Alliance Global Partners

What Alliance Global Partners does

Alliance Global Partners (A.G.P.) is a private, FINRA/SIPC-registered broker-dealer and SEC-registered investment adviser founded in 1997 and headquartered at 590 Madison Avenue, New York. The firm operates across two primary lines of business: a wealth management division serving individual and institutional clients with investment advisory, retail brokerage, fixed income, and insurance products (including the A.G.P. Prime prime brokerage sub-brand), and an investment banking / capital markets division providing equity capital markets (IPOs, follow-ons, registered directs, PIPEs, ATMs, SPACs), debt capital markets (private placements, convertibles, senior debt, mezzanine), and M&A advisory. The firm has approximately 251-500 employees and offices in New York (HQ), Westport CT, Charlotte NC, and Rochelle Park NJ, with A.G.P. Canada Investments ULC serving Canadian clients.

A.G.P. is a specialist in small and mid-cap public companies across healthcare, technology, energy, transportation/logistics, mining/critical materials, consumer/cannabis, real estate, and biotechnology. Senior bankers have collectively executed thousands of transactions raising tens of billions of dollars, and the firm runs a multi-vertical institutional research product with sector heads in Technology, Transportation, Metals & Mining, Real Estate/Financials, Consumer/Cannabis, and Biotechnology. Its go-to-market combines institutional sales coverage in the U.S., Europe, and Asia with a national wealth advisor network and a calendar of sector-specific virtual showcases that generate deal origination.

Revenue is generated through transaction-based fees (underwriting commissions typically 3% on ATM gross proceeds, placement agent fees, underwriting discounts, advisory fees) and recurring/subscription revenue from wealth management advisory fees and brokerage commissions. The firm disclosed over $1 billion in 2025 net asset inflows to its wealth management platform, indicating strong AUM growth, though the firm does not publish its own revenue. A.G.P. acquired Euro Pacific Capital in 2018 to expand its energy, transportation, and research capabilities.
