Dan Ives Launches Yorkville Ives Merchant Bank After Wedbush Exit
Star tech analyst Dan Ives is going independent, launching Yorkville Ives & Co. after departing Wedbush Securities.
Dan Ives just made his biggest trade yet — on himself. The star analyst, best known for his high-conviction calls on Tesla and Big Tech, has left Wedbush Securities to launch his own merchant bank, Yorkville Ives & Co.
The new shop isn't a simple research boutique. Yorkville Ives & Co. is built to do it all: investment banking, equity research, institutional trading, and principal investing under one roof. That's a serious swing for a guy whose name alone moves stock prices on CNBC hits.

For retail traders, this matters. Ives has one of the loudest megaphones in tech investing.

Watch for early deal flow and research coverage to signal which sectors he's targeting first.
The merchant bank model is old-school Wall Street meets modern fintech hustle — firms that put their own capital to work alongside client money. That principal investing arm is the detail worth tracking. It means Ives won't just be talking the trade; he'll be in it.
