Backed by Kingswood Capital Partners LLC, the Chicago-headquartered, tech-enabled investment bank leverages AI, deep institutional relationships, and a culture of innovation to provide a complete suite of capital markets and advisory services.

CHICAGO, June 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Burnham Park Capital Markets (Burnham Park) today announced its official launch, establishing a premier, vertically integrated financial ecosystem headquartered in Chicago. In affiliation with FINRA member firm Kingswood Capital Partners LLC, Burnham Park is poised to make a profound impact not only in the Midwest but also globally by completing the strategic consolidation of more than five specialized services firms into a single, cohesive platform. By unifying these organizations, Burnham Park provides clients with seamless, institutional-grade access to every major aspect of investment banking including global trading, thought provoking research, world-class corporate access, and cross-border advisory.

Inspired by the 1933 “A Century of Progress” World’s Fair held at its namesake, Burnham Park, Illinois, the firm is anchored by the exposition’s defining motto: Science Finds, Industry Applies, Man Conforms. Burnham Park honors this 100-year legacy of technological progress by integrating advanced, AI-driven data analytics and institutional-grade infrastructure with human capital to optimize execution in the markets.

“We are building a firm engineered for the future of finance, but our roots are deeply tied to the ethos of innovation that defined Chicago nearly a century ago,” said Sagar Sheth, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Burnham Park. ” Institutional and corporate clients increasingly rely on fragmented networks of boutique firms, while advances in AI and data infrastructure are reshaping how financial professionals operate and engage with clients. By bringing together more than five firms into a unified platform, we believe Burnham Park is building a modern, relationship-driven investment bank designed for the next generation of financial services. With the strategic backing of Kingswood Capital, we have the resources and momentum to scale this vision rapidly.”

A Comprehensive, Industry-Agnostic Financial Ecosystem

Unlike traditional financial models that restrict themselves to specific sectors or focus solely on individual transaction points, Burnham Park is fully industry-agnostic. The firm’s integrated capabilities allow it to support clients through their entire growth trajectory. By bringing together sales, trading, comprehensive multi-sector research, investment banking, and corporate access, Burnham Park supports enterprises from early-stage private capital raises to initial public offerings (IPOs), Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs), and secondary public market liquidity execution.

Aiming to Be Wall Street’s Premier Place to Work

At the core of Burnham Park’s launch is a deliberate, intense focus on internal culture. The firm has designed a modern blueprint for human capital, striving to be recognized as one of the financial industry’s best places to work. Operating with an employee-first philosophy, Burnham Park is committed to investing in talent development, promoting from within, and establishing an environment where professionals can build a meaningful, multi-decade career.

“Burnham Park is empowering its team with advanced AI tools to maximize productivity and eliminate administrative friction, but we know that this industry is fundamentally driven by trusted human relationships,” noted Michael Nessim, Chief Executive Officer of Kingswood US. “Sagar is cultivating a true culture of excitement, standardizing a high-energy trading and sales atmosphere across all offices, and ensuring the firm operates as a meritocracy where the best ideas and innovations win, regardless of position or tenure.”

With its robust capital backing and an active platform acquisition strategy, Burnham Park is positioned for rapid global scaling. Over the coming years, the firm intends to expand its physical and operational footprint across key financial hubs in Europe and Asia, while continuing to acquire highly complementary firms. To support this expanding global footprint, the firm is aggressively recruiting top-tier talent across investment banking, sales and trading, institutional research, and corporate access.
