Wall Street Is Finally Noticing Small Caps
JPMorgan announced this week that it is building a new investment banking team dedicated entirely to small-cap dealmaking, targeting companies valued between $100 million and $500 million. The team will sit alongside the bank’s existing middle-market group, which covers companies between $500 million and $1 billion and already employs nearly 400 bankers. According to an internal memo reported by Yahoo Finance, the new group will be based in New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, and Atlanta, with plans to hire more than 75 bankers in the near term. It will start by focusing on diversified industries, consumer and retail, and business services, led by new hire Michael Flynn, a veteran middle-market banker.
