As an independent advisor, Ranson Financial Group LLC has no relationship with any underwriting firm. In the bond sale process, we work for only one side of the transaction – for you, the issuer of municipal bonds.
Unlike independent advisors, many underwriters work on both sides of the transaction and attempt to serve both the issuers and purchasers of bonds. The underwriter’s conflicting goals are to obtain the lowest rates for issuers and reap the highest rates for the purchasers of those bonds.
