First Montauk Securities

First Montauk Securities was a full-service broker-dealer and investment banking firm headquartered in Red Bank, New Jersey. The company provided a range of financial services, including retail brokerage, asset management, and investment banking, with a particular focus on small-cap and mid-cap companies. While not a life sciences company itself, First Montauk frequently acted as an underwriter or placement agent for micro-cap biotechnology and healthcare firms seeking capital. The firm's parent company, First Montauk Financial Corp., was acquired by National Holdings Corporation in 2008, leading to the integration of its operations into National Securities Corporation.
