Public Finance Perspectives

At Stephens, we create financing solutions for issuers large and small. No matter your specific short- and long-term financing needs, you can be confident we have the expertise to create thoughtful, effective solutions that are right for you and your constituents. We offer financing services unique to you, including financial planning and debt modeling, debt monitoring and management, debt restructuring and refinancing analyses, bond election campaign assistance, credit rating support, continuing disclosure assistance, board trainings, financial data analysis, and municipal bond market updates. Stephens has extensive experience serving as underwriter. For example, since 2013, Stephens has served as underwriter on over $50 billion in par amount of bonds offered. Stephens has demonstrated its financial viability, having been in business since 1933. If necessary to support a client’s financing, the firm may commit its capital to underwrite unsold bonds should a balance of bonds remain after an order period.
