Our Pillars
No other Wall Street institution has a story like ours. Our company was founded upon six core pillars:
Global Capabilities with Bespoke Service
Cantor offers a full suite of global capabilities—including investment banking, capital markets, prime services, research, and asset management—backed by a team that provides tailored support to meet clients’ unique financial needs.
Exceptional Talent
We recruit and hire exceptional talent to ensure our clients receive unparalleled service with a customized approach. We’re passionate about the continued growth and development of our employees so they can take their careers to the next level.
Continuous Innovation
We’re an innovation company. Why? Because more than 75 years of experience has taught us that the next 75 years belong to those who not only invest in but invent the future. Our commitment to fueling continuous innovation – both for ourselves and our clients – keeps us at the cutting edge of finance, where we deliver smarter, more personalized financial services to our clients.
Experienced Leadership
Howard W. Lutnick, Cantor Chairman & CEO, has been at the helm for more than three decades, making him one of the most experienced leaders on Wall Street. His visionary approach, relentless drive to succeed, and commitment to supporting the community in which we work and live carries through the organization.
Resilience and Perseverance
Not only have we persevered through every market fluctuation over the past seven decades, but we’ve built a global financial services powerhouse in the wake of unprecedented hardship. In 2001, we tragically lost 658 of our 960 New York-based colleagues in the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks. Due to the unwavering dedication, determination and ingenuity of our employees, we stand stronger now more than ever before.
Private Partnership
As a private institution, we stand apart in our capacity to focus exclusively on the things that matter most to our clients. Our independence allows us to put their success first every single day, and to foster dynamic, innovative approaches across all our businesses.
