Combining Siebert’s and Weeden Prime’s complementary business lines creates a powerful and dynamic company able to meet the needs of a rapidly changing market.“

Andrew Formato, the President of Weeden Prime, says: “The entire team at Weeden Prime is excited to combine with the Siebert family and build on the strength of both of our respective firms. With Siebert’s strong positioning in the marketplace and our shared vision, we look forward to growing our business for the future.”

Andrew Reich, CFO of Siebert, says: “We are very excited about the financial benefit this transaction will deliver to Siebert. Currently, Weeden Prime generates approximately USD12-14 million in annual revenue and it has achieved significant organic growth over the past few years. By integrating Weeden Prime into the Siebert infrastructure, we will be well positioned to continue that growth as well as achieve significant economies of scale. We are excited for the future of Siebert and capitalising on the opportunities ahead.”
