As investors and investment advisors, we are oriented toward value opportunities. Securities that are undervalued by the market should be evaluated for purchase, while those that are overvalued by the market should be considered for sale. We also believe that our clients’ portfolios should improve in terms of value and risk in all environments.

Our services are team oriented. This approach allows Hancock Securities to gain a strong understanding of the client's financial goals, to bring several perspectives to the development of each client’s portfolio and to ensure a continually high level of service. In addition, our combination of brokerage and investment advisory services is designed to overcome any bias toward a volume of transactions. Our efforts are designed to establish a close working relationship with each client to devise an investment strategy and build the portfolio. We buy securities for our clients; we do not sell securities to them.

As merchant bankers, we are willing to commit our own capital to opportunities we believe in and do not pursue situations that provide fee only relationships as a reward for generating capital. We understand the entrepreneurial mind set of growth companies and can identify with the many challenges facing them. We face the same challenges ourselves. This perspective enables us to better understand our individual and corporate clients. Our principals are experienced in managing high growth situations as well as turnaround situations and the opportunities and risks they present.

As financial advisors to companies and their shareholders, we believe that maximizing shareholder value will produce the best results for companies and their constituencies. Companies should focus on performance for shareholders as their primary mission. Our shareholder value driven approach enables us to have a relationship with a company’s management and shareholders throughout and beyond a company’s life cycle.

Geithner praises B of A overdraft fee cut WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner on Wednesday praised Bank of America's decision to eliminate overdraft fees. "After years when we saw financial companies competing to exploit vulnerable borrowers, it is good to see banks competing to benefit their consumers. I urge other large banks that have not acted to follow the lead of their competitors," Geithner said in testimony to a House Appropriations subcommittee. Bank of America said earlier Wednesday that starting this summer it will make sure that customers have the cash in their account before a debt card purchase is approved.
