Convertibles

Lehman Brothers excels in underwriting conventional and highly structured convertible securities. These securities offer issuers vast corporate finance flexibility and are an increasingly important part of the capital markets.

The Firm's Convertibles Sales, Trading and Research team continues to build strong relationships with our clients servicing both the fundamental and hedge fund investor community. Our Sales and Trading team is active in all markets, buying and selling convertible securities throughout the world.

Lehman Brothers also launched a U.S. Convertibles Index which tracks over 780 securities across 65 sub-indices — one of the most comprehensive convertible indices published.
