As a chaperoning broker-dealer, GT Securities works with select investment professionals working outside the United States who are interested in connecting with U.S. investment banks, broker-dealers, and other institutional investors and acquirers.
We provide a comprehensive solution that includes everything from best-in-class regulatory compliance to access to research to industry relationships, to analyst/associate support, to research and intelligence database access, and more. Our chaperoning services are designed to help you succeed in the US market.
Securities Exchange Act Rule 15a-6 requires foreign broker-dealers who wish to transact business with U.S. institutions to be registered with the SEC and to maintain a physical presence in the United States. This can be a costly and time-consuming process. GT Securities can help you navigate the broker-dealer registration requirements and options to help you establish a regulatory-compliant U.S. presence.
If you are a non-US broker-dealer and/or independent investment banker interested in doing business in the United States, contact GT Securities today. We can help you navigate the regulatory landscape and succeed in the US market.
In addition to a full-time team dedicated to your regulatory compliance, our foreign broker-dealer and investment banking program offers benefits including the below.
GT Securities has a long history of working with foreign brokers and we have the experience and expertise to help you succeed in the US market. Contact us today to learn more about our chaperoning services.
