Loop Capital Surpasses $1 Trillion in Municipal Finance Underwritings
Monumental milestone for one of the nation’s largest private investment banks
Chicago - August 11, 2015 - On the brink of its 18th anniversary, Loop Capital Markets surpassed the $1 trillion mark in
municipal finance underwritings. The milestone is a monumental one for the firm, whose thriving public finance division
was constructed within the first year of the company's inception and continues to see significant growth.
Since its founding, Loop Capital has participated in transactions with more than 2,500 state and local governments, higher
education institutions, transportation and housing agencies and public power and utility clients across 49 states, Puerto
Rico and Washington, D.C. Drawing upon the firm's foundational values of creating innovative client solutions, provid-
ing stellar client service and remaining at the forefront of industry shifts, Loop's experienced group of public finance pro-
fessionals remain marketplace leaders.
This year is set to be a benchmark one for Loop Capital overall as it garners achievements, accolades and revenue at an
accelerated pace. The firm's corporate investment banking division has been active in supporting corporate client capital
raising needs with numerous debt and equity deals through the first half of the year representing over $140 billion in par
value and multiple M&A advisory assignments across utility and power, industrial and healthcare clients. In addition,
year to date, Loop's global equity division is trading, on average, more than 20 million shares per day and has traded in
more than 50 markets across the globe. Likewise, trading volumes for the company's taxable fixed income division are up
nearly 40 percent year over year. Further, the transition management division, which was ranked #1 in the industry last
year by CIO Magazine, has transitioned over $7 billion in assets, year to date, on behalf of various public and corporate
pension funds.
"This is truly a very exciting time for our business," says Jim Reynolds, Loop Capital's Chairman and CEO. “We have
reached a level of excellence and scale in our businesses that will propel our firm to substantial growth as we move for-
ward. Within the next three years, I fully expect to exceed the accomplishments that took us over a decade to achieve.
Every single business unit is experiencing substantial growth and we are moving into several new businesses that will
compliment that growth. Our clients, our outstanding personnel and our strategy have all come together to help ensure
Loop Capital continues to deliver a high level of service.”
