Monness, Crespi, Hardt & Co., Inc. is an institutional equity research and trading firm
that was established in 1964.
The firm’s research department seeks to cover a limited number of public
companies in great depth and also works to identify undervalued or under-covered
special situations regardless of size.
Characteristics among the covered include strong management, operations growing
at a sustainable pace, and future earnings and cash flow that have a high degree of
predictability. There tends to be slight bias toward value among the recommended
stocks, but that is more a function of opportunism than of design.
MCH’s trading operations are geared to execute any and all orders up to and
including large, difficult trades. The hallmark is service. No matter the size of the
order there is always a continuous, hands-on update and communication with the
client depending upon his or her wants and needs.
The firm’s motto is that it does not compete with its clients. MCH acts as agent on
every trade; there is no proprietary trading; there is no market making; there is no
investment banking, and there is no money management market.
The firm clears through Goldman Sachs and Company, on a fully disclosed
basis.
