Description: PIPR Piper Sandler Companies

Piper Sandler Companies is a U.S.-headquartered investment bank and institutional securities firm that provides investment banking, institutional sales and trading, research, and advisory services to corporations, private equity groups, public entities, non-profits, and institutional investors in the United States and abroad. The company was founded in 1895 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, was previously known as Piper Jaffray Companies, and adopted its current name in January 2020.

The firm operates across several core business areas, including corporate advisory (mergers and acquisitions, equity and debt financings, private placements, restructuring, and debt capital markets advisory), public finance investment banking serving state and local governments, special districts, and sectors such as education, healthcare, housing, and transportation, as well as municipal financial advisory and loan placement, and over-the-counter derivative products. It also provides equity and fixed income trade execution, fundamental equity and macro research, and fixed income sales and trading solutions to clients including banks, registered investment advisors, credit unions, asset managers, and insurance companies.

In addition, Piper Sandler runs an alternative asset management platform that invests firm capital and manages outside capital through merchant banking and healthcare-focused funds. The company is listed on the NYSE under the ticker PIPR, is classified within the GICS Financials sector under the Investment Banking & Brokerage sub-industry, and as a mid-cap firm it is generally oriented toward middle-market advisory and capital markets transactions rather than the bulge-bracket global investment banks.
