Wedbush Financial Services Acquires Minority Interest in Trigon, Establishing a Strategic Partnership to Expand Global Reach and Enhance Client Solutions
Wedbush Financial Services (WFS), a diversified financial services holding company and parent of Wedbush Securities (WS), and Trigon, a leading Central and Eastern European (CEE) investment banking firm, today announced a strategic partnership in which WFS has acquired a significant minority equity stake in Trigon. Trigon will continue to operate independently under its current leadership, preserving its entrepreneurial culture, brand, and decision-making structure.
Through the partnership with WS, Trigon clients will benefit from broader access to global investors, increased ability to lead cross-border equity capital market transactions—including IPOs—and participation in Wedbush-hosted investor conferences and research-driven events. Joint teams from both firms will collaborate on select investment banking mandates, delivering seamless advisory and execution across jurisdictions.
In tandem, WS establishes a strategic foothold in the fast-growing CEE region, furthering its global strategy, which includes partnerships with leading Asian firms—Maybank Investment Bank, Hana Securities, Yuanta Securities, SK Securities, and Okasan Securities Group—as well as its investment in Velocity Trade. With its growing network of alliances, WS is positioned to support clients across a broader global footprint, navigating complex, multi-market opportunities with integrated, cross-border solutions.
“We are pleased to welcome Wedbush as a significant minority strategic investor,” said Andrzej Sykulski, Co-founder and Managing Partner at Trigon. “This partnership marks a key milestone in Trigon’s repositioning as a truly global investment banking platform. With expanded access to global markets—particularly the U.S., Canada and Asia—and strengthened cross-border execution capabilities, our clients will benefit from broader investor reach and deeper research coverage. We view Wedbush as a culturally aligned partner that shares our client-first mindset and long-term vision.”
“We are honored and proud to become a strategic investor in Trigon,” said Gary Wedbush, President & CEO of WFS. “Their leadership position across the CEE, investment banking prowess, and authentic client service culture make them an ideal partner for our global growth strategy. Together, we will offer clients worldwide capabilities with deep local expertise and relentless service.”
This partnership accelerates Trigon’s growth from a leading local firm into a regional investment bank with global reach, empowering clients of both firms with broader market access and a more comprehensive suite of services. By combining Trigon’s regional expertise with Wedbush’s global platform, the collaboration enhances their collective ability to deliver sophisticated, cross-border financial solutions.
