Equity Capital Markets

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 Securities
 
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.
