The Company clears transactions through Mesirow Financial, Inc. which was founded in 1937 and has its' headquarters in Chicago, Illinois.

Fixed Income Securities Specialists

Ruan Securities offers a full selection of fixed income securities, with the credit quality, maturities and yields to meet individual objectives. Our long term experience and involvement in fixed income securities investing and in Iowa municipal bonds underwriting gives us an edge. We don't dabble in bonds; we make our living developing and maintaining bond portfolios for some of Iowa's biggest banks and insurance companies.

Municipal Bonds

The strength of Ruan's tax exempt bond desk is our experience and long term involvement in Iowa municipal bonds underwriting. Our long term relationships with many of Iowa's municipalities give us a unique understanding of the issues we bring to market. Our consistent and current number one ranking in Iowa municipal bond underwritings as measured in numbers of underwritings by Thompson Financial is evidence of our commitment to Iowa Public Finance. *

Government Bonds

Ruan maintains an active Government Securities trading desk and works with clients to find the treasury securities that provide both the safety and liquidity they need. Whether you're looking for direct obligations of the United States government, such as Treasury Bills, Notes or Bonds, or Government Agency Securities Issued by various agencies of the United States government, like Fannie Mae(FNMA), Ginnie Mae (GNMA), Freddie Mac (FHLMC), the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB); Ruan understands the market.

In addition to their safety record, United States government securities offer competitive rates of interest and can provide for a steady stream of current income. Investors are able to lock in yields for a fixed rate of return until their securities reach maturity or are called, if subject to a call provision.
