Posted: March 16, 2022

Bancroft Capital Markets Associate and former U.S. Army Green Beret, Lieutenant Colonel (Ret) William J. Marm, is scheduled to speak on the Russian invasion of Ukraine at the annual Security Traders Association of New York (STANY) Conference. The conference is scheduled to take place at 11 Wall Street (NYSE) on Monday, April 4 from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Marm is a keynote speaker at this year’s conference, where he’ll be presenting ‘A Geopolitical Debrief – The Russian Invasion of Ukraine’ from 1:30-1:50 p.m. Marm will discuss an up-to-date synopsis of the invasion and its effects on global markets. A 20-year veteran of the United States Army and a financial services professional, Marm will give a unique perspective on the topic. Marm enrolled in the Bancroft Veteran Training Program following his military career; he recently graduated and is now a registered Bancroft representative with the FINRA SIE, Series 7, and Series 63.

Bancroft Capital, a certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) specializing in Institutional Brokerage and Capital Markets services, was co-founded in 2017 by Cauldon D. Quinn, CEO, a disabled Navy veteran. His vision was to build a company with a strong commitment to service: service to clients, country, and veterans. As a for-profit company, Bancroft rises above the competition on the merit of value-added content and leadership derived from industry veterans with 40+ years of industry pedigree; and on the foundation of a commitment to offer meaningful training and employment to service-disabled military veterans through Bancroft’s signature Veteran Training Program (VTP).

The VTP puts disabled veterans and first responders in a position to develop a skill set capable of supporting a new career as Institutional Traders and Investment Bankers. Bancroft aims to offer paid opportunities to up to four candidates each year. Candidate training includes a rotation among the five business units Bancroft operates and an introduction to back office and operations functions, sales trading and compliance while participating in the VTP.
