Trustmark Bank’s Post

Our President & CEO Donald Musso Musso recently had the opportunity to speak to the graduating class at ABA Stonier Graduate School of Banking which left him very impressed for the next generation of bankers. In spirit of graduation season, Don takes this #MussoMinute to break down why he is so impressed by this year's graduating class and gives them some advice. What advice do you have for the next generation? Leave it in the comments below! 

To kick off 2024, I’ve answered a few questions about Arbuthnot Latham and my role here, please see the article below. If anyone in my network would like to explore a private banking relationship, or knows someone who might, please do get in touch.

Jamie Dimon touts #Florida connections for JPMorgan Chase & Co. — * $210M to #Tampa #economy re a 9K-SF expansion there; 6K #workers * $65M in #charitable contributions * The #namingrights deal for #soccer stadium in #FortLauderdale Overall: 14K #employees in the state, No. 3 for company after #NewYork and #Texas, which each have about twice that. Average #employee makes $87K, twice the state average [which admittedly must be weighted down some by #hospitality-heavy numbers — the shuttle drivers married to housekeepers and so on. "[O]ne-third of all Floridians do business with us through deposits, credit cards or a mortgage,” he wrote in part of his annual letter.

It is true that time heals all wounds, but we will always remember the losses experienced and the sacrifices made on 9/11. Auspiciously, that heartrending day marks AP's first day in business as a fully functioning, independent broker/dealer. Due to this shared history, each year on this day, AP suspends access to its website from 8:45 - 9:30 a.m., replacing it with a 9/11 tribute page. https://bit.ly/3zDFpXQ #americanportfolios #NeverForget #PatriotDay

Businesses, not unlike people, are constantly evolving. For small business owners, not only is this true but perhaps magnified. Independent financial advisors also fall into this category. How does an advisor who loves what he or she does stay ahead of all the macro issues affecting the industry and still stay vigilant and honor his or her firm's unique value proposition? How does an advisor think about (and plan for) the longer-term horizon for that firm? Some might see a quandry. Marc Freedman CFP® at Freedman Financial saw an opportunity. Long-associated with LPL Financial, Marc saw a way to enhance his clients' experience while also freeing himself up to do other things important to both him and his family...and to provide an enhanced client experience with LPL. A win-win. The point here is this...successful small business owners need to ask themselves these important questions at some point of their journey. The answers to these questions may help "future-proof" your advisory firm. 1) Should I bring on a partner? 2) How can I enhance an existing partnership to the benefit of both parties? 2) Is there another way to handle the "back of house" so I can spend more time with clients? 3) How can I maximize the assets I have without adding more? #LPLMasters Mindy Freedman

So important that institutions are recognising the unique challenges and opportunities that addressing nature presents to them. At the same time not forgetting that the link to climate change is deep and broad
