Ziegler is an unusual bank. Founded in Wisconsin in 1902 and now based in Chicago, it specialises in healthcare, senior living, education and non-profit organisations. A lot of its work is helping hospitals, care providers and schools raise money, often through bonds.
Who it suits
People who want finance with an obvious connection to something useful. If you'd find it more motivating to help a hospital fund a new wing than to help one private equity fund sell a company to another, Ziegler is worth a look. It's a US application.
On the resume
- Any connection to healthcare, care or education: volunteering, a job in a care home, a school governor role. Write it with numbers.
- Interest in debt and bonds, because public finance runs on them.
