      Cowen Partners Launches Family Business Center

      Cowen Partners recognizes the impact that family businesses have on our economy and their local communities.

      Family businesses are at the heart of the U.S. economy. They contribute over half of our nation’s GDP and employ over 60% of the country’s workforce. Family business owners are among the most committed to their employees since they often hire other family members, friends, and relatives to support their operations.

      A significant number of our clients are family owned and we are excited to launch our family business center to support our current and future clients.
