Equity Research

With approximately 115 companies under coverage, the Financial Institutions Equity Research team is focused on providing deep coverage within the three key sectors of banking, insurance, and securities and brokerage firms. Although the coverage emphasis of our six Financial Institutions Equity Research analysts is on dynamic, middle-market growth companies, the team’s go-deep research philosophy results in coverage of companies of a variety of market capitalizations.
