The Indiana Bankers Association has endorsed The Baker Group over 30 years and this endorsement was one of our Association’s first Preferred Service Provider relationships. With this longevity, we know what a great partner The Baker Group is, and how well they assist Indiana banks in the areas of investment and balance sheet strategies. They do so by offering tailored solutions in asset/liability management, fixed-income investments, education, regulatory compliance and strategic balance sheet consulting.
Recently, The Baker Group was announced as the exclusive broker-dealer provider for ICBA Securities, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Independent Community Bankers of America. Under this multi-year partnership, The Baker Group will provide industry leading investment products, services, and education to community banks across the United States.
“We are thrilled to announce this strategic partnership with ICBA,” said Carl Huxley, CEO at The Baker Group.“ This collaboration represents an exciting opportunity to unite around our shared mission of empowering and supporting community banks. By combining the long-standing strengths and expertise of both organizations, we look forward to delivering even greater value to ICBA member banks and the communities they serve.”
The Baker Group works with over 35 Indiana institutions to develop, implement, monitor and update a financial strategy that is unique to each client. Every institution has characteristics that make them different from the next. There are never any cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all answers; but there are always answers. The professionals of The Baker Group realize the investment portfolio must be managed in the context of the bank’s overall growth and business strategies and they will utilize the company’s knowledge and resources to help your institution achieve its financial goals. Baker will assist in ensuring the bank’s portfolio stays on point toward the fulfillment of those goals.
“Community banks are the lifeblood of America. For more than four decades, The Baker Group has been dedicated to serving and supporting community banks and the associations that advocate for them,” said Ryan Hayhurst, president of The Baker Group. “This partnership strengthens that mission and will enable us to reach even more banks nationwide and deliver them the education, tools and strategies needed to thrive in today’s dynamic environment.”
The Baker Group – now an even stronger partner for community banks with solid ideas for 21st century community financial institutions.
