B.C. Ziegler and Company is a firm that has a dedication to client services unmatched in the financial services industry. B.C. Ziegler and Company, has been serving and responding to its client's needs since 1902.

Founded in West Bend, Wisconsin by B.C. "Ben" Ziegler, today, Ziegler is an investment banking and brokerage firm. A recognized leader in investment banking for churches and the healthcare and long-term care industries, it is the largest subsidiary of The Ziegler Companies, Inc.

Founded as an insurance agency, the firm soon added other financial services. In 1913 it underwrote its first bond issue-for a West Bend church. By the 1960s Ziegler was noted for its leadership in healthcare financing; in the 1970s Ziegler expanded and introduced a tax-exempt financing division.

The fast-paced 1980s and 1990s have brought a great broadening of services and products. Today, a network of Ziegler brokerage offices serves investors nationwide.

As an investment banker, Ziegler has developed new methods of financing that continue its preeminence in the healthcare and long-term care fields. Having underwritten bond issues totaling more than $20 billion, Ziegler's record of safety and investor service is a special point of pride.

It is the intent of the management of Ziegler to continue to grow this business through new and innovative products and services, sound management practices, client focus, and fair treatment of its employees. Ziegler has a rich history. Our future success is dependent upon products and services that meet the ever changing needs of our clients.
