Emerson Equity

Emerson Equity LLC is a full-service brokerage firm and SEC-registered investment adviser founded in 2003. It is a FINRA and SIPC member. Clients described on the site include high-net-worth individuals, institutional investors, and sponsor companies that bring private placements to market. The firm reports about 250 investment professionals in locations across the country.

Managing-broker-dealer services cover publicly registered and private placement offerings from inception to closing: due diligence, offering materials, soliciting-dealer agreements and selling groups, subscription processing, a master blotter, payments to selling-group members, and advice on Blue Sky filings. Clearing relationships include Pershing LLC. Alternative products are disclosed as involving a high degree of risk and as not suitable for all investors.

The alternative-investment platform lists REITs, hedge funds and private equity, TICs and DSTs, oil and gas, equipment leasing, and other private placements. A separate private-company-stock effort focuses on later-stage, venture-backed, pre-IPO technology names seeking liquidity. Investors and sponsors use the same firm for brokerage access and for wholesale distribution of those private and registered offerings.
