About Us
Full Service Global Investment Banking for Micro, Small, and Mid-Cap Companies
Chardan Capital Markets, LLC is a privately held investment banking firm with a focus on micro, small, and mid-cap markets. Our full range of services includes capital raising, merger and acquisition advisory, strategic advisory, equity research, institutional trading, and market making.
We are driven by the desire to deliver excellence to our clients—and a genuine passion for what we do. We pride ourselves on our ability to provide an unmatched level of high-touch, customized service.
Chardan is known across the industry for our innovative thinking, enthusiasm, and dedication. We’ve developed a culture of integrity and transparency that, even as we grow rapidly, continues to be guided by a strong conscience and solid ethical values.
Our experienced professionals pursue a deep understanding of our clients’ needs and leverage their global relationships to provide exceptional value and insight. With an established record of success—over $5 billion raised through more than 90 transactions1—we have earned a reputation as the firm companies depend on to close particularly complex and challenging deals.
At Chardan, we’ve taken a global perspective from the outset. Headquartered in the international hub of New York, we have offices in the financial centers of Los Angeles, Beijing, and Sydney. We were one of the first U.S. firms to focus on financing companies in China with our initial SPAC transaction in 2003. With our record in China of over $1 billion raised and more than 30 transactions completed2, today we have the established infrastructure, relationships, and expertise to navigate this complex market.
In 2010, we launched operations in Sydney, and began delivering investment banking and financing solutions to Australia and New Zealand-based companies. As we continue to expand, our aim is to connect emerging growth companies with offshore capital—bringing investors unique opportunities to increase their international exposure.
Our clients know that every investment opportunity we recommend is backed by years of market experience, that the research we deliver is detailed, objective, and tailored to their needs, and that every trade they place through us will be executed with precision and discretion.
Clients look to Chardan for honest advice and high quality, creative investment ideas—they continue to work with us because we consistently deliver on that promise.
