Ashton Thomas Securities

Providing full-spectrum capability to wealth advisors and clients

A Brief History

Ashton Thomas Securities is a new name for a company with a notable legacy. Excel Securities opened its doors in 1978 and first registered with FINRA as a broker-dealer in 1985. Excel Securities became Ashton Thomas Securities after it was acquired by Ashton Thomas, an Arax Investment Partners firm, in 2023.

Founded by the Lanzisera family in upstate New York, Excel was established to facilitate securities trading and related services for a handful of registered representatives and their retail clients with a dedication to integrity and personalized service. As the company’s footprint expanded, additional services and solutions were added through the years.

Today, Ashton Thomas Securities carries on that commitment to building trust and providing quality service as a full-spectrum independent broker-dealer within the Ashton Thomas ecosystem.
