Sanders Morris Harris Partners is an arm of Sanders Morris Harris Inc. We're a broker/dealer organization that was formed in recognition of the changes that have occurred in the independent broker/dealer community of today. Many of these changes, sadly, are not for the better. With the increasing consolidation and rigid standardization that's developed over the past few years, it's become much more challenging to find both the understanding and support that the successful entrepreneurial financial professional needs.  

Not any more. Sanders Morris Harris Partners is an organization that has a unique focus and attitude. It treats you like a grown-up.

First and foremost, we actively share the risks and rewards of our clients by investing side by side with them, aligning the interests of the firm with the interests of its customers.

We call our approach “Investing in Common.” And, for private and institutional clients alike, it has yielded uncommonly good results.

  

As part of this success, we have built SMHP to address the needs of the top 5 or 10% of the independent financial professionals today. We're not trying to be all things to all people, or to employ a raft of financial planners. What we are looking for are the leaders in the business - professionals that are successful men and women of integrity that want to help their clients make money. And who want an environment and organization that is as focused on high performance results as much as they are. Obviously we offer all of the traditional stock, bond and mutual fund opportunities. But we've gone further than that by offering creative and comprehensive support, services and products in:

  • Private client services to help you, the financial professional differentiate yourself in the marketplace of today,
  • Operational and Administrative Support that rivals any of the largest investment banks with an attitude that respects proven professionals, rather than treating them like the average.
  • Institutional Opportunities that includes timely information from our research team, investment banking group and our institutional sale and trading team.

By focusing also on the needs of high-net-worth individuals, and providing you with an uncommon level of access to senior investment personnel at SMH, and to deals involving dynamic, promising companies and financial opportunities — we believe we can help you continue your growth and dominance in your marketplace.

Today, with more than $3 billion in managed money, we’ve become the largest Texas-based investment bank — but our geographic coverage, and our vision, hardly stop at the borders of the Lone Star State. In keeping with the increasingly interconnected nature of the global economy, we’ve broadened well outside the sphere of Texas and the Southwest, with offices in New York; Denver; Jackson, Mississippi and New Jersey. And this is just the beginning as a number of top-producing, successful financial representatives discover the SMHP difference and opt to leave the past and join us in the future. It all adds up to a comprehensive investment vision — and the underlying capital strength to get the job done. For SMHP and those that chose to affiliate with it, Investing in Common can truly mean a wealth of difference.
