Business Wire
Broadpoint AmTech, a broker-dealer subsidiary of Broadpoint
Gleacher Securities Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: BPSG), today announced
that David Harris has joined the firm as a Principal and Research
Analyst responsible for covering the US REIT sector.
Mr. Harris has been involved with public property companies for
more than 25 years and four property cycles. He has spent the last
15 years in the US serving in both buy-side and sell-side roles. As
a senior REIT analyst with Lehman Brothers, Mr. Harris was involved
with some of the largest REIT initial public offerings of the last
decade and was highly regarded and recognized by investors for his
balanced view of the sector. His prescient report, “After Seven
Years of Plenty,” which he authored while at Lehman Brothers,
cautioned investors about the risks related to excessive debt just
two months before the peak of the REIT market in February 2007.

associate of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors in
1981.
Robert Meier, Chief Executive Officer of Broadpoint AmTech,

important new vertical. David brings a wealth of experience and
insight to our firm and we look forward to expanding our breadth of
