Toronto, Ontario and New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - March 31, 2026) - ArcStone Securities and Investments Corp. ("ArcStone" or the "Firm"), a financial services holding company and parent of a group of companies operating in capital markets across North America, today announced the appointment of Thomas Saunders as Vice President, Institutional Equity Sales at ArcStone Securities LLC, its FINRA broker dealer and member of SIPC. The appointment advances the Firm's strategic build-out of institutional equities distribution across its platform.
Mr. Saunders joins ArcStone from iCapital Markets, where he served on the desk, developing specialized expertise in distribution, client coverage, and secondary market execution across capital markets. In his new role, Mr. Saunders will support the expansion of ArcStone's institutional equity sales desk, with a focus on high quality small and mid-cap issuers across the metals and mining, technology, biotechnology and diversified sectors, supporting the Firm's FINRA-registered broker-dealer and its growing corporate issuer base.
"The equity opportunity at ArcStone is one of the most differentiated I've seen in the market. The Firm is building a platform where institutional distribution, investment banking, and investor relations operate under a group of companies and that's where I want to be. I look forward to deepening our institutional relationships on both sides of the border."
- Thomas Saunders, Vice President, Institutional Equity Sales, ArcStone Securities, LLC

He understands the sectors we serve, is aggressive and is eager to put quality corporate issuers in front of our buy-side relationships. His addition is a meaningful step in our commitment to building a best-in-class platform for sophisticated issuers and institutional clients."

The Firm's growth strategy is anchored in serving issuers and institutional clients at the highest level as their trusted advisor and partner.

The first two years was securing our U.S. broker-dealer, building our conference platform and establishing the ArcStone franchise, the next chapter is much different," said Mr. Astone.
