About

Our Values-based Approach to Investment Banking

Roth MKM is a privately-owned investment banking firm with a premier suite of business lines ranging from M&A, financing, restructuring, advisory, and corporate services. With our recent acquisition of MKM Partners, an institutional equity trading, sales, and research firm, we have added a full-service platform that fuses high-impact fundamental analysis with macroeconomics, technical insights, derivatives strategies, event-driven commentary, alternative research, and first-rate execution. Together, we strive to produce innovative, actionable, and proprietary content for our clients, while being part of the lifecycle of the companies we service. Our track record of success is driven by our workforce, many of whom have been with us for more than 20 years.

Headquartered in Newport Beach, CA, and with our global trading floor in Stamford, CT, we treat our employees and clients like family. Our culture is based on valuing individual talents and finding ways that we can work together as well as build on everyone’s strengths. Welcome to Roth MKM!
