simple; whether an individual or institutional client, it believes in

and then manage the clients' assets to provide them the best opportunity
to meet them; and

roots back to 1994 when it was founded as First Albany Asset Management;

tutions and individuals who enhance the quality of life in their commu-
nity and have shown a long and sustained commitment to the maintenance

nition and applause of all the citizens of this great Empire State; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
