Stephens' Equity Capital Markets Group has a long history of
helping clients access growth capital necessary to meet their
financial goals and objectives. We offer value-added insight
to the public markets and believe our exclusive focus on small and
mid-market institutional buyers, coupled with our growing private
client group, brings an attractive mix of institutional and retail
distribution.
We advise clients on a range of equity offerings and types of
securities, including IPOs and Follow on offerings. We also have
considerable experience in helping selling shareholders, including
private equity investors, to realize the value of their investments
through secondary offerings of their holdings.
Our [Corporate Strategies Group] rounds out our public equity
markets capabilities through its focus on assisting clients with
large block trades of securities including corporate stock
buybacks.
Private Placement of Equity

Providing client access to the private capital markets is a core
focus for Stephens. Our team is well-positioned to provide
independent advice on sourcing and structuring capital raises from
$[15] million to several hundred million, for refinancings,
M&A, and/or corporate growth. Our team offers extensive
relevant experience advising family-owned private companies,
later-stage emerging companies and established, profitable
businesses seeking growth capital and/or shareholder
liquidity.
As specialists in structuring and negotiating private financings,
we advise clients on placing a range of private equity capital
transactions, including:
- Private equity placements
- "PIPE" financings (private placements for public equity)
for publicly traded companies who have a need to raise capital in
smaller amounts on a timely basis.
