Sagient Research Systems, announces U.S. PIPE market's Most Active Investment Bank, Most Active Institutional Investor, Most Active Issuer Counsel, Most Active Investor Counsel, and Most Active Placement Agent Counsel during the first quarter of 2013.


San Diego, April 3, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sagient Research Systems, a leading publisher of independent research for the financial services and institutional investment communities, today announced that Dawson James Securities Inc. ranked as the number one most active investment bank and Deerfield Management ranked as the number one most active institutional investor in the U.S. PIPE market during the first quarter of 2013.

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 Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP ranked as the number one most active placement agent counsel in the U.S. PIPE market during the first quarter of 2013.

The data was compiled using PlacementTracker, a flagship product of Sagient Research Systems, recognized as the leading source 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, "A total of $7.3 billion was raised in 203 transactions in the U.S. PIPE market during the first quarter this year. Of this amount, 7 transactions totaling $76 million have been announced but not yet closed as of 4/02/13. With major market indices finally back to all time highs, there has never been a better time for issuers to raise capital through PIPEs and we expect a busy year ahead. We congratulate all of the active members of the PIPE community who made the league tables this quarter, and wish them continued success the rest of the year. Most of these firms are long-time clients of PlacementTracker, and we are dedicated to providing them with the resources to stay on top of our ever-changing industry."
