Public Finance

The Crews Public Finance team has a history of experience serving the financing needs of communities across the country. Our bankers work with community leaders from a broad spectrum of institutions to walk them through the process. The financing vehicle can vary greatly β€” from a traditional underwriting to private placements or limited offerings β€” with the ultimate goal of delivering the capital needed to meet our clients’ needs while providing favorable terms and interest rates.

The Bridge

Crews’ underwriting desk is responsible for connecting our borrowing clients to our investing clients, working as the bridge between capital markets financing and fixed income sales and trading. We are blessed to have a great team with years of experience serving in this role, which is an essential function in delivering exceptional terms and interest rates for our clients. This ability is something we take great pride in here at Crews as we strive to serve our clients beyond their expectations.

We are proud to serve as municipal advisor to over 125 clients. The relationships we have been fortunate to build over the past 40 years are priceless. In return for the trust instilled in us, we are committed to providing excellent service with the goal of going above and beyond expectations.
