“I’ve been asked many times whether the location of our investment banking firm, away from Wall Street, in downtown Little Rock, Arkansas, is an asset or a liability. I have always believed it to be a BIG ASSET. It offers a style of living that is second to none, and I am proud to call Little Rock my home. It offers a flavor of our past. Yet at the same time there is a vision for the future and what we want our city to be.
The rebirth of the downtown area is already becoming a selling point in our recruitment of talented investment professionals to Stephens Inc. The Clinton Library, the River Market, the Arkansas Arts Center, and the opening next April of Dickey-Stephens Park in North Little Rock makes the downtown experience a combination of commerce, culture, AND community.”
Warren A. Stephens, President & CEO, Stephens Inc.
