      stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of KBW, Inc. (the "
      Registrant") for offer or sale under the KBW, Inc. 2009 Incentive
      Compensation Plan (the "2009 Plan"), including (i) 641,638 shares of
      Common Stock (the "Carryover Shares"), which were previously registered
      under Registration Statement No. 333-142327, as filed with the Securities
      and Exchange Commission (the " Commission") on April 24, 2007 (the " Prior
      Registration Statement"), for offer or sale under the KBW, Inc. 2006
      Equity Incentive Plan (the "Prior Plan") and which may now be issued under
      the 2009 Plan and (ii) 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock not previously
      registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
      Act").  In addition, this Registration Statement also includes
      an indeterminate number of shares of Common Stock, not to exceed 4,706,401
      shares, which remain subject to outstanding awards under the KBW, Inc.
      2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Prior Plan") as of  April 13,
      2009 and may be delivered pursuant to awards under the 2009 Plan, to the
      extent that on or after such date any such awards under the Prior Plan are
      forfeited or settled or terminate without a distribution of shares or
      shares of Common Stock are used to pay required tax withholding for any
      such award under the Prior Plan.

Estimated
      solely for the purpose of calculating  the registration fee in
      accordance with Rule 457(c) and 457 (h) under the Securities Act based
      upon the average of the high and low prices of the Common Stock as
      reported on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. on June 10,
      2009.  Calculated pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Securities
      Act, as follows: $55.80 per $1,000,000 of proposed maximum aggregate
      offering price.
(3)
The
      filing fee in connection with the Carryover Shares registered under the
      Prior Registration Statement was previously paid by the
      Registrant.  A post-effective amendment to the Prior
      Registration Statement to deregister those shares is being filed
      contemporaneously with the filing of this Registration
      Statement.  The registration fee with respect to these shares
      was paid upon filing of each of the Prior Registration Statement on Form
      S-8.  Therefore, no further filing fee with respect to the
      Carryover Shares is required in accordance with the Interpretation 89
      under Section G of the Securities and Exchange Commission Division of
      Corporate Finance Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations
      (July 1997) and Instruction E to the General Instructions to Form
      S-8.
EXPLANATORY
NOTE
KBW, Inc.
(the "Registrant") has filed this Registration Statement to register under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), the offer and sale of
(i) 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common
Stock"), of the Registrant, not previously registered, pursuant to the KBW, Inc.
2009 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "2009 Plan"), and (ii) 641,638 shares of
Common Stock of the Registrant, which were previously registered (as further
described below), pursuant to the KBW, Inc. 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the
"Prior Plan") Registration Statement No. 333-142327, as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on April 24, 2007, (the
"Prior Registration Statement").
On April
21, 2009, the Board of Directors adopted, subject to stockholder approval, the
2009 Plan. Effective June 9, 2009, the 2009 Plan was approved by the
stockholders at the Registrant's annual meeting of stockholders. The Registrant
desires to have an aggregate of 6,641,638 shares of Common Stock registered
hereunder and issuable pursuant to the 2009 Plan, including 641,638 shares of
Common Stock described above which were previously registered under the Prior
Registration Statement for offer or sale under the Prior Plan and which may be
offered or sold under the 2009 Plan (the "Carryover Shares"). The Carryover
Shares are no longer available for new awards under the Prior Plan.  A
post-effective amendment to the Prior Registration Statement to deregister the
Carryover Shares is being filed contemporaneously with the filing of this
Registration Statement.  Any shares of Common Stock previously
registered under the Prior Registration Statement and not utilized as Carryover
Shares will remain registered under the Prior Registration
Statement.  In addition, this Registration Statement also includes an
indeterminate number of shares of Common Stock, not to exceed 4,706,401 shares,
which remain subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plan as of April 13,
2009 and may be delivered pursuant to awards under the 2009 Plan, to the extent
that on or after such date any such awards under the Prior Plan are forfeited or
settled or terminate without a distribution of shares or shares of Common Stock
are used to pay required tax withholding for any such award under the Prior
Plan.
Consequently,
in accordance with the Interpretation 89 under Section G of the Securities and
Exchange Commission Division of Corporate Finance Manual of Publicly Available
Telephone Interpretations (July 1997) and Instruction E to the General
Instructions to Form S-8: (a) the Registrant is carrying over the Carryover
Shares from the Prior Registration Statement, and registering the offer and sale
of 6,000,000 new shares of Common Stock, of which all 6,641,638 shares may be
offered and sold under the 2009 Plan pursuant to this Registration Statement;
and (b) the registration fee allocable to the Carryover Shares paid by the
Registrant in connection with the Prior Registration Statement is carried over
in this Registration Statement.

