Unequalled Depth, Recognized Quality

KBW produces industry-leading research on more financial services companies than any other brokerage firm. Our Research Group follows the majority of the financial services companies in the S&P 500 and Dow Jones STOXX 600 Index, as well as hundreds of other U.S. and European financial services companies on a daily basis. The Group’s research provides the foundation for five widely followed industry indices: the KBW Bank Index (BKX), the KBW Insurance Index (KIX), the KBW Capital Markets Index (KSX), the KBW Mortgage Financial Index (MFX), and the KBW Regional Banking Index (KRX).

The depth and breadth of our global research provides us with a uniquely expansive view of the issues facing the entire financial services industry. The quality of our work is regularly cited by independent research firms and financial publications as among the industry’s best.

Providing a Unique Perspective

We are bottom-up analysts, keenly aware of the differences among companies in an industry segment. As a result, we can offer our clients a unique perspective on the relative values among financial services companies. Our decades of experience enables us to look beyond the numbers to understand an organization’s intangibles: the credibility of its management, the achievability of its business plan, the sustainability of its competitive position.

To maintain our hard-earned reputation and to continue to produce outstanding results, the KBW Research Group is dedicated solely to hands-on, original research and analysis, a rarity among brokerage firms. Our goal is to remain a trusted source in all market environments, providing objective and timely intelligence. Integrity is our watchword. We put the interests of our investor clients first.
