The founding and growth of Wedbush Securities is a true American success story.

In 1955, two young entrepreneurs, Edward Wedbush and Robert Werner, founded Wedbush & Company. Fresh out of college, they each pooled $5,000 to capitalize their new company—a wise investment in a bright future that is still unfolding.

Today, Wedbush Securities is one of the largest securities firms and investment banks, which is headquartered on the West Coast, with almost 1,000 colleagues in nearly 100 offices. Through advanced technology, a focus on client financial safety, and unwavering dedication to world class service, Wedbush continues to thrive as a leader in the securities business.
