Recent Business Highlights

  • Completed previously announced strategic investment in Tigress Financial Partners and launched RISE Financial Services, a woman-owned, diverse financial services firm, extending Siebert’s 50+ year history of diversity, equity, and inclusion which began with the legendary Muriel Siebert. RISE Prime, a division of RISE Financial Services, specializes in offering a comprehensive suite of prime brokerage services aligned with the growing mission-driven Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives of institutional investors.
  • Completed a minority investment in Hedge Connection, the only woman-owned FinTech company offering a capital introduction solution platform for hedge funds. Hedge Connection is democratizing the capital raising process so that all managers, including talented minority and woman emerging mangers, can gain access to institutional investors and break down barriers that impede growth.
  • Purchased office building in Miami, Florida to serve as the headquarters for Siebert. Miami is continuing to grow as a major hub for financial companies, and the building purchase strengthens Siebert’s presence in the Greater Miami area following the opening of Siebert’s Miami office in 2019.

Management Commentary

“Our financial results for 2021 reflect the continued execution of our strategic objectives, which has established a solid foundation for Siebert in 2022,” said Gloria E. Gebbia, controlling shareholder and board member of Siebert. “Siebert is a mission-driven financial services company, and we continue to modernize our offerings to empower our clients’ success while helping narrow the wealth gap through inclusive investing. The recent rebranding of RISE along with our minority investment in Hedge Connection further strengthens our commitment and positions Siebert as a strategic partner to institutional clients when diversity and access to best-in-class prime brokerage services matter.”

Andrew Reich, CFO of Siebert, commented: “Our strong revenue performance in 2021 was driven by our Securities Finance and Market Making divisions, which contributed to the 23% topline growth we delivered in 2021 along with improved profitability. Both our Securities Finance and Market Making divisions achieved year-over-year revenue growth of almost 200% and continue to be key areas to achieve future growth initiatives. Further, revenues from our Investment Advisory subsidiary NXT increased by over 46% and we continue to look for opportunities to expand offerings and services. We continue to focus on identifying opportunities to further drive revenue growth and improve profitability while continuing to support the goals of our strategic partners and clients.”
