NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Seaport Global Securities LLC (“Seaport Global”), a full-service investment bank entering its 20^th year, announces the successful launch of Seaport Research Partners (“SRP”), a rapidly expanding, innovative research platform. SRP empowers self-driven analysts by reshaping economics and delivering a fully integrated solution to support, enhance and grow their franchise, allowing them to focus exclusively on producing the customized and differentiated research that matters most to clients.

Seaport’s new platform is increasingly attracting top analysts and buy-side customers alike. Sixteen analysts have already joined the platform and bring an average of 20 years’ experience, most with prior experience at bulge bracket firms and many receiving industry recognition such as II rankings. SRP will continue to build upon this momentum by adding new analysts and verticals to its already broad coverage that includes Consumer, Energy, Financials, Fintech, Healthcare, Industrials, Materials, SPAC’s, Utilities & Power sectors.

Michael Meagher, CEO of Seaport Global, said, “Providing our clients with the best content expertise and continuing to give them an edge remains our highest priority.” He added, “Our growing platform enables analysts to leverage the firm’s synergistic capabilities.”

Meagher expanded, “This includes established global client relationships, access to over 3,000 opened institutional accounts, 150 senior salespeople & traders across the cap structure, global equity and debt capital markets, a full suite of corporate access services including multi-sector and niche conferences, fixed income & derivatives research, asset management capabilities and investment banking. Our offices throughout the US as well as London provide a superior and deep infrastructure.”

Tim Arthurs, Co-Head of SRP, said, “We are taking advantage of opportunities in the marketplace, adding stand-alone franchise value analysts and will continue to expand into additional verticals. We’re adapting to deliver what our customers value the most – high quality, alpha-generating content from trustworthy, best-in-class sources. As an early adopter seeking to capitalize on the changes in the equity research market for the long haul, our platform is driving innovation in an industry starving for change.”

Justin Cable, Co-Head of SRP, said, “We recognize the value seasoned entrepreneurial analysts provide, both to institutional clients and within the Seaport organization.” He added, “We put analysts in the driver’s seat, providing the resources, distribution, and team collaboration to enhance their production and expand their franchise.”

Seaport Global, with over 350 professionals with decades of experience, has the capability and acumen to provide clients sound solutions to help them reach their goals. During 2020, Seaport Global expanded its staff by over 15% taking advantage of market dislocation.
