Our History
We get deals done.
The ArcStone North & South Unique Platform for Growth Industries
ArcStone Securities and Investments Corp. is a boutique financial services firm focused on diversified and high-growth industries with a unique North-South platform. This platform provides mid-cap growth clients unprecedented access to both Canadian and American capital markets, bridging a critical gap in the market. Many Canadian boutique investment banks are restricted to Canadian markets only, lacking licenses or the necessary reach to American investors. Conversely, many larger financial institutions are strictly focused on large-cap clients, and smaller growth-oriented companies do not receive the premium services of their platforms.
At ArcStone, our initiative aims to fill this void, providing our clients with a seamless gateway to the much larger and more diverse US market.
The US GDP is almost twelve times larger than Canada’s, indicating a much bigger and more dynamic economy.
The US capital market is much larger than Canada’s in terms of scale, risk appetite, and opportunity.
In 2022, the US had over 15,114 registered investment advisor firms, while Canada had fewer than 140 licensed asset managers and only several hundred single-family offices.
The US market has a larger number of accredited investors and around 3,000 to 6,000 family offices.
The US had approximately 24 million individuals who qualified as accredited investors in 2022, while Canada had an estimated 900,000 accredited investors.
Sectors such as AI, crypto, and electric vehicles, which are strong in the US, present attractive opportunities for cross-border investment.
By creating a full suite of Reg A+, Reg D, and Reg CF platforms that enable access to a larger untapped investor base, corporate clients can be connected to opportunities that were previously not available.
