Cohen & Company Securities changed its name from J.V.B. Financial Group to Cohen & Company Securities. The broker-dealer’s name change supports efforts to create a consistent brand that is more closely aligned with its parent company, Cohen & Company, and Cohen’s other subsidiaries.
“As Cohen & Company Securities continues to expand its overall capabilities, we have taken steps to ensure the right team and infrastructure is in place to support these efforts,” Lester Brafman, CEO of Cohen & Company, said. “Over the last year and a half, Cohen & Company Securities has undergone a significant transformation, implementing enhanced offerings to middle market clients and adding 18 professionals across sales, trading and technology to strengthen the firm’s ability to deliver market insight, execution and scalable solutions to its clients. Our recently launched SPAC-focused equity trading desk adds another client service offering to Cohen & Company Securities’ established gestation repo financing program and fixed income trading activities. In addition, Cohen & Company Securities’ full-service boutique investment bank, Cohen & Company Capital Markets (CCM), has become a leading advisor for de-SPAC transactions and SPACs going public. The Cohen & Company Securities team remains laser focused on identifying opportunities to serve our clients in new and innovative ways and expects this momentum to accelerate the next phase of growth for the business.”
