About KBW Equity Research

In June of 1962, Harry Keefe, Jr., Gene Bruyette, and Norbert Woods founded Keefe, Bruyette & Woods (KBW) along with five other employees and $50,000 in capital. Together, the founders launched KBW with a vision of the future and a belief in personal accountability during a time when investors purchased bank stocks for the dividend yield alone. Few banks published balance sheets or earnings statements, and research was nearly nonexistent. With the addition of sales, trading, and research operations, and a clear focus on regional banks, the company has branched out since its founding. KBW is now widely considered the leading expert on all financial sub-sectors.
