Introducing AD&C 
Alasdair Douglas & Co. - A Digital Relationship Brand  - Accordion Link

Alasdair Douglas & Co. (AD&C)  Alasdair Douglas & Co. ("AD&C") is a brand whose origin dates to early 2000s when a group of capital markets executives began acquiring investment management firms, municipal bond dealers, and specialized capital markets service providers. Over time, through its RW Smith subsidiary, AD&C became one of the largest interdealer brokers for municipal government obligations in the United States.

The roots of AD&C’s innovation extend back to the early 1980s, when its Principals collaborated in pioneering original equipment manufacturing customization of 40’ ISO intermodal cargo containers. These containers were designed as movable self-service storage units, placed at apartment complexes, shopping centers, and convenience stores. The project employed innovative financing through tax-leveraged leases, which involved an international financial guarantee—an early application of cross-border financial guarantee insurance.
This innovation laid the foundation for what would later become the Lock Box™ container program, necessitating the development of global operations technologies and protocols that now underpin the Alliance iii.o Protocol.

From Platforms to Ecosystems
Core elements of Platforms, Communities, Investments, and Initiatives, originally created through the Investors Guaranty Global Alliance™, subsequently evolved into the AD&C framework. These principles and technologies have driven the growth of AD&C’s Initiatives, Ecosystems and Opportunities Protocols.

Today’s AD&C
