Descriptiontext

SMG Securities, Inc. is a privately held, FINRA- and SIPC-registered investment banking advisory firm headquartered in New York City, formed in 2025 when the investment banking business of Scott-Macon (founded 1973) was spun off to its senior management after 52 years of operation. The firm provides a unified set of advisory services — Mergers & Acquisitions advisory, Debt & Equity Financing, Valuation & Fairness Opinions, and general Advisory Services — delivered through five industry-specialization groups: Business Services, Consumer Products & Retail, Healthcare/Medical/Pharmaceutical, Industrials, and Transportation & Logistics. Named enterprise clients include American Axle, Dana Corporation, Johnson Controls, DuPont, LyondellBasell, Sequa Corporation, Novartis Pharmaceutical, and NFI Industries, with the Healthcare Group alone having completed 170+ transactions exceeding $5 billion in aggregate value.

The firm's operating model is a relationship-driven, senior-led advisory practice. SMG Securities monetizes through professional services fees — retainer fees, transaction fees, and success fees on M&A and capital markets assignments — with no publicly disclosed pricing. There is no proprietary technology platform, no software product, and no AI/ML capability; the firm's product is human advisory delivered through a senior team whose key group heads (e.g., Fabian Hassel, Industrials; Nathan D. Cortright, Healthcare; L. Price Blackford, Transportation & Logistics) each carry 25-35+ years of investment banking experience. The firm claims a worldwide network of 100+ investment banking professionals, though reported core headcount is approximately 30.

The firm targets two primary client segments: middle-market companies (both domestic and international, publicly traded and privately held) seeking M&A, capital raising, and valuation services, and private equity firms seeking portfolio company transaction advisory. Distribution is direct and senior-led, supplemented by thought-leadership content published through Healthcare Review and Business Services Review periodicals. Ownership is private with senior management as the controlling stakeholders; no institutional investor backing is disclosed.
