ARC Group Securities LLC today announced that it has received approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to expand its business activities to include retail trading, M&A advisory and proprietary trading.
The approval enables the firm to open individual brokerage accounts, extending its services to eligible individual investors alongside its corporate and institutional clients. Retail brokerage represents a new business line for ARC Group Securities, building on its established underwriting activities.
The expanded capabilities also include advising companies and shareholders on mergers, acquisitions and business sales, and supporting capital markets transactions where the firm is not acting as underwriter. The proprietary trading authorization permits the firm to trade for its own account using its own capital.
Ian Hanna, Chief Executive Officer of ARC Group Securities LLC., said:
“Our strategy is to build lasting client relationships across brokerage, advisory and capital markets. Opening individual brokerage accounts is an important step in that direction. Alongside our expanded advisory capabilities, it allows us to serve more of our clients’ needs beyond a single transaction.”
The expansion broadens the U.S. securities offering of ARC Group Securities LLC and supports closer coordination between the firm and its parent ARC Group’s international advisory teams on client engagements.
