About Us

Background

Ingalls & Snyder was founded in 1924 as a broker-dealer and member of the New York Stock Exchange. The firm joined the NASD upon its founding in 1939 and registered as an Investment Adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 in 1968. We continue to be members of the New York Stock Exchange, as well as others, and maintain our broker-dealer facilities to this date.

Ingalls & Snyder provides investment services to both U.S. and International clientele, including individuals, retirement accounts, corporations, trusts, estates and charitable organizations. The firm seeks to achieve above-average investment results consistent with each client’s objectives. Rather than offering a firm-wide investment management approach to all clients, managers with individual investment styles provide their services for suitable clients. This somewhat unique approach is consistent with our long-standing commitment towards providing high quality and client-sensitive services to a select clientele.

Ingalls & Snyder manages and advises investment portfolios with a total market value in excess of $3 billion. Our Directors and Associates also serve as investment advisers to a number of pension plans, philanthropic and educational endowments, and as directors of privately- held companies.

Ingalls & Snyder is wholly owned and capitalized by its Directors.

Account Management

Ingalls & Snyder defines portfolio management as more than just investment advice and endeavors to facilitate the often disparate needs of our clients through a high degree of professional advice and customer service.

We generally recommend a long-term, total return strategy in investment management. The firm rarely participates in initial public offerings, as we believe that clients are better served by investments in securities with an established trading history.

Investment ideas are shared among account managers through informal as well as formal channels. In addition to the in-house research conducted by our individual managers and staff, the firm has access to several outside providers.

Our proximity to Wall Street also allows us to schedule regular company presentations, facilitating our focus on business as well as financial analysis.

Clients receive monthly statements of account activity and asset valuation, available in both printed and electronic form, as well as comprehensive year-end information regarding pertinent tax data. Such data can be automatically delivered to accountant upon request.
