First Southwest’s involvement in the public sector extends to virtually every type of public
financing. Our extensive participation in hundreds of transactions every year consistently
earns us top industry rankings. During the past five years, First Southwest Company provided
financial advisory services on 4,345 bond or note transactions totaling $112.71 billion par
volume. Thomson Reuters ranks us the number-one firm for number of issues and number-two
for par volume.
Seen not only for our extensive volume of participation in the industry, we as well have
received “Deal of the Year” awards on nine different occasions from The Bond Buyer or
Institutional Investor. Such level of recognition is highly coveted in the public
finance arena.
First Southwest offers fiscal planning advice on small and large-scale capital improvement
programs and state and local public development projects. Our approach to providing financial
advisory services is comprehensive and includes developing finance plans, advising on the timing
and structuring of bond issues, setting finance terms, coordinating related service providers,
preparing and reviewing documents, assisting with the credit rating process, conducting the
marketing and sale of bonds, and providing ongoing services between transactions. One of our
distinguishing qualities as a financial advisor is that we incorporate the implications of
arbitrage rebate, investment of bond proceeds, continuing disclosure, derivative products and
real-time market information into all phases of our plans.
Each project demands a solid understanding of complex financial issues. First Southwest Company
has consistently delivered value by providing sophisticated financial solutions to help clients
attain their goals.
