Sanders Morris Harris was founded in 1987 to formulate a financial services firm that could not only capitalize on investment opportunities – but could actually create them. Sanders Morris Harris began “Investment in Common”, a philosophy where the principals of Sanders Morris Harris would invest alongside that of their clients (wherever similar goals) to ensure alignment, focus and shared risk. Whether advising, originating, trading, managing or distributing capital for corporate, institutional or individual investors, our approach has always been simple and straightforward: to align our goals with theirs. 

Since then, Sanders Morris Harris has invested billions of principal, client and affiliate assets in a variety of stocks, bonds and private opportunities. The firm has invested over $1.3 billion in private companies on behalf of its clients and principals, with current investments in over 125 companies. As an independent firm, Sanders Morris Harris is free to focus on building long-term relationships and long-term results, emphasizing goal achievement and respect for accumulated capital.
