First Kentucky Securities Corporation (“FKSC”) was founded in 1977 by Donald E. Bradshaw, former State of Kentucky Finance Secretary, and Ralph G. Nall. From its inception, FKSC was instrumental in the formation of initial and enabling legislation for many of the municipal bond issuing agencies and programs in the State of Kentucky. The Firm has continually played a principal role in the Kentucky municipal bond market, serving as Fiscal Adviser and Underwriter for major issuers including the Kentucky Housing Corporation, the Kentucky Higher Education Student Loan Corporation, the Kentucky Turnpike Authority, various Kentucky universities, school districts, water and sewer districts and municipal financing agencies. The principals and associates of FKSC are dedicated to providing diverse and innovative concepts for the municipal marketplace. Our Public Finance Department boasts a combined experience of over 90 years in the industry. This experience has resulted in the issuance of billions of dollars in municipal bonds. In addition to the public finance and investment banking capabilities, FKSC’s trading operations provide access to municipal markets in Kentucky and the financial centers of the United States. Our commitment to our customers, on either a buy or sell basis, is to consummate the trade at the best market price and provide the highest level of service. To further provide localized service for our clients, FKSC opened additional offices in Lexington (February, 2002) and in Louisville (August, 2005). FKSC is dedicated to providing the highest level of excellence to all our clients: institutions, individuals, corporations and municipalities. We are Kentuckians striving to serve Kentucky, its citizens and its communities.
