Beech Hill Securities, Inc.

Beech Hill Securities, Inc. is a private, New York–incorporated broker-dealer founded May 12, 1989 and headquartered at 880 Third Avenue, 16th Floor, New York, NY 10022. It is registered with the SEC and FINRA and clears customer transactions through a correspondent broker on a fully disclosed basis. CEO is Vincent Iannuzzi. The company is not publicly traded and files no 10-K; SEC Rules 17a-5 annual audits report it as an S corporation with 200 shares issued. It is small: third-party data aggregators estimate roughly 18–28 employees and annual revenue in the $11M–$15.5M range, but these figures are unverified estimates and should be treated as approximate. SEC filings show total revenue of about $4.9M (2009) and $4.7M (2012).

Operations. Beech Hill is a full-service broker-dealer and investment bank serving institutional clients, family offices, and high-net-worth individuals. Its stated offerings include institutional trading in equities, fixed income, options, structured products and municipals; prime brokerage; syndicated equity, debt and preferred offerings; private placements; cross-border institutional fundraising and corporate access; corporate finance and M&A advisory; Rule 15a-6 international broker-dealer arrangements; and an independent RIA platform. Historical SEC filings describe it as specializing in tax-free municipal bonds and trading margin securities for its own account.

Litigation posture. Beech Hill is an operating company, not a patent assertor: 0 cases as plaintiff and 1 as defendant across tracked records. The single matter is Cedar Lane Technologies Inc. v. Beech Hill Securities, Inc., filed 2025-09-22 in the Southern District of New York. Cedar Lane is a Canadian-domiciled non-practicing entity (Nelson, BC; founded 2019) that asserts acquired patents — including portfolios formerly held by Intellectual Ventures — and has filed hundreds of suits; Unified Patents and Stanford's NPE Litigation Database classify it as a patent assertion entity. Venue is SDNY rather than the Eastern District of Texas, consistent with a 2025 assertion wave targeting broker-dealers and financial-services firms. Our records do not identify the specific patent asserted against Beech Hill; contemporaneous SDNY securities-industry suits by Cedar Lane, represented by Rabicoff Law, asserted U.S. Patent 8,577,782 on conditional-offer trading for semi-anonymous participants.
