Katie Costigan Interviewed by ‘Wealth Solutions Report’
Katie Costigan, Baird’s Executive Market Director in the Private Wealth Management business, recently chatted with Wealth Solutions Report to discuss what Baird is doing to ensure recruitment and retention of quality candidates. She noted the firm’s Financial Advisor Training Program (FATP), a program that recruits and trains post-grad talent with at least three years of sales or related experience.
“We prioritize finding business partners with a client-first mentality, whose values and priorities align with ours. We will continue to evolve, but not chase the latest trend to lure people in with the biggest check versus a full value proposition,” Costigan said.
