About Us
R. W. Pressprich & Co., Inc., an institutional fixed-income broker/dealer headquartered in New York City, was originally established in 1909 and in time became highly regarded as a pioneering specialist in fixed-income products. It was re-established in 1990 with a commitment to the same standards of excellence employed by its predecessor firm.
When bond salesman Reginald W. Pressprich formed R.W. Pressprich & Company in 1909, he founded one of the most progressive firms in the securities industry.
With the founder's drive and dedication as inspiration, R.W.

In September 1990, following a decade of private investment activities, RWP was recapitalized by a group of seasoned professionals and reentered the securities markets.
