Our Profile
What Sets Us Apart
FBR Capital Markets focuses exclusively on areas in which we can clearly make a difference and add value. We do this by establishing broad and deep specialized industry platforms that offer detailed industry knowledge and sector-concentrated expertise in research, trading, distribution, investing, mergers and acquisitions and capital-raising.
We have the capacity to react quickly when needed to meet the demands of a rapidly changing marketplace, and we are known in the industry for our ability to get deals done, often in ways that involve the use of innovative transaction structures. From January 2003 to December 2007, we completed more 144A common stock private placements to institutional investors than the rest of the industry combined,2 and during the same period we were the #1 book-running manager for all U.S. common stock transactions for issuers with market capitalizations of $1 billion or less.3
FBR Capital Markets has a highly effective, differentiated distribution capability based on long-standing relationships with a broad cross-section of institutional capital markets clients. We believe our institutional brokerage professionals – one of the most knowledgeable sales teams in the industry – are distinguished by their in-depth understanding of the companies and industries on which we focus. Many of our institutional clients have been long-standing investors in transactions that we have brought to the capital markets and have continued to have a close relationship with us as they have grown in size and assets under management.
Our early trading roots were with small hedge funds and other smaller, typically regional institutional accounts. Over the years, we served these clients well, earning their respect with a solid track record of success. As a result, in addition to the top 50 institutional accounts which we and our competitors serve, we have the ability to communicate effectively with and distribute securities through a substantial network of mid-size institutional clients.
In the first quarter of 2007, we significantly expanded our mergers and acquisitions capability, adding a 26-person advisory team with substantial experience serving middle market companies in consumer products, energy, business services and diversified industrials. This acquisition offers clients a more complete array of banking services, enhances our resources and advisory expertise and strengthens our middle market investment banking presence. We are also building a reputation for our work with private block trades and public and private recapitalizations.
We are in the process of expanding our cross-border capital markets capabilities. FBR International, Ltd., based in London, specializes in institutional brokerage and corporate finance and covers the United Kingdom and continental Europe. Our London office now includes a growing investment banking presence along with the sales and trading unit established nearly a decade ago. We currently are adding dedicated trading, research and investment banking professionals for European equities and debt issues.
Having our headquarters in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area is a distinct advantage. Our Washington Policy Analysis group provides a vital regulatory and legislative overlay to our analyses of companies and their sectors. Their access and experience enable us to judge the implications of unfolding events at their earliest stages, enabling us to provide clients with a unique perspective on legislative and regulatory actions that often have a far ranging impact on business and investment decisions.
Additionally, FBR Capital Markets’ research team brings an on-the-ground perspective to the analysis of companies doing business with the government, providing what we believe to be the most comprehensive defense, government information technology and homeland security coverage in the industry.
