About
Academy Securities bills itself as “the first post-9/11 disabled veteran-owned and -operated investment bank,” with 47% of its employees having served in the military. The bank is committed to hiring even more veterans, claiming that the labor market does not understand their unique skill sets. Retired admirals and generals lead the bank’s Geopolitical Intelligence Group, which assesses global investment risks based on regional instabilities, along with foreign policy and national security issues.
As of September 2022, Academy Securities is a bronze-level sponsor of SFOF (which no longer lists its donors on its website).
