The Taxable Fixed Income Division of George K. Baum & Company, located in our Kansas City offices, provides direct access to the institutional markets for our customers. The annual sales volume of the division averages more than $5 billion. These volume numbers alone speak of the enormous trust our clients have in our ability to quickly and efficiently execute trades.

Products handled by the division include Treasury bills, notes and bonds; federal agency securities, including new issues, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, corporate securities and money market securities which include an institutional series of money market funds for cash management needs.

Our Taxable Fixed Income professionals average 18 years of experience, working with clients who value personal service and relevant products at the best prices. We offer information about, and assistance with, specific client diversification techniques, swap opportunities, security analysis and, above all, safety and liquidity strategies for portfolios.

With the complexities of today's markets and the variety of securities available, the knowledge of our investment professionals in the specific needs of our clients is an essential factor in managing a successful portfolio.

Our professionals don't push a "product of the day," or the latest fad. We learn about a product, verify its fit with our clients' needs, educate our clients about it and, if appropriate, execute a trade at the best price available.

Some of our professionals have become so well-versed on products that they have conducted seminars for securities regulators and examiners. Knowledge is power, and our desire is for every client to be as powerful as he or she can be in today's rapidly changing marketplace.
