CENTERED IN TRUST AND LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIPS.

Since 1933, Stephens Inc. has been a leading investment banking firm in terms of public finance within the southern region. From our base in Arkansas, we have opened new offices in adjoining states. Today, we continue to look toward expansion, both in terms of office location and professional staff.

Similar to our firm's Mission and Values Statement, we believe the business of Public Finance is centered in trust and long-term relationships. Our continuous representation with many Public Finance clients dates back to the 1960s.

The department is staffed by individuals with significant tenure in this business. Our senior bankers have on average 17 years of experience within the industry representing various tax-exempt issuers. In terms of Stephens’ involvement with issuers, our practice includes negotiated and competitive underwritings, as well as financial advisory services.

The firm's distribution of securities, both retail and institutional, is a proven strength. Given Stephens' capital position, we are able to underwrite bonds quickly and efficiently for our clients.
