Retail Distribution Capabilities
JMP Group LLC (NYSE: JMP), an investment banking and alternative
asset management firm, announced today that Randy Billhardt has
joined JMP Securities as a managing director in the firm’s equity
capital markets division. Based in JMP Securities’ New York office,
Mr. Billhardt will focus on enhancing the firm’s retail
distribution capabilities.
“Randy has more than two decades of experience in the capital
markets, and over those years he cultivated relationships with a
vast number of corporate issuers, equity investors and Wall Street
counterparties,” said Tom Wright, director of equities at JMP
Securities. “At JMP, Randy will leverage his longstanding
relationships with many retail-oriented broker-dealers to extend
and improve the network of retail investors available to JMP when
placing securities offerings.”
“Randy’s addition will quickly benefit JMP’s corporate clients
who turn to us for underwriting services, granting them further
access to a large and important segment of the market with ample
demand for new issues,” said Kent Ledbetter, JMP Securities’
director of investment banking. “By aligning itself with a broader
selection of retail brokerages, JMP will reach an even deeper pool
of buyers for the IPOs and follow-on offerings it underwrites.”
Prior to joining JMP Securities, Mr. Billhardt was executive
managing director and head of capital markets at MLV & Co. and
a member of that firm’s executive and operating committees. He
previously held various institutional trading roles at PaineWebber
and its successor, UBS, where he served as head of cash equities
trading. Mr. Billhardt holds an MBA from the Amos Tuck School at
Dartmouth College and a BA from Denison University.
