Morgan Keegan

Morgan Keegan & Company was a prominent American investment bank and wealth management firm headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee. Founded in 1969, the firm established a significant presence in the healthcare and life sciences sectors through its specialized investment banking and equity research teams. The company provided capital raising, M&A advisory, and strategic consulting services to a wide array of biotechnology, medical technology, and healthcare service providers. In 2012, Morgan Keegan was acquired by Raymond James Financial for approximately $1.2 billion, a move that significantly expanded Raymond James' footprint in the fixed income and public finance markets. Following the acquisition, Morgan Keegan's operations were integrated into the Raymond James brand, concluding its tenure as an independent entity.
