Welcome to our November Broker – Dealer Newsletter.
Historically, the last two months of the year have been the most active deal months on the GT Securities platform, and the last two months of 2021 were the highest two transaction volume months in the history of our investment banking market sector. So let’s hope and plan that November and December 2022 will follow suit for us all!
In this month’s newsletter, I encourage watching the recording of our platform best practices “refresher” webinar held on October 28th.
Michelle Mueller will then share compliance updates and Zaya Bold will for banker collaboration, and Mimi Frey will do so for accounting and billing.
To all of our success,
Jay Turo
Managing Director
GT Securities, Inc.
