Jean Potvin and Sam Levine will be part of the Institutional Sales Department in New York. “We are committed to our Equity Capital Markets business and are capitalizing on the opportunity created by the Raymond James-Morgan Keegan transaction to add depth to this group,” said Gary Wunderlich. Wunderlich Securities has experienced extraordinary growth over the past two years, particularly in Equity Capital Markets. With these hires, the ECM division founded in late 2008, today has 17 senior analysts covering approximately 210 companies in five industry verticals. The ECM sales force has grown to 19 senior salespersons, 9 traders/sales traders and 18 senior investment bankers. “Further expansion of ECM and to our Private Client Group is likely, in part because of all the excellent talent that has become available,” added Gary Wunderlich.
