History
Sweney Cartwright & Co. and its forerunner, Lowry Sweney, Inc., have built over 70 years of trust in the Central Ohio area, the most important aspect of the securities business.
The company operates from an office in the Huntington National Bank building and is Columbus's only locally owned, full-service securities firm. It is from this office that functions are handled — customer investments, operations, underwriting, and trading. Customer securities are held in the Huntington Bank vault or at the Depository Trust Company.
Sweney Cartwright & Co. offers customers conservative investments for both income and growth. The company specializes in tax-free municipal bonds for conservative investors in Ohio. For investors looking for taxable income, it offers high quality corporate, U.S. Treasury, and U.S. Government agency bonds. For equity investors, the firm is a member of the Chicago Stock Exchange, giving it access to all equity securities. Sweney Cartwright also makes markets in over 50 community banks trading on the NASDAQ stock market.
Sweney Cartwright & Co.'s roots are in the Huntington National Bank, where Lowry Sweney managed the investment department and was the first manager of Huntington Securities, established in 1929. In 1933, the Roosevelt administration passed the Glass-Steagell Act, which made banks divest themselves of their broker-dealer departments.
In response to the impositions of the Glass-Steagell Act, Sweney left the bank in 1934 and purchased the assets of Huntington Securities to form Lowry Sweney, Inc., which operated for more than a decade. In 1946, Todd Cartwright, a longtime business associate, returned from Chicago, and, with Lowry Sweney and Ralph Elam, formed Sweney Cartwright & Co. Stephen Sweney joined the firm in 1956 and Stephen Cartwright in 1959.
Today, the firm is operated by its principals and stockholders:
Stephen Cartwright, President
George Geissbuhler, Vice President
Frank Ingwersen, Vice President
Christopher McCargish, Vice President
Christopher Keklak, Secretary Treasurer
Sweney Cartwright & Co. has played an important role in the growth of Greater Columbus through the financing of schools, streets, water and sewer systems, and public buildings. The company looks forward to serving investors throughout the next century.
