Ziegler, a Chicago-headquartered investment bank and brokerage
firm, has hired Kenneth R. Koger as a financial advisor.

An Accredited Asset Management Specialist, Koger has more
than 13 years of advisory experience, working with clients to identify and
achieve financial goals through investments and tailored advice.

Working from Ziegler’s Chicago
office, Koger’s hire is part of the firm’s on-going growth strategy for the Chicago market.

“I’m excited about the growth we have had this year, but it’s
really just the beginning. Hiring quality financial advisors continues to be
one of our key initiatives and we will continue to seek out advisors who are
interested in growing their practice in a boutique environment that offers them
a high level of support and flexibility,” said Chris Zelesnick, senior managing
director and head of Ziegler Wealth Management.

Koger joins Ziegler from U.S. Bancorp Investments, where he
served in the company’s private client group.

As at end of June 2013, Ziegler had about $4 billion in
assets under management for retail investors.
