Our Affiliation with Weild & Co.
How our affiliation with Weild & Co. works — and what it means for your engagement.
Three Vectors Capital is an affiliate of Weild & Co., a FINRA-registered investment bank and broker-dealer. This affiliation gives our clients access to institutional capital markets capabilities — including regulated securities transactions, placement services, and investment banking support — when their situation calls for it.
For most engagements, the affiliation operates quietly in the background. You are working directly with experienced financial partners on CFO leadership, financial strategy, or capital planning. The Weild & Co. relationship becomes relevant when a specific transaction requires it — such as a regulated capital raise or securities placement. We are always clear about when that applies and what it means for your engagement.
What the Affiliation Means in Practice
Access to regulated capital markets. Most fractional CFO firms can help a company prepare for a raise, but they cannot execute it — they lack the regulatory standing. Through our affiliation with Weild & Co., Three Vectors can take a company from financial readiness through a regulated capital raise without handing you off to a separate firm.
Institutional capability at a growth-stage scale. Traditional investment banks typically work with companies large enough to justify substantial fees and minimum deal sizes. The Weild & Co. affiliation gives our clients access to institutional capital markets infrastructure without requiring them to be a Fortune 500 company to access it.
Regulatory oversight and client protections. FINRA is the self-regulatory organisation that oversees broker-dealers in the US. Working with a FINRA member firm means regulatory oversight and compliance standards designed to protect clients, access to FINRA's dispute resolution process, SIPC membership, and adherence to Regulation Best Interest — which requires that any recommendations be in your best interest.
Not a default brokerage relationship. Many clients engage Three Vectors purely for fractional CFO leadership, FP&A, cashflow management, or financial strategy — none of which involves a securities transaction. The broker-dealer relationship with Weild & Co. becomes relevant only when a specific transaction requires it.
