A Note From the CEO - First Foundation

The first quarter of 2010 has put us on a solid track to build on our 2009 performance for investment management, wealth planning, consulting, trust and banking. The ability to cross reference our clients to the various services we offer has been a tremendous asset to being a single provider for all financial needs. We truly felt the banking industry did not deliver an integrated financial services platform for client needs in a boutique setting. Your confidence in banking with us shows us we were right. Thank you. We look forward to gaining even wider recognition as a superior institution as we continue to expand with an unmatched ability to serve our niche market of wealthy clients. We are extremely pleased to announce our first expansion. This July, we are opening an office in Pasadena, where all of our services will be offered in full. While many uncertainties still persist over the economy, we take great pride in knowing we've been able to successfully grow through these challenging times.
