Prime
Services
Wedbush has effectively created a full service offering for small to mid-sized money managers. It is our thesis that emerging managers largely receive subpar service from either the bulge bracket firms, or mini primes that effectively wholesale a bulge bracket product line.
Interacting directly with credit officers, traders, stock loan personnel, and other dedicated support areas, has allowed our clients and their investors to thrive in fast moving markets.
We offer tailored services to meet the needs of our wide customer-base.

Multiform Margin Financing Solutions
We offer a range of financing options for clients and feel that the leverage extended to a manager should be more reflective of a strategy-inherent risk than a loosely defined multiplier.
As such, we work with clients during the on-boarding phase (and throughout their life-cycle with the firm) to find the proper model for both the clients and their investors.
