Our staff of nearly 100 experienced professionals is known for its uncompromising commitment to individualized client service – and for the exceptional results that produces.

We believe – and our clients report – that there are four key strengths that set us apart: our people, distribution, underwriting abilities and capital.

People.
Experience and client-focus are the two common traits of all our sales, trading and underwriting professionals. They average 21 years of institutional experience, and have come to LCM from virtually all of the big name financial services firms because they believe that the best way to succeed is to first make certain your client succeeds.

Distribution.
We provide our clients the finest distribution capabilities and coverage, effectively broadening the base of high-quality investors and providing access to new veins of demand. Our institutional sales force – one of the most experienced in the industry – provides direct coverage of over 450 first, second, third and fourth tier institutional accounts.

Underwriting.
Loop Capital has the prerequisite expertise to lead transactions and the financial resources to commit in the key areas we underwrite. We are known for providing innovative solutions in challenging situations through a process that includes: meticulous development of market and investor intelligence; underwriting bonds; providing secondary market support on all underwritten issues; creating an open line of communication with investors and credit dynamics; and broadening retail and institutional distribution for underwritten deals.

Capital.
Financial strength is key to the effectiveness of any investment banking firm. At Loop Capital, we are extensively capitalized, with a capital base including significant equity, capital, subordinated debt and secured bank lines of credit. As a result, we are well prepared to support our client’s financing and investment activities with capital.
