Another boutique set for offering

Cowen Group is being out of its parent Societe Generale in an IPO that might fetch $300 million or so. It is yet another boutique that has public-company aspirations. The bank provides a range of services, especially in the technology industry. Other financial firms are still planning offerings. Evercore Partners and Ryan Beck aim to go public this year. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods will likely join them.
