The Philadelphia Securities Association was founded to promote and provide a platform for the distribution of corporate and investment knowledge to its members, the maintenance of the highest ethical standards in the conduct of the investment business, and the encouragement of an association of good fellowship among various constituents in the Philadelphia investment and securities business. The current resident membership is limited to 400 members. Membership includes all facets of the business including registered traders, portfolio managers and investment counselors. Approximately 40% of our membership is employed by “buy side”, institutions such as banks, trust companies, insurance companies and advisory firms. The balance of our membership consists of, “sell side”, analysts, traders and brokers from the brokerage industry.
