The Evolution of Wealth Management in Native American Communities

"Breach of trust is a well-known story among Native American tribes, whose history is littered with broken treaties, generations of failed and destructive Indian policies, and countless unkept promises. Fiduciary relationships, by contrast, are built on the cornerstones of trust and integrity – the kind that have historically been nonexistent in partnerships with Native American tribes. But the landscape is changing, creating opportunities for advancement, enhanced and self-governance, particularly in the realm of financial stewardship"

Gary Garvin, Baird Financial Advisor Foundations Program, Enrolled Member of the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin

"Baird Leads Business Initiative for Native Alaskan Students"

Baird announced an exciting partnership with the Alaska Native Science & Engineering Program at the University of Alaska Anchorage. The partnership focuses on supporting Indigenous students and bringing them into the world of financial services. Through support from the Baird Foundation, the organization has been awarded $100,000 to grow its programming and continue investing in students.

Baird’s longstanding support of the Native American Financial Officer Association (NAFOA) and its Private Wealth Management presence in Anchorage led to this connection with ANSEP (Alaska Native Science & Engineering Program). Baird has previously partnered with various native tribal organizations–to develop programs that help tribal youth better understand the worlds of economics and business, with a critical goal of assisting qualified candidates to pursue higher education in financial service-focused studies.
