Through a team of dedicated professionals, Stephens excels in
helping clients access public and/or private capital. We maintain a
strong focus on quality over quantity in areas where we possess
significant industry knowledge.
Public Equity & Debt
Stephens' Capital Markets Group has a
long history of helping clients access growth capital
necessary to meet their financial goals and objectives. Stephens
has participated in raising more than $26 billion through 95 public
offerings in the last five years. We offer value-added insight to
the public markets on a macro and industry-specific basis. We
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.
Private Placement of Debt
& Equity Securities
Providing client access to the private capital markets is a core
focus for Stephens. Whether it be equity financing, subordinated
mezzanine or senior debt, our team is well-positioned to provide
unconflicted advice on sourcing and structuring capital raises of
$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.
Over the last five years,
Stephens has acted as placement agent on 36 private debt or equity
placements raising roughly $1 billion in capital. Specialists in
structuring and negotiating private financings, we advise clients
placing a range of security types, including:
- Secured and Unsecured Senior
Notes
- Second Lien Notes
- Mezzanine and Subordinated Debt
Structures
- Private Equity
- We also have extensive experience in
private placements, or "PIPE" financings, for publicly traded
companies who have a need to raise capital in smaller amounts on a
timely basis.
