The Leveraged Finance & Financial Sponsors Group is a rapidly growing and critically important strategic initiative for Guggenheim Securities. Over the past year, the Leveraged Finance & Financial Sponsors team has acted as sole or lead-left arranger / bookrunner on numerous financing transactions for our public, private, and sponsor-backed clients. In addition, the team has advised on many of the firm’s M&A and other capital raising transactions in which the firm’s private equity clients are involved.

Our Analysts play an integral role throughout the life of a transaction and have meaningful exposure to senior bankers and client representatives. Given this highly visible role and the technical nature of the group’s assignments, Analysts will have the opportunity to develop a diverse set of financial, analytical and communication skills. We pride ourselves on the dedication we give to our Analyst’s development, which in turn helps assist in supporting and cultivating our growing team of Leveraged Finance and Financial Sponsors bankers.
