Collectively, we effectively price and place bonds for municipal issuers with institutional investors, demonstrating our:

  • Broad market knowledge
  • Expertise in structuring bonds of municipal entities in various sectors and regions
  • Depth and sophistication of resources
  • Strong capital base (balance sheet) to support our municipal clients
  • Diverse and institutional distribution capabilities

Industry Recognition

  • No. 1 underwriter nationally since 2009 by number of issues collectively*
  • Over the past 10 years, Baird has served municipal issuers in all 50 states as well as Washington D.C*

Analytical Coverage

Our municipal analysts work diligently to offer timely commentary and strategies tailored to meet the unique needs of each audience, including retail investors, institutional investors, and portfolio analysts. Additionally, this information is used internally by our fixed income institutional salesforce to keep potential investors aware of municipal credits and sector updates to generate new ideas and opportunities to enhance their portfolio.
