Drexel Hamilton

Drexel Hamilton, the sole investment bank that is 100% veteran-owned and operated, is delighted to announce the appointment of Retired U.S. Army General Stan McChrystal to its inaugural Board of Advisors.

As a highly esteemed four-star general, McChrystal brings an unparalleled wealth of leadership experience, organizational expertise, and geopolitical thought leadership to Drexel Hamilton.

"General (R) McChrystal stands as the foremost leader of the post-9/11 generation of veterans, and we couldn't be more thrilled to have someone of his caliber join our team, aligning perfectly with our culture and commitment to veteran hiring, as a 100% veteran-owned and operated broker-dealer," commented John Martinko, President of Drexel Hamilton.

McChrystal served as the former commander of U.S. and International Security Assistance Forces (ISAF) in Afghanistan, as well as the former commander of Joint Special Operations Command, the nation's premier military counter-terrorism force. He is widely recognized for his groundbreaking contributions in developing and implementing counter-insurgency strategies in Afghanistan, as well as revolutionizing the interagency operating culture through the creation of a comprehensive counter-terrorism organization.

In 2011, McChrystal founded McChrystal Group, an esteemed advisory services firm composed of professionals from diverse backgrounds, including military, academic, business, and intelligence sectors. The group specializes in transforming stagnant and siloed organizations into cohesive, adaptable "teams of teams," offering innovative leadership solutions to businesses operating in dynamic and challenging environments.

"This generation of veterans represent the epitome of excellence, and the more than 35 veterans who own, operate, and lead Drexel Hamilton – ranging from enlisted Army Rangers to commissioned Navy pilots – embody the finest qualities among us. I am honored to work with them," remarked McChrystal.

I'm optimistic about 2024 in the capital markets! 

After months of volatility and rising interest rates in Q3 last year, we’ve been watching benchmarks like the 10-year UST climb back down from peaks in late October. 

However, even though rates were moving back down, anticipating demand in the primary markets from Thanksgiving through the New Year is challenging due to the general slowing in #creditmarket activity throughout the holidays.

With rates off their peaks and everyone jumping back into work after the new year, new issue volume is expected to flourish in the upcoming months.

Also, the bulge brackets are anticipating a rebound in transactional volume and stability across both debt and equity underwriting. As highlighted in this Financial Times article back in October, while volume is still forecasted to be much less than 2021 levels, we’re looking forward to new issuance normalization and possibly slightly greater than 2019 levels.

If these predictions are correct, we can focus less on volatility in macroeconomics and more on continuing to succeed in our mission. More underwriting volume means more opportunities for Drexel Hamilton to grow and continue to give back to the veteran community.

I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays and we’re looking forward to a great year ahead.

This Veterans Day, as a 100% veteran-owned firm with 70% of our employees being veterans, we have so many veterans to thank, but today we'd like to highlight just one of our teammates. 

Jerry Majetich. 

On October 29th, 2005, while operating in Iraq, Jerry’s Humvee was targeted by a roadside bomb, killing two of the four soldiers inside. Jerry suffered near-death injuries with extensive 4th degree burns, gunshot wounds from the firefight that immediately followed the explosion, as well as other critical injuries.

He was recently honored as the keynote speaker for Building Homes for Heroes, Inc. at NYSE for his service both in and out of uniform. 

Please hammer down on the 'Repost' button, and comment below, to help us in thanking Jerry for his service.
