Nationally recognized full service technology focused institutional investment banking boutique. Through its capital markets sales and trading business the Company distributes its highly focused technology industry equity research to institutional money management clients throughout North America. The Company's investment banking business concentrates on public offerings, private placements and M&A advisory.
From 1990 to 2002 the Company has shown consistent growth and maintained profitability as it has migrated, first, from its fixed income business strategy, and second, from its Pacific Northwest regional full service investment bank business strategy. Today, Pacific Crest, according to Institutional Investor magazine, is the nation's number one ranked technology investment banking boutique. It has been consistently profitable even during its business model transitions in the early 1990s and 1996 and in the difficult technology-investing period since 2000.
