Fulton Bank Unveils New Capital Markets Initiative
Fulton Bank, a key player in the Mid-Atlantic financial landscape, has announced the establishment of its new Capital Markets team, positioning itself to enhance service offerings for clients in a rapidly evolving financial environment. The team will be spearheaded by Christopher Bigos, who brings nearly two decades of banking experience to the role.
A Strategic Move to Address Growing Client Needs
As financial markets become increasingly complex, Fulton Bank recognizes the necessity of providing tailored solutions to its clients. "As our clients continue to grow, we want to be there to provide the solutions they need," stated John Glover, the Head of Commercial Banking at Fulton Bank. The newly formed Capital Markets program is designed to deepen partnerships with capital markets providers and effectively manage syndications and derivatives, thereby expanding the bank's credit capacity.
Leadership with Extensive Experience
Christopher Bigos, who has been appointed Head of Capital Markets, has a proven track record within the organization. He started his career at Fulton Bank as a management trainee, progressing through various roles, including Commercial | Industrial credit analyst and relationship manager. After a brief stint at HFF, Inc. where he honed his skills in commercial real estate (CRE) capital markets, Bigos returned to Fulton in 2015, eventually rising to the position of Senior Vice President in Commercial Real Estate. His comprehensive experience is expected to drive the bank’s efforts to grow its syndications and interest rate hedging business.
Focus Areas of the New Team
The newly established team will shape the strategic direction of key areas such as commercial industrial and commercial real estate syndications, along with interest rate hedging for clients. Bigos's leadership aims not only to expand the syndication business but also to continually evolve the bank's CRE capital markets program, ensuring Fulton Bank meets the dynamic needs of its client base.
Commitment to Community and Economic Growth
Fulton Bank’s initiative underlines its commitment not only to individual clients but also to broader community development. As a community bank with roots anchored in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Fulton Bank is a subsidiary of Fulton Financial Corporation. With over $30 billion in assets and a network of more than 200 financial centers across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia, the bank emphasizes robust relationships and significant community support.
Through its Fulton Forward® initiative, the bank champions efforts that foster vibrant community ecosystems. This dedication aligns with Bigos’s vision for the Capital Markets team, which aims to broaden financial opportunities for the bank’s clients.
Looking Ahead
The formation of the Capital Markets team at Fulton Bank represents a critical step in meeting the evolving demands of clients and enhancing service capacity within the financial industry. With Christopher Bigos at the helm, the program is positioned to create impactful financial solutions, allowing Fulton Bank to solidify its reputation as a community-focused financial institution dedicated to its clients’ success.
