HILLTOP SECURITIES INC.
DALLAS, TX

HilltopSecurities Inc., based in Dallas, Texas, is a distinguished financial services firm known for its comprehensive solutions tailored to municipal issuers, institutions, broker-dealers, and individuals. As Florida corporation status F95000001585, the company, incorporated on April 3, 1995, has made significant contributions to advancing both individual and community financial success through innovative advisory and brokerage services. HilltopSecurities prides itself on a firm culture that blends depth of experience in municipal finance with honest counsel, ensuring clients achieve their personalized definition of prosperity through reliable solutions and informed decision-making. Rooted deeply within the communities they serve, HilltopSecurities emerged from the synergy of two established broker-dealers. Originally founded as FirstSouthwest in Texas by WWII veterans in 1946, FirstSouthwest laid the foundation for modern public finance advisory with notable innovations such as developing tax-exempt financial tools and executing the nation's largest tax-exempt deal in history to construct an oil storage facility in Valdez, Alaska. Its evolution continued through various acquisitions, broadening its influence across New England, California, and more. Simultaneously, Southwest Securities emerged in Dallas in 1972 as MidSouthwest Securities, growing into a prominent broker-dealer on the New York Stock Exchange and innovating by entering fully disclosed securities clearing. Over time, this firm expanded through strategic acquisitions to include public finance and municipal underwriting services, further bolstering its presence on Wall Street. The merger of these firms in 2015 under Hilltop Holdings Inc.'s ownership formed a new, formidable entity with a publicly traded parent company. This strengthened brand continues the legacy of innovation, integrity, and service from both heritage lines, providing clients across the U.S. with an extensive suite of public finance, capital markets, corporate finance services, and broker-dealer operations. HilltopSecurities’ mission embodies fostering noble relationships that enrich financial futures, leveraging over 112 collective years of industry leadership to maintain integrity and collaborative excellence. As such, HilltopSecurities is positioned as a trusted advocate within the financial services sector. Contact information includes: Office at 717 N.
