Piper Jaffray is a Minneapolis-based commercial investment banking firm that values itself on respect, integrity and teamwork. Piper Jaffray is a "middle market" firm, meaning that it manages between $5 million and $1 billion in client assets and that it is not rated in the top four financial powerhouses (based on number of employees, number of operational office, and dollar amount of investments managed). Being a middle market investment banking corporation has helped Piper Jaffray comfortably position itself as a trusted asset manager with world-wide reach while still having an accessible quality.

Like other heavy hitters in the commercial banking industry, Piper Jaffray offers a range of services that not only provide clients with electronic trading services but that also include (and are not limited to):

• Conducting research and analysis on market trends
• Managing assets for individuals, corporations, non-profits and governments
• Overseeing mergers and acquisitions
• Underwriting trades
