Alliance Global Partners

Alliance Global Partners

Alliance Global Partners traces its roots to the boutique brokerage and advisory space, structuring itself as a full-service investment bank serving growth-stage and middle-market companies. The firm operates through Alliance Global Partners, a FINRA-registered broker-dealer, and A.G.P. / Alliance Global Partners, its registered investment advisor arm. Westport houses the firm's investment banking, sales and trading, and equity research operations under one roof — a structure designed to provide corporate clients with integrated capital-raising and aftermarket support. The firm's investment banking practice focuses on public offerings, private placements, and M&A advisory across sectors where it has built specialized research coverage. Equity research analysts cover technology, healthcare, consumer, and industrial companies, providing market intelligence that feeds the firm's deal origination. On the trading side, Alliance Global Partners makes markets in over 500 publicly traded securities, primarily in the small- to mid-cap universe, offering institutional execution and corporate buyback services. The firm also distributes structured products and provides fixed-income trading for a client base that includes RIAs, family offices, and institutional allocators. The firm maintains additional offices in New York and Florida. Its registered investment advisor, A.G.P., provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning services separate from the broker-dealer operation. The firm participates in syndicate distributions and acts as co-manager on equity underwriting alongside regional investment banks. Its distribution capacity is built on a network of registered representatives who place both primary offerings and secondary-traded products with individual and institutional investors across the United States. Alliance Global Partners' structural distinction lies in its paired broker-dealer and investment advisor framework under common control. Most boutique investment banks either sell advisory services or execute trades — AGP's model links equity research, deal sourcing, and distribution into one firm. This architecture creates a self-contained pipeline from research coverage to underwriting to aftermarket trading, a loop that small-cap corporate clients use to avoid the fragmented service model typical of working with separate research, banking, and trading firms.
