Crews is a team of dedicated individuals, each with their own unique talents and skills, working together to serve clients in Arkansas and across the country. In over 40 years of doing business, we’ve earned a strong reputation nationwide for helping institutions, individuals, and communities navigate markets and exceed their financial goals.
Adron Crews, our founder and namesake, believed in three key principles of successful living and working, and he has stressed these principles from the firm's beginning. His "three-legged stool" approach may sound simple, but it is the absolute reason for the firm's success and continued advancement.
Through our sales and trading team we work with institutional and individual clients all across the country helping them execute their investment strategies through access to our products and trade ideas. With an average yearly trade volume of nearly $15 billion, we've made fixed income our specialty.
Through our Capital Markets team we help our clients access capital through the bond market to build needed infrastructure as our communities grow. We may serve as underwriter, financial advisor, placement agent, or lessor based on the needs of the client.
Crews is unique. With a family atmosphere and Arkansas roots - we make sure work is fun and that our clients' success is the priority. Finding overlooked value in the market for our investors or solving complex financing needs of a client just comes natural. And, we look forward to it every day.
