Henley & Company Wealth Management
Henley & Company Wealth Management traces back to 1986, when Francis P. Gemino established the predecessor firm Henley & Company Inc. The firm now operates as a FINRA-, MSRB- and SIPC-registered broker-dealer based in Uniondale, New York, serving individual clients through a network of investment professionals. The firm’s service model is built on full-service brokerage, institutional services, retail services, and a stated investment banking capability — though publicly verifiable details on specific asset-class weightings, fund structures, or investment-stage preferences are absent. Instead, the firm emphasizes its custody arrangement with Pershing LLC, a BNY Mellon subsidiary with over 80 years of clearing experience, to safeguard client assets. No named portfolio companies, co-investors, or geographic investment mandates beyond the United States are publicly disclosed. Operational scale — such as total AUM, client accounts, or the number of advisors — is not published, and the firm maintains no known adjacent vehicles like affiliated foundations or real-estate arms. Public records from the broker-check system and the firm's website provide no dated operational event from the last 24 months that would indicate a change in strategy, leadership, or structure. Henley’s architecture differs from many advisory practices by forgoing a prominent LinkedIn presence or digital marketing footprint, relying instead on its Pershing custody tie and long-running registration with multiple securities authorities as the basis of its credibility. No succession or governance disclosures have been made public.

Frequently asked questions
How is Henley & Company structured, and who oversees investment decisions?
Henley & Company LLC operates as a broker-dealer in Uniondale, New York, founded by Francis P. Gemino in 1986 through a predecessor entity. The firm does not publicly disclose an investment committee or named principals beyond Gemino. As a FINRA- and MSRB-registered firm, it channels client transactions through its custody relationship with Pershing LLC, a BNY Mellon company, which provides clearing and asset protection.
What regulatory oversight applies to the firm?
Henley & Company LLC is registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB), and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). These registrations subject the firm to broker-dealer conduct rules and provide SIPC protection for client securities. The firm's website highlights this regulatory framework alongside its Pershing custody arrangement.
Does Henley & Company participate in fund commitments or only direct brokerage?
The firm's public materials reference 'full-service' brokerage, retail services, institutional services, and investment banking, but do not specify whether those institutional services include fund commitments, direct investments, or both. No named fund relationships, direct deal participation, or co-investment structures are publicly disclosed.
What is the firm's known posture on geographic or sector specialization?
Henley & Company does not publicly state any geographic investment mandate beyond its US base. Sector specialization — such as technology, healthcare, or real estate focus — is not disclosed on its website or in public regulatory filings. The firm's marketing emphasizes individualized advice rather than a concentrated thematic or sectoral mandate.
How does Henley & Company safeguard client assets?
Client assets are held and protected by Pershing LLC, a BNY Mellon company with over eight decades of clearing and custody experience. Henley & Company explicitly names this custodial arrangement as the primary asset-protection mechanism, and its SIPC membership provides additional protection for securities and cash in client brokerage accounts.
