sales, private placements, employee option program exercises, and investments in financial stocks as part of a wealth management strategy.
