Advanced Securities Consulting was founded in 2006 by Edmon (Ed) Blount. Ed formed ASC after three decades working in the securities markets to meet a demand for rigorous qualitative analysis of financial transactions, supported by statistical and quantitative methods. ASC applies a depth of practical knowledge and experience in areas like securities lending and finance, corporate governance, risk management, and elsewhere in combination with a “deep dive” into the underlying data to provide meaningful and well-supported advice and conclusions. In addition to assisting institutional investors, brokerage firms, and financial and other firms directly, ASC collaborates with legal teams, economic analysis firms, government agencies, academics, and others to provide in-depth expert assessments and forensic data analysis.

Ed has assembled a team of highly educated and experienced experts and staff giving Advanced Securities Consulting a “deep bench” on which to draw. Our consultants and experts are highly collaborative, responsive, and trained to provide thoughtful and creative solutions to the most difficult questions.
