Business Wire
Piper Jaffray Companies (NYSE: PJC), a leading investment bank
and asset management firm, today completed its purchase of BMO
Capital Markets GKST Inc. (“GKST”), BMO Capital Markets’ municipal
bond sales, trading and origination business. The transaction
follows last month’s closing of Piper Jaffray’s acquisition of
another Chicago-based firm, River Branch Holdings LLC.
The GKST acquisition, which was announced in July, adds depth
and breadth to Piper Jaffray’s fixed income institutional sales,
trading and underwriting platform, in addition to increasing the
firm’s public finance presence in the Illinois market. It will also
strengthen the firm’s strategy and analytics capabilities as it
continues to build out its financial institutions franchise.
“We are pleased to welcome GKST to our firm. As we bring our
talented teams and capabilities together, we will provide broader
and stronger fixed income offerings for clients, while expanding
our presence in the Chicago market,” said Andrew Duff, chairman and
CEO of Piper Jaffray.
Terms of the transactions were not disclosed.
