Unrivalled Expertise, Premier Financial Guidance with Access to Global Pools of Institutional, Family Office, Hedge Fund and Retail Capital
About Us
Founded in 2023, ArcStone Securities and Investments Corp. is a cross border financial services firm operating in Canada and the United States. Our firm was built through strategic acquisition and alliances, beginning with the integration of FINRA Broker-Dealer, ArcStone Securities LLC, New York-based acquired in 2023.
Our History
ArcStone has established a strategic relationship with Kingswood U.S., a leading private equity and advisor-owned retail wealth platform with over $15 billion in Assets Under Management (AUM) and a network of more than 450 investment advisors. This relationship enhances our ability to bridge institutional, retail, and family office capital across North America, Canadian corporations looking to uplist to a senior USA exchange and more.
We focus on serving public and private companies with enterprise values ranging from $50 million to $1 billion. Our capital markets platform connects clients with a broad base of investors—from global institutions and family offices to accredited investors and retail wealth channels. We have a dynamic equity desk unmatched by competitors who typically focus exclusively on hedge funds.
ArcStone offers dynamic capital solutions and differentiated corporate access services. Our global roadshow platform spans New York, Toronto, Miami, London, Asia and Dubai—delivering institutional-quality investor engagement with retail-driven precision. In 2024, we acquired a strategic stake in InvestorNews, further enhancing our distribution and awareness capabilities.
With a proprietary database exceeding 10,000 subscribers, ArcStone provides targeted subscriber communication, digital campaigns, and strategic capital markets advisory to augment institutional marketing and enhance awareness. Our focus is partnering with our clients and working together in between financings and mergers and acquisitions as well to support capital markets momentum. We are building the financial services firm of the future—merging traditional investment banking with modern investor engagement and technology.
ArcStone’s leadership team brings deep management benchstrength from global banks and independent platforms. Our Co-Founder and CEO, Michael Astone, previously served as a Managing Director and Partner at Cantor Fitzgerald.
We offer expertise across equity and debt financings, go-public strategies (NASDAQ, TSX, RTOs), and are also licensed to support Reg D, Reg A+, and Reg CF transactions.
Our goal is to empower mid-market companies with best-in-class advisory, access to capital, and long-term investor alignment.
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.
