Unequalled Depth, Recognized Quality

KBW produces industry-leading research on more financial services companies than any other brokerage firm. Over 40 research analysts provide hands-on detailed analyses on more than 500 U.S. and European financial institutions. We cover the entire spectrum of the financial services arena, including banks, brokers, mortgage and equity REITs, property and casualty insurers, life insurers, reinsurers, and other insurance companies.

The breadth and depth 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 survey firms and financial publications as among the industry’s best.

Providing a Unique Perspective

We are fundamental analysts and we believe we offer our clients a unique perspective on the relative values among financial services companies. Our decades of experience enable us to look beyond the numbers to understand an organization’s indirect variables, the credibility of its management, the viability of its business plan, and the sustainability of its competitive position.

To maintain our hard-earned reputation of providing quality research and to continue producing outstanding results, the KBW Research Group is dedicated to original research analysis. Our goal is to remain a trusted source in all market environments, providing objective and timely intelligence. Integrity is our watchword.

KBW Breadth

KBW’s footprint is substantial in terms of market share and impact within the financial services arena.

We create solutions that cut across financial industries and types of transactions to help our clients achieve their goals.

The broad range of our research coverage 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).
