Public Finance

SMITH HAYES’ Public Finance Department provides Nebraska governmental bodies and nonprofit organizations with comprehensive financial advisory and underwriting services. Our investment bankers work closely with borrowers to develop innovative financing solutions that offer them the lowest cost of capital, satisfy their financial objectives, and concurrently provide Nebraska individual and institutional investors with an array of quality investments.

The SMITH HAYES Public Finance team is committed to meeting Nebraska’s municipalities’, public authorities’, and nonprofit organizations’ capital needs by offering excellent service, ongoing advice, and support. We provide our clients with detailed explanations of financing options--from unrated bonds to rated and/or enhanced debt, and other creative solution--and help them choose the structure that best meets their needs. Our resume of successful financings is as diverse as the wide range of Nebraska organizations with which we work.

Whether working with seasoned borrowers on multi-million dollar projects or taking small organizations through their first bond issue, we seek to be Nebraska’s premier investment banking institution. We are not interested in being the biggest, but we are fully committed to being the best investment banking firm in Nebraska.
