DALLAS, May 14, 2019 – Hilltop Securities Inc. (HilltopSecurities) today announced the co-owners of Connecticut’s Independent Bond and Investment Consultants, LLC, (IBIC) recently joined the firm’s public finance division in Connecticut.
Mark N. Chapman and William (Bill) N. Lindsay join the firm as managing directors. The bankers will work out of HilltopSecurities’ public finance office in Madison, Connecticut, where they will help the state’s issuers develop debt management programs, implement credit rating strategies, and structure municipal securities.
“We are pleased to welcome Mark and Bill to our public finance office in Connecticut,” said David Medanich, vice chairman and head of public finance. “We are fortunate to find two individuals with this kind of experience serving Connecticut’s local governments.”
Chapman and Lindsay will work alongside existing Connecticut-based municipal advisors, Director Adam Krea and Vice President Susan Caron, and report to Regional Managing Director Steve Kantor. “We’re very excited to have Mark and Bill join Adam and Susan in our coverage of Connecticut and its municipalities,” said Kantor. “We look forward to having them on our team as we work to expand our client base in Connecticut.”
Prior to joining HilltopSecurities, Chapman and Lindsay were co-owners of IBIC—an SEC and MSRB registered independent municipal advisor—which was founded in 1988 to provide the state’s issuers with personalized service from local investment bankers. Together, they served as municipal advisors to 40 municipalities and school districts throughout Connecticut.
“HilltopSecurities has the resources of a national firm and the approach of regional practice,” said Chapman. “They place a premium on local knowledge and their model is a natural progression from IBIC.”
“We’re thrilled to join a firm with a strong reputation in both Connecticut and across the country,” said Lindsay. “We’ve known Adam and Susan for a long time, and it’s great to be able to work together to help advance Connecticut communities.”
