Banc of America Securities LLC
Banc of America Securities LLC Investment Banks/BrokersFinance Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, Banc of America Securities (BAS) is the investment banking subsidiary of Bank of America Corp (NYSE: BAC). The firm provides both the domestic and international equity and investment banking markets, and pursues a strategy pioneered by Citigroup that combines corporate lending with investment banking advice and services. They provide high-yield debt underwriting and leveraged finance, in addition to industry coverage groups such as healthcare, media and telecom, financial institutions, real estate and gaming. BAS also does a significant amount of work for Financial Sponsors, or private equity firms, often financing leveraged transactions. Following the strategy of Goldman Sachs, the firm lacks a standalone mergers and acquisitions department, instead employing mergers and acquisitions senior bankers throughout the industry coverage groups. The firm is registered as a broker/dealer with the SEC, is a member of the NYSE, and the NASD. The use of Banc in the BAS's name is indicative of the fact that the company is not a bank, and their deposits and other holdings are not insured by the FDIC. | Corporate Officer/Principal | 2003-04-29 |
McMahan Securities Co. LP
McMahan Securities Co. LP Investment Banks/BrokersFinance Founded in 1988, McMahan Securities Co. LP is a broker-dealer located in Greenwich, Connecticut. They uncover companies early in their growth curve and create new and substantial investment opportunities for their clients. They focus their research solely on companies issuing convertibles. The companies they follow are often young, strong, growing firms. They tend to be those in need of capital that are properly positioned in their markets. Sometimes, they are companies that are not well known or recognized, making it difficult for them to successfully market an initial fixed-income offering. Instead, they issue convertibles, which are attractive to purchasers for their ability to be converted into equity, allowing participation in the company's rapid growth. Strategically, they look for securities with favorable risk/reward characteristics, those with a limited downside risk but a real opportunity to participate in the upside if the stock moves positively. Convertible securities can achieve both fixed income and equity type returns. They are a member of the NASD and the SIPC. | Corporate Officer/Principal | - |
