Private Placements

FBR Capital Markets is the dominant firm in the Rule 144A equity market, having raised $10.6 billion in 37 transactions in the last six years.  Its closest competitor raised $964 million in four transactions during the same period¹.  We believe this dominance is due largely to our distribution capability – among the broadest and deepest in the capital markets – our speed of execution, and a team of experienced, client-focused investment bankers.
