PlacementTracker Publishes PIPE Market League Tables


San Diego, Oct. 3, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sagient Research Systems, a leading publisher of independent research for the financial services and institutional investment communities, today announced that Roth Capital Partners, LLC ranked as the number one most active investment bank and Fidelity Management & Research Corporation ranked as the number one most active institutional investor in the U.S. PIPE market during the first three quarters of 2012.    We are also pleased to announce for the first time the most active investment bank in the healthcare sector: Cowen and Company, LLC.

Sagient Research also announced that Cooley LLP ranked as the number one most active issuer counsel, Schulte Roth & Zabel, LLP ranked as the number one most active investor counsel, and Goodwin Procter, LLP ranked as the number one most active placement agent counsel in the U.S. PIPE market through the first three quarters of 2012.

PlacementTracker, a flagship product of Sagient Research Systems, is well recognized as the leading provider of research, data, and analytics covering the PIPE market.

Commenting on the activity in the PIPE market, Robert Kyle, Sagient Research's Chief Executive Officer said, "During the first three quarters of 2012, a total of $21.4 billion was raised in 642 transactions (of this amount, 8 transactions totaling $81.5 million have been announced but not yet closed as of 10/2/12).  This compares to $22 billion raised through 740 transactions during the first three quarters of 2011. Although overall private deal volume is down year over year, activity in the healthcare sector has been strong so far in 2012, growing 13% by deal activity and 36% by amount raised.    We congratulate all of the active members of the PIPE community for continued success in 2012.  Many of our clients who are active in the growing healthcare sector are also taking advantage of our BioMedTracker product, which helps them better understand and keep track of the issuer's position in the biotech competitive landscape."
