HilltopSecurities has deep roots in Southern California

FALLBROOK – Financial services provider HilltopSecurities (HTS) is a new firm with a long history and a revitalized wealth management business line. The full-service financial services firm and registered investment adviser was created through the 2016 merger of FirstSouthwest and Southwest Securities, two of the nation’s largest, most well-established regional broker-dealers headquartered in the southwest.

HilltopSecurities’ legacy companies have more than 100 years of combined history in the industry. In 2008 the firm substantially expanded its footprint on the West Coast through Southwest Securities’ acquisition of ML Stern & Co., a respected California firm founded in 1966 and well-known for its expertise in the fixed income bond market.

In addition to 10 locations throughout California, HilltopSecurities has more than 30 other offices across the country serving individual and institutional investors, municipal issuers, broker-dealers and Registered Investment Advisers from coast to coast.

Feinberg, Chairman and CEO of HilltopSecurities. “We’ve combined two successful, established companies to launch a bold, adaptable new firm that has built long-term client relationships based on forthright advice and tailored solutions.”
