Syndicate Underwriting

Crews & Associates, Inc. makes a strong commitment to bond issuers through underwriting new bond issues, often taking managed risks by positioning unsold balances in order to complete negotiated and competitive transactions. Our firm’s Syndicate Desk committed to over 300 underwritings in 2002 alone, and our inventories accounted for more that $6 billion in securities activity. With an emphasis in Arkansas, Louisiana, West Virginia and the mid-Atlantic and southeast states, Crews & Associates’ Inc. participates in issues throughout the United States.

Product availability is paramount in the securities industry. Borrowers and investors recognize that Crews & Associates, Inc. not only supports the securities it sells at the time of issuance, but also in the secondary markets--as investors require liquidity in active secondary markets. Regardless of the size of the institution or individual investor, we work hard to obtain the best execution price.
