Downers

-Really the only downer is that because it is a newer firm, not all sub-verticals are covered yet. SO if you're interested in a super-nichey sector, another bank might be better.

Comments

-"We want to take all the good things we had at Bear Stearns and leave all the bad things behind."
-"We want to be an idea-generating firm, not a how can we finance you? firm"
-They're seeking to be the predominant independent (i.e. non-bank-holding-company) and will continue to build the brand through conscientious SMD hirings.
