DALLAS – Oklahoma-based broker dealer BOSC Inc. is now known as BOK Financial Securities after a name change that took effect Monday, officials said.
Applying the BOK brand across all business lines is designed to align wealth management divisions and improve name recognition, officials said.
"BOK Financial is a respected and trusted $31 billion financial institution, with a strong presence in some of the most dynamic markets throughout the Midwest and Southwest," said Brett Dean, president of BOK Financial Securities.
"By aligning our broker dealer operations with the parent company brand, we can benefit from broader name recognition as well as more streamlined marketing opportunities," he added.
Established 25 years ago, the former BOSC Inc. grew to one of the largest brokerage firms in the Southwest, with most of its business built in Texas and Oklahoma. In 2015, the firm transacted approximately $19 billion in securities volume.
BOSC Inc. was the top ranked senior managing underwriter of negotiated municipal bond sales in Oklahoma in 2015 as measured in dollar amount, and the third ranked senior or co-managing underwriter of negotiated municipal bond sales in Texas.
Nationally, BOSC was the fifth ranked financial advisor to school districts by dollar amount, the ninth ranked senior or co-managing underwriter of negotiated school district sales by dollar amount and a top ten ranking as senior managing underwriter of negotiated and competitive "bank qualified" municipal bond sales.
