Our city
We work from a Fifth Avenue landmark, a few blocks from Bryant Park and a short ride from the floor of the Exchange. A sense of place, and of permanence.

A classical limestone landmark at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street, an address tied to American finance for more than a century. The setting suits the work: measured, deliberate, and built to last.

Nothing on this site constitutes an offer of advisory services. No advisory relationship is created until USWMA and the prospective client execute a written advisory agreement.
