Capital Markets
Sales and TradingWunderlich’s Sales and Trading department is built on unrivaled relationships based on decades of experience and a passion for the equity capital markets. The Department consists of 10 institutional salespeople with over 100 years' combined experience in the institutional equity business with strong backgrounds in the industries we cover. Our goal is to provide accurate, succinct and timely information to our institutional clients. We believe that in order to be relevant to clients we must build our differentiated research product with our clients as partners. Their advice and counsel will help us better meet their needs. Currently, we have institutional sales offices in Denver and Baltimore and are in the process of building a meaningful presence in New York. Our sales force works closely with the managements of the companies we cover to schedule private visits and conferences with our institutional clients.
The Institutional Equity Trading staff consists of 4 traders with an average experience level of 20 plus years whose main focus is the needs of our institutional customers. Our team-oriented approach with strong relationships and advanced technology allows us to provide our customers a personalized level of service by experienced professionals that has been lost in recent years. Our salestraders work each order individually on all exchanges eliminating the bureaucracy of execution. Our experience in trading illiquid stocks provides our clients with a value added approach to executing large blocks of stock under the radar screens of the broader markets.
