Our Firm

History…Tradition…Values

From modest beginnings in 1972, Southwest Securities has grown to be the largest full service NYSE-member firm based in Texas. Long acknowledged as one of the nation’s leaders in securities clearance, Southwest Securities is also a premier, regional securities firm.

REALIZING YOUR DREAMS

Co-founded by SWS Group Chairman of the Board, Don A. Buchholz, and the late Allen Cobb, Southwest Securities has been built on integrity, teamwork, personal responsibility and, above all, the belief that customer service should always be the top priority. These values have driven the firm’s leadership in the investment community and as an employer.

Today, Southwest Securities processes millions of securities transactions each year. The parent company, SWS Group (NYSE-SWS), provides a wide array of financial and banking services through Southwest Securities, SWS Financial Services, Southwest Securities Bank and other subsidiaries. Clients include individual and institutional investors, financial intermediaries, businesses and local governments.

REALIZING YOUR NEEDS

The difficulty is finding the right professional – one that will put your needs first rather than those of some investment industry “super store.” For many investors, the answer lies in choosing a financial professional who is backed by a high quality firm. That is precisely what you get with SWS Financial Services Representatives!

SECURING YOUR FUTURE

SWS Financial Services is a company founded on relationships, and the cornerstone of our continued success is the relationship we share with our customers.

SWS Financial Services has established itself as a unique place to help you secure your future. SWS Financial Services is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA (formerly known as Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., NASD) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC).

The firm is an independent broker/dealer that supports independent registered representatives in their quest to provide the highest quality of financial services to their clients. Through Southwest Securities and its affiliates, independents with SWS Financial Services can provide a wide array of investment products and services.
