Convertible Securities

Our traditional leadership and strength has been in convertible securities.  Since inception, McMahan Securities has consistently been ranked as a “Top Ten Convertible Securities Dealer” according to trading volume.  We have won the prestigious “Institutional Investor’s Best Of The Boutiques Award In Convertible Research”.  As specialists in convertibles, it is incumbent that we bring forth our expertise in hedging strategies and our capabilities across the entire capital structure.  Over two decades, our convertibles sales force and traders have built a solid track record and are recognized by institutional investors as convertible securities market leaders.

High Yield and Distressed Securities

McMahan Securities approaches the below investment grade fixed income space less as a credit market, and more as a market of credits – with each situation being treated uniquely.  Our attention to detail helps clients uncover trading opportunities that offer optimal risk versus return. As the Financial Crisis unfolded in 2008, McMahan Securities saw high yield and distressed securities as opportunities offering superior investment return potential.  At the same time, the demise of the traditional investment bank model opened up the competitive landscape.  To better serve our clients today, we expanded our platform aggressively by building a seasoned team of high yield and distressed professionals.   

Corporate Restructuring

McMahan Securities has become a trusted broker/dealer for corporations seeking to restructure their balance sheets. We help corporations through the process of repurchasing debt issues from the marketplace.  Through our extensive network of institutional investors, we are able to find the issue, achieve best execution, and complete the process anonymously.  When necessary, we commit capital to ensure market stability and trade execution.