reference into the Form 8-A filed with the Commission on November 8, 2006
pursuant to the Exchange Act, and any amendment or report filed for the purpose
of further updating such description.
All
documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c),
14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act") prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all
securities offered have been sold or which deregister all securities then
remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such
documents.  Nothing in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to
incorporate information furnished but not filed on Form 8-K.
Any
statement contained herein or in a document all or a portion of which is
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to
be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the
extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed
document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
modifies or supersedes such statement.  Any such statement so modified
or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to
constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
The
Registrant will promptly provide without charge to each person to whom a
prospectus is delivered a copy of any or all information that has been
incorporated herein by reference (not including exhibits to the information that
is incorporated by reference unless such exhibits are specifically incorporated
by reference into such information) upon the written or oral request of such
person directed to the General Counsel of the Registrant at its principal
offices, 787 Seventh Avenue, 11th Floor, New York, New York, 10019, U.S.A.,
telephone number (212) 887-7777.
Item
4.  Description of Securities.
Not Applicable. The Registrant's common stock is registered under Section 12 of
the Exchange Act.
Item
5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
The
legality of the shares offered hereby has been passed upon for the Registrant by
Mitchell B. Kleinman, General Counsel of the Registrant.  As of June
11, 2009, Mr. Kleinman was the beneficial owner of 288,408 shares of Common
Stock of the Registrant.
Item
6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145
of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes and empowers a Delaware
corporation to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents against
liabilities incurred in connection with, and related expenses resulting from,
any claim, action or suit brought against any such person as a result of his or
her relationship with the corporation, provided that such persons acted in good
faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in, and not opposed
to, the best interests of the corporation in connection with the acts or events
on which such claim, action or suit is based. The finding of either civil or
criminal liability on the part of such person in connection with such acts or
events is not necessarily determinative of the question of whether such person
has met the required standard of conduct and is, accordingly, entitled to be
indemnified.
The
Registrant's amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws
provide for indemnification of its directors and officers to the fullest extent
permitted under Delaware law. In addition, change of control agreements entered
into by and between the Registrant and each of Mitchell B. Kleinman and Robert
Giambrone, executive officers of the Registrant, provide that, in the event of a
change of control event (as defined in the agreements), during the employment of
such executive and for seven years following his date of termination, the
Registrant shall provide the executive with indemnification and directors' and
officers' liability insurance coverage as in effect at any time during the
120-day period immediately preceding a change of control period (as defined in
the agreements) of the Registrant, or, if more favorable to the executive, as in
effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to other peer executives,
or directors, of the Registrant and affiliated companies. These indemnification
provisions may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of executive
officers and directors for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses
incurred, arising under the Securities Act.
Section 102(b)(7)
of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its
certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be
personally liable to the corporation or its stockholder for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability: (1) for any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the company or its stockholders;
(2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which include intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (3) under Section 174 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law (certain unlawful payments of dividend or
unlawful stock purchases or redemptions); or (4) for any transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit.  The
Registrant's amended and restated certificate of incorporation includes such a
provision.
Section 145(g)
of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation shall have
the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or
was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise against any liability asserted against the person in any such
capacity, or arising out of the person's status as such, whether or not the
corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability
under the provisions of the law. The Registrant maintains standard policies of
insurance under which coverage is provided, subject to the terms and conditions
of such policies: (1) to its directors and officers against
loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful
act; and (2) to the Registrant with respect to payments that may be made by
the Registrant to such officers and directors pursuant to the above
indemnification provisions or otherwise as a matter of law.

applicable.

8.  Exhibits.
The exhibits listed on the exhibit
index at the end of this Registration Statement are included in this
Registration Statement.
Item
9.  Undertakings.
(a)
The
      undersigned Registrant hereby
undertakes:
(1)
To
      file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
      post-effective amendment to this Registration
  Statement:
(i)
To
      include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
      Act;
(ii)
To
      reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
      date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
      amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
      fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration
      Statement.
(iii)
To
      include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
      not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material
      change to such information in the Registration
  Statement;
provided, however,
that
paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to
be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to
section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement;
(2)
That,
      for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
      each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
      registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
      offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
      bona fide offering thereof;
(3)
To
      remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
      securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
      offering;
(b)
The
      undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of
      determining liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
      Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of
      the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
      benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange
      Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall
      be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
      offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
      deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering
      thereof; and
(c)
Insofar
      as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
      permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
      pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has
      been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
      against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
      therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
      against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of
      expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of
      the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
      proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
      connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will,
      unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
      controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
      question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
      expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
      adjudication of such issue.
